Most of us have heard of IoT and have a reasonable understanding of what it means. Devices such as voice-controlled speakers, smart thermostats, wireless security cameras and the like, are all IoT devices and part of the Internet of Things. However, most people are unlikely to know the term IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). IIoT […]

To answer this question, it is first worth quickly explaining the difference between deep learning and inference. Deep learning is the process of creating a computer model to identify whatever you need it to, such as faces in CCTV footage, or product defects on a production line. Inference is the process of taking that model,

SMARC is a small computer-on-module form factor used for low power applications. When combined with a custom baseboard, SMARC will give you a modular computing platform that can be easily upgraded as and when new CPUs become available. Generally SMARC and Qseven may both be considered for new applications that need a small, low power
Reasons to use SMARC over Qseven Read More »
