Microchip’s Mi-V Ecosystem
Mi-V, pronounced “my five,” is Microchip’s continuously expanding, comprehensive suite of tools and design resources that have been developed with numerous third parties to support RISC-V designs. The Mi-V ecosystem aims to increase adoption of the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and our System on Chip (SoC) FPGA and RISC-V soft CPU portfolio.
The Mi-V ecosystem supports development using their RISC-V SoC FPGAs and soft CPUs.
Intelligent Embedded Vision at the Edge
Microchip’s PolarFire® SoCs and PolarFire® FPGAs integrate camera sensor interfaces like MIPI® and SLVS, an image signal processing unit and transport interfaces like CoaXPress®, HDMI®, 10 GigE vision, SDI and wireless connectivity. They suit embedded vision and deep learning inference applications, and they can seamlessly support and integrate diverse protocols and interfaces with minimal developer effort as part of a total system solution. Microchip’s VectorBlox accelerator SDK for PolarFire FPGAs also includes video, imaging and machine learning IP plus the tools for accelerating designs that require high performance in low power, small form-factors.
