Imagimob and Infineon: Accelerating AI Solutions for Automated and Electric Vehicles on AURIX Microcontrollers

Autopilot again electrical installation there is key drivers of innovation in the automotive industry. They rely on efficiency Edge AI solutions important support functions such as driver behavior monitoring, pedestrian detection, traffic sign recognition, and lane control.
Today, imagimoba subsidiary of Infineon Technologies AG strengthens automotive machine learning portfolio by integrating AI capabilities into Infineon’s ASIL-D (Automotive Safety Integrity Level D) compliant automotive MCUs, such as AURIX™ TC3x and AURIX™ TC4x.

What Do Infineon’s AURIX TriCore Microcontrollers Do?

Infineon’s AURIX TriCore microcontrollers combine the RISC processor core, microcontroller, and digital signal processor (DSP) into a single chip (MCU), making them ideal for complex automotive applications. These microcontrollers (MCUs), are designed for safety-critical systems in both conventional combustion engines and electric/hybrid vehicles.

I AURIX TC4x family next-generation evolution that offers improved performance, scalability, and secure processing for applications such as electric mobility (eMobility), driver assistance systems (ADAS), and automotive electronic/electrical (E/E) architecture. It combines high-speed communication links such as 5G-bit Ethernet and new standards such as CAN-XL, which offer flexibility for connected and autonomous vehicles.

I AURIX TC3x familywith its hexa-core architecture, supports ASIL-D (Level D Automotive Safety Integrity) compliant and commonly used systems for engine management, transmission control, braking systems, electric power steering, airbags, and sensor-based technologies such as radar and LIDAR.. It is particularly suitable for safety-critical applications in autonomous driving and hybrid vehicles, including battery management and inverter control.

Both the TC3x and TC4x families are critical components in enabling secure, reliable, and efficient systems for autonomous, clean, and connected vehicle technology.

What does Imagemob do?

imagimob you are very focused enabling machine learning (ML) at the edge, especially autonomous and automated driving applications. They provide a platform called Imagimob Studio that allows developers to build, train, and deploy machine learning models directly on microcontrollers (MCUs)such as the Infineon AURIX TC3x and AURIX TC4x families. This simplifies the complex process of integrating AI capabilities into automotive systems.

Imagimob helps developers from automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers builds machine learning models for edge computing, focusing on AI tasks such as object detection, acoustic recognition (eg, siren detection), and predictive maintenance..

The company combines its ML platform with Infineon’s AURIX MCUs to allow automakers to implement advanced AI applications that can run in real-time and securely handle big data. imagimob offers pre-built projects (eg, siren detection) to help developers understand how to apply ML models to AURIX MCUs, reducing the learning curve and making the process more accessible.

In addition, imagimob you created new regression models what he knows measuring remaining battery power, checking health status, and calculating usage time.

Advanced AI features with AURIX TC4x

I AURIX TC4x the growing MCU family it is an improvement of the TC3x series of ASIL-D compliant automotive microcontrollers, powered by the next generation TriCore Architecture 1.8. It has features scalable accelerator suite with parallel processing unit (PPU) again smart accelerators to integrate inexpensive AI. These advances improve machine learning capabilities, allowing engineers to simultaneously run multiple or more complex models. For example, while the TC3x delivers basic siren detection, the TC4x can handle both siren detection and voice interaction at the same time.

We’ve covered several collaboration strategies between Infineon and software developers that enhance the capabilities of the AURIX TriCore microcontroller, including this one Aurora Labs and, more recently, Green Hills Software.
