Rockchip, in collaboration with Arm and OPEN AI LAB, launched the AI development platform.
On September 14, 2018, in Shanghai, China, at the first “Arm Artificial Intelligence Developer Global Summit” hosted by Arm China and AIEC, Rockchip, Arm China, and OPEN AI LAB jointly released the EAIDK (Embedded AI Development Kit) development platform based on the RK3399 chip, aimed at the design and development of embedded AI applications.
The RK3399 EAIDK development platform, jointly released by Rockchip, Arm China, and OPEN AI LAB, is a hardware development kit that integrates reference design, chip debugging and testing, and chip validation. It leverages OPEN AI LAB’s AI core software platform AID and Rockchip RK3399 chip’s powerful multimedia interfaces and rich peripheral interfaces, providing developers with high-quality hardware reference designs, allowing them to complete hardware development for AI products with minimal or no modifications to the reference design module circuits.
Chen Feng, Global Vice President of Rockchip, stated: “Rockchip has extensive commercial experience and cases in the field of AI chips, and many industry chain partners have launched AI terminal devices equipped with RK3399 chips. The Rockchip RK3399 EAIDK development platform will integrate Rockchip’s various resource advantages to provide comprehensive support for AI developers and partners’ products across multiple scenarios and platforms.”
Jin Yongbin, Vice President of Arm China, stated: “The Rockchip RK3399 EAIDK development board is the first AI development platform based on the Arm architecture, supporting SDK development, application software development, and operation for the RK3399 chip. This AI development platform has complete interfaces and strong extensibility, making it applicable to different AI usage scenarios and supporting full functional validation.”
The RK3399 chip is one of Rockchip’s high-end chips, suitable for high-performance application processors for high-end tablets, laptops, and smart monitors, and is one of the powerful solutions for 4Kx2K content. In the field of AI, the RK3399 has achieved commercial use across multiple fields, industries, and scenarios, including smart homes, AI robotic vacuum cleaners, IoT AI speakers, OTT, and more.
The Rockchip RK3399 EAIDK development platform also has strong potential for industry-academia-research expansion, providing platform support for related AI development courses in domestic and foreign universities and educational institutions, facilitating the development of the entire AI industry chain,” said Xu Haibing, General Manager of Solutions at OPEN AI LAB, who believes the Rockchip RK3399 EAIDK development platform has vast application fields.
For developers, the Rockchip RK3399 EAIDK development platform will provide three major advantages:
Lower Development Threshold: The Rockchip RK3399 EAIDK platform provides developers with a “modular” development environment, allowing them to easily bypass technical difficulties and focus on product creativity and application scenario design.
Improved Development Efficiency:The Rockchip RK3399 chip features a rich variety of interface types, enabling developers to quickly achieve hardware development.
A More Open Environment: The open SDK environment of the Rockchip RK3399 chip allows developers more freedom in software and hardware development, making products more competitive.
The first Arm Artificial Intelligence Developer Global Summit focused on top chip, software, and hardware companies and industry leaders in the global AI industry chain, attracting nearly a thousand domestic and foreign developers to participate. Experts from Arm and the Arm AI ecosystem provided comprehensive in-depth analysis of embedded intelligent systems for AI developers.
