SolidRun in Israel has developed a system-on-module (SoM) with the latest Hailo-15H chip for edge AI.
The Hailo-15H AI vision processor on a 47mm x 30mm SoM module from SolidRun is ready for deployment in security, industrial automation, smart cities, retail and automotive designs.
The Hailo-15H includes a quad-core ARM processor sub-system and the second generation Hailo accelerator integrated into a single System-on-a-Chip (SoC) with up to 20 TOPS AI performance.
- Second generation AI vision processor targets smart cameras
- Hailo expands embedded AI chips into entry level
- Hailo ports transformer AI to embedded chip
The AI can be used for both image enhancement, such as low-light denoising and high dynamic range, as well as for superior video analytics. This allows developers to process multiple complex deep-learning AI applications in parallel for higher speed and efficiency. The Hailo-15H also enables high FPS DL model processing, ensuring fast and highly accurate detection of objects in real time. It supports 4K60 or 2x4K30 resolution and a 12MP ISP video pipeline.
“SolidRun’s SOM based on our Hailo-15H SOC represents a significant milestone for in-camera edge AI processing and provides engineers with a compact solution that delivers unparalleled performance and energy efficiency for a wide range of AI vision applications. Working with SolidRun, we’re able to empower customers to quickly unlock the full potential of AI at the edge, and drive innovation across countless industries,” said Yaron Ofer, Regional General Manager at Hailo.
“Our vision at SolidRun has always been to simplify the complex world of embedded systems and empower engineers to innovate without constraints,” said Dr. Atai Ziv, CEO at SolidRun. “Collaborating with Hailo to develop the Hailo-15H SOM, we’ve introduced an integrated solution that achieves just that. This market-ready solution seamlessly combines cutting-edge AI inferencing capabilities with ease of integration, ultimately reducing engineering time and costs. Most importantly, it enables developers and engineers to devote their energies entirely to realizing their product vision.”
The Hailo-15H SOM is compatible with various micro-camera solutions, including models from Leopard Imaging. Its pre-tuned MIPI-CSI2 interface seamlessly integrates with a range of micro-camera solutions, providing developers with a hassle-free, plug-and-play experience. This ensures the effortless incorporation of high-quality imaging capabilities into AI-powered applications, further enhancing their functionality and performance.
The temperature range from -40°C to 85°C ensures reliable operation in a variety of industrial settings, making it ideal for deployment in harsh environments.
The Hailo-15H SOM comes with a comprehensive software suite, including drivers, libraries, and tools designed to streamline the development of AI vision applications. With support for standard ML frameworks such as Keras, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and ONNX, as well as specialized image and video processing algorithms, the Hailo-15H SOM provides engineers with everything they need to accelerate their AI projects.
The SOM also supports industry-standard infrastructures and frameworks, coupled with robust security measures such as secure boot and debug with the hardware-accelerated crypto library, TrustZone, TRNG, and Firewall.
The Hailo-15H SOM is now available through SolidRun’s official website and select distributors, with a starting price of $149. Additionally, SolidRun will soon announce an expansion to the Hailo SOM product line, which will include a Hailo-15M SOM, featuring the same pinout for seamless integration, as well as a new carrier board to expand the development and prototyping with these new SOMs.
