Infineon CY8CKIT-062S2-AI PSoC 6 Edge AI evaluation kit features multiple sensors, Arduino headers, Pmod connectors

Infineon CY8CKIT-062S2-AI evaluation kit is a hardware platform built around the PSoC 6 family of MCUs and designed to help developers easily create and test edge AI applications. The dev board features an array of sensors including radar, microphone, magnetometer, IMU, and an air pressure sensor, which make it easy for data collection applications. The board also features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and includes an additional expansion header that can be used to connect other modules and sensors. All of these features make this board useful for building a wide range of AI-powered applications, including smart home automation, industrial monitoring, wearables, healthcare devices, and robotics.

Previously we have written about similar low-power edge AI modules such as the Digi ConnectCore MP25, the Axiomtek AIE110-XNX, and the Arducam KingKong feel free to check those out if you are interested in such low-power modules.

Infineon CY8CKIT-062S2-AI Evaluation Kit specifications:

The evaluation kit comes with ready-to-use machine learning models, that make it easy to develop applications according to specific needs. This board is also compatible with ModusToolbox, which is Infineon’s software tool for embedded development and we have seen it used in the PSoC 64 IoT Security Workshop Development Kit. The tool is for machine learning, connectivity, and security, and is compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS.

The board also supports Imagimob Studio platform for creating machine-learning models and using them on small devices. It helps you collect data, build models, and put them on devices like the PSoC 6 MCU.

The board also supports TensorFlow Lite Micro and neural network acceleration through CMSIS-DSP and CMSIS-NN. All this, along with great hardware and connectivity features like MQTT, HTTP, and AIROC Bluetooth, makes rapid prototyping and AI application development.

The Infineon CY8CKIT-062S2-AI Evaluation Kit is priced at $37.50 on Mouser Electronic and $50 on DigiKey.
