Sipeed MAix: AI at the edge
AI is pervasive today, from consumer to enterprise applications. With the explosive growth
of connected devices, combined with a demand for privacy/confidentiality, low latency and
bandwidth constraints, AI models trained in the cloud increasingly need to be run at
the edge.
MAIX is Sipeed’s purpose‐built module designed to run AI at the edge, we called it AIoT. It
delivers high performance in a small physical and power footprint, enabling the
deployment of high‐accuracy AI at the edge, and the competitive price make it possible
embed to any IoT devices. As you see, Sipeed MAIX is quite like Google edge TPU, but it
act as master controller, not an accelerator like edge TPU, so it is more low cost and low
power than AP+edge TPU solution.
MAix's Advantage and Usage Scenarios:
MAIX is not only hardware, but also provide an end‐to‐end, hardware + software
infrastructure for facilitating the deployment of customers' AI‐based solutions.
Thanks to its performance, small footprint, low power, and low cost, MAIX enables the
broad deployment of high‐quality AI at the edge.
MAIX isn't just a hardware solution, it combines custom hardware, open software, and
state‐of‐the‐art AI algorithms to provide high‐quality, easy to deploy AI solutions for the
edge.
MAIX can be used for a growing number of industrial use‐cases such as predictive
maintenance, anomaly detection, machine vision, robotics, voice recognition, and
many more. It can be used in manufacturing, on‐premise, healthcare, retail, smart
spaces, transportation, etc.
MAix's CPU
In hardware, MAIX have powerful KPU K210 inside, it offers many excited features:
1st competitive RISC‐V chip, also 1st competitive AI chip, newly release in Sep. 2018
28nm process, dual‐core RISC‐V 64bit IMAFDC, on‐chip huge 8MB high‐speed SRAM (not
for XMR :D), 400MHz frequency (able to 800MHz)
KPU (Neural Network Processor) inside, 64 KPU which is 576bit width, support
convolution kernels, any form of activation function. It offers
0.25TOPS@0.3W,400MHz, when overclock to 800MHz, it offers 0.5TOPS. It means you
can do object recognition 60fps@VGA
APU (Audio Processor) inside, support 8mics, up to 192KHz sample rate, hardcore FFT
unit inside, easy to make a Mic Array (MAIX offer it too)
Flexible FPIOA (Field Programmable IO Array), you can map 255 functions to all 48 GPIOs
on the chip
DVP camera and MCU LCD interface, you can connect an DVP camera, run your algorithm,
and display on LCD
Many other accelerators and peripherals: AES Accelerator, SHA256 Accelerator, FFT
Accelerator (not APU's one), OTP, UART, WDT, IIC, SPI, I2S, TIMER, RTC, PWM, etc.
MAix's Module
Inherit the advantage of K210's small footprint, Sipeed MAIX‐I module, or called M1,
integrate K210, 3‐channel DC‐DC power, 8MB/16MB/128MB Flash (M1w module add wifi
chip esp8285 on it) into Square Inch Module. All usable IO breaks out as 1.27mm(50mil)
pins, and pin's voltage is selectable from 3.3V and 1.8V.
MAIX's development board (M1 dock & M1w dock, w
means WiFi version)
Firstly, We make an prototype development board for M1, called M1 dock or Dan Dock, it is
simple, small, cheap, but all functions include.
As many DIYer want build their own work with breadboard, Sipeed newly provide
breadboard‐friendly board for you, it called MAix BiT
It is twice of M1 size, 1x2 inch size, breadboard‐friendly, and also SMT‐able,
It integrate USB2UART chip, auto download circuit, RGB LED, DVP Camera FPC
connector(support small FPC camera and standard M12 camera), MCU LCD FPC
connector(support our 2.4 inch QVGA LCD), TF card solt.
MAix BiT is able to adjust core voltage! you can adjust from 0.8V~1.2V, overclock to
800MHz!
And the bigger and better MAIX's development board Sipeed MAIX Go
MAix Go is bigger and better than M1 Dock.
It is 88x60mm, all pins out, with standard M12 lens DVP camera, and the Camera can be
fliped from front to rear!
It have on board JTAG&UART based on STM32F103C8, so you can debug M1 without extra
Jlink.
It have lithium battery manager chip with power path management function, you can use
the board with lithium battery and usb power without conflict~
It have I2S Mic, Speaker, RGB LED, Mic array connector, thumbwheel, TF card Slot and so
on.
This suit include 2.8 inch LCD too, and have an simple case for it.
MAIX's peripheral module
We have see basic camera and LCD interface on board, so DVP Camera and MCU LCD is
support very early.
It support OV7725, OV2640(default, 2M),OV5640 for the moment.And it support 2.4
inch st7789, and 2.8 inch ili9341 LCD in QVGA resolution.
We have extra tiny I2S mic module and Cool 6+1 Microphone Array Module
Sipeed 6+1 Microphone Arra is a 6 microphone expansion board for Maix AI development
boards designed for AI and voice applications.
Including 6+1 digital microphones, 12 three‐color LEDs, it supports sound localization,
beam forming, speech recognition etc.
Next one, we have Binocular camera module!You can try binocular stereo vision with it
Sipeed Binocular camera module is a camera expansion board for Maix AI development
boards designed for AI and Binocular stereo vision applications.
It supports Binocular stereo vision and depth vision. The camera(OV2640 or OV7725) and
I2S mic are optional.
MAix's SoftWare
MAIX support original standalone SDK, FreeRTOS SDK base on C/C++.
And we port micropython on it: http://en.maixpy.sipeed.com/. It support FPIOA, GPIO,
TIMER, PWM, Flash, OV2640, LCD, etc. And it have zmodem, vi, SPIFFS on it, you can edit
python directly or sz/rz file to board. We are glad to see you contribute for it:

MAix's Deep learning
MAIX support fixed‐point model that the mainstream training framework trains, according
to specific restriction rules, and have model compiler to compile models to its own model
format.
It support tiny‐yolo, mobilenet‐v1, and, TensorFlow Lite! Many TensorFlow Lite model can
be compiled and run on MAIX! And We will soon release model shop, you can trade your
model on it.
