\r\n Get started with the Ensemble E7 AI\/ML AppKit <\/h4>\r\n \r\n

\r\n The Ensemble E7 AI\/ML AppKit (AK-E7-AIML) enables quick software development and evaluation for Endpoint Machine Learning use cases. Powered by an Alif Ensemble E7 fusion processor with four compute cores (two Arm Cortex-M55 and two Cortex-A32), and two machine learning accelerator coprocessors (two Arm Ethos-U55 microNPUs) with ample memory and peripherals, this kit is the ideal platform to build Endpoint ML projects that input sensor data and leverage ML in an extremely power-efficient way. On board is a camera\/image sensor for snapshots or video input, plus motion and sound sensors to round out a variety of Endpoint ML use case scenarios. Several pre-built applications are available for the AI\/ML AppKit so you can quickly get started. <\/p>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n

\r\n Alif Security Toolkit <\/h2>\r\n \r\n \r\n
\r\n \r\n

\r\n Quick Start Guide (v3.2) shows how to install the Alif Security Toolkit (SETOOLS) for Ensemble devices and shows some common commands used during application development.
\n\n
NOTE: Beginning with the V1.107.00 release, the default tools configuration for the target device is the Ensemble E8 device used on the Ensemble E8 DevKit. If you are using any other kit or your own board, you will need to select the correct target device. See Section 4 of the latest Alif Security Toolkit Quick Start Guide for details on different ways to do this.
\n\n
Alif Security Toolkit: (v1.107.00) for use with the Ensemble devices or evaluation kits. After downloading your Toolkit, be sure to update your board to the same version by running the updateSystemPackage utility.
