What should I use for an embedded AI module ?

[MT.9]

Hi,

I am working on the implementation of a AI algorithm in a heat pump. My first choice was the SPEAr320 MPU: it is outdated though, it doesn't have enough resources and any FPU. Which MPU should I choose for this application ? that is to say inference and training of the AI algo.

Hi @Community member​ ,

I'm not AI expert, but all STM32MP1 products offer SW AI capabilities with Linux.

I think you could try using an existing development board to figure out what will be the inference rate with your AI algorithm.

Btw, the model training is not done on MPU target but rather on a PC during model development phases.
