The development and validation of ADAS/AD systems follow techniques that are fundamentally different from the conventional ones used in the automotive domain.
Read our latest application note that gives an expert analysis of these techniques and the technologies used:

APPLICATION NOTE

Novel Strategies for ADAS/AD Validation​

Data-driven, Cloud-based & Digital Twin enabled
The future of mobility in the coming years depends on ADAS (Advance driver assistance systems) and AD (Autonomous Driving) systems. Efficient and reliable technologies are imminently required to develop, verify, and validate ADAS/AD systems. This application note throws light on the three important domains for the development of ADAS/AD systems namely: Data-driven, Cloud-based & Digital Twin-enabled.

Development and validation of ADAS/AD systems are fundamentally different from the conventional techniques utilized for other automotive domains. This can be attributed to certain factors like:

• A plethora of sensors are used in ADAS/AD vehicles.
• Complex algorithms performing the functions of perception, path planning, and navigation.
• Conventional testing techniques cannot provide full functional test coverage to the ADAS/AD systems, as they need to be exposed to real-world situations, corner cases, accident scenarios, etc.

This note also showcases the implementation of standard compliance when doing simulations for ADAS/AD systems. Real-world examples are utilized to explain the concepts clearly in this application note.

Novel Strategies for ADAS/AD Validation

Tata Elxsi's application note highlights ADAS/AD validation in the automotive industry through data-driven, cloud-based & Digital Twin-enabled domains.

Careful mate or the thought police will be on your case.
This post, apparently, should only be displayed on the marryouwanna thread, cause putting it here is too disruptive to their thought processes.
If you're not careful, soon they'll start calling you a clown. And then where will you be?

C-DAC developing India’s first indigenous microprocessor​

C-DAC’s roadmap for processors is aimed at helping the country become self-reliant in microprocessors development using indigenous design.​

“It is a low power, low footprint and low-cost chip which could be deployed for wider applications,” he said. The technology has been developed and distributed to institutes to further development. They had set an ambitious target of meeting at least 10% of the country’s microprocessor requirement, Ethirajan said.

.................C-DAC has signed a contract with VVDN Technologies for the manufacturing of C-DAC’s Rudra servers. These servers will be used in the upcoming PARAM series of supercomputers to be built under NSM. Rudra server is designed as a dense form factor and targeted for HPC and hyperscale data centres. The transfer of technology for manufacturing of C-DAC’s Rudra server was already under process.

"however in TD's letter he states that the Akida1500 tape out was because of direct engagement with customers"

When the news of the AKD1500 came out the other week, I did find it strange and was of the opinion either the AKD500 or 2000 would be next. One thought that did come to me at the time was this - Brainchip has shown their AKD1000 to all of the NDA co's and other announced companies and we would assume they are all impressed with the technology. The fact that little revenue has come from all these excited companies is that they were aware of what Brainchip had available in the near future(at that time) and would only commit once they see the AKD1500 work for their application with the increased functionality. Once the AKD1500 is proven, the floodgates will open.

An analogy to this is why would someone want to buy the 2022 model of a vehicle, when they know that the 2023 model, just around the corner, offers additional functionality and performance?

JK.
I just thought I would share with you my thoughts on this matter.

I don't see the Akida 1000 then 1500 then 2000 etc to be a lineal process where the product is the next model up or better in your terms as a newer model.

I see the Akida 1000 as the base model where the genesis of the technology lies, while the 1500, 2000 etc etc, contain the basic functions of the 1000 albeit now the 1500 has a bolt component better suited to deliver the akida 1000 functionality to a slightly different customer base and or purposes.

So using an analogy of motor vehicles. You can buy a base model 7 seater Nissan Pathfinder 2WD or spend more and get the TI version (flash model with leather trim etc) or you can go to the 4x4 version starting from the base model up to the flash model.

Does this vehicle have the same chassis, engine, dashboard and other stuff. In general yes but they use the base model to refine to each customers specific purpose. So a city family city may want the 7 seats but not the 4x4, but the young couple may not want the 7 seats rather the wagon to sleep in whilst 4x4 around the country.

Thats how I see our great technology being used by the company.

PS I am not technical, but I am sure Dodgy Kness may offer some resemblance of support to this concept or blown this theory away totally.

I read today Nintendo may be releasing the next version of Switch in 2024, and not doing a lot in 2023, not even many new games announced, indicating they are likely winding back support for current Switch to focus on the new one - Think the original switch was 2017, so they are definitely due.

Its really hard to find any Nintendo development info though - tight ship

Apparently Nintendo scrapped updating current switch at the11th hour in favor of a whole new platform.
My uneducated guess is that this new platform will contain Petes love child, baby Akida, I think it's more than just wishful thinking.

I don't think Akida 1500 is the same as the original Akida 1500.

Akida roadmap 2021:

The original was supposed to have LSTM and transformers. I don't know if they are still included.

If anything, this Akida 1500 is the el cheapo version.

I believe it does not have the ARM Cortex processor, thus it saves the licence fee to ARM.

It does have the 22nm FD-SOI tech, which NASA has recently decided is desirable for space. This will have reduced leakage, making it more energy-efficient, and have a smaller footprint because of the removal of the ARM MCU. The Akida NN will be configurable via whatever processor Akida is accelerating.

From memory, most of Megachips revenue is from Nintendo. If we can make our way into their next console and controllers, we may end up in 80% of their products? That would be a nice earner as Nintendo sell about 20 million consoles a year.

If you look into some of the products that keep circling BRN.. they all seem to be associated with the ARM 9 series boards , even the model number ARM946E
From Nintendo

From Socionext

Given that the ARM946E has been around since the year 2000, it makes complete sense that Brainchip could be part of the evolution of ARMs "Performance" board..

From memory... Nintendo made this decision about the same time as Megachips signed up for the IP license with Brainchip. I agree... not just wishful thinking.

For shits and giggles,
20m units per year sold at 400 buks a pop ish, SAY 1% of this to brainchip. 80m per year revenue, all profit, pe of 30 is 2.4b value just for this single use case

Probably dreaming...

And Nintendo is known to push boundaries and try new technology. They have always been happy to let Sony/Xbox and even Sega/Neo Geo back in the day "beat" them on pure graphics output but they have always had a bit of twist to their consoles/handhelds. The Wii had the motion controls, DS had dual screens, the switch can be played docked to a TV or handheld. Hopefully, they are taking a chance on our new tech. No idea how they would integrate it but the Japanese tend to think outside the box!

I like your dream but hasn't it been thrown around that we would only get a royalty of about 50 cents to $1 per chip? Assuming there is only one instance of akida in each console, it is more likely $10-20 million per annum. Still amazing given it is from one customer and one use case.

If we are also in each controller (Nintendo usually splits their controller into 2 so would require one in each) then you could double or triple the number above.
