anyone done a CPR course?Can you DM me and tell me what's the usual length of course and a few finer details please( getting sorted now no need for further DM) love this place

MicroChip's PolarFire 2 SoC FPGAs
Here's something interesting to ponder. After reading this recent article, I'm wondering whether it could have potentially uncovered something that may be referring to us being incorporated in Microchip’s formal rollout of the new mid-range FPGA and SoC family that will occur at the Mi-V conference later this year.
Looking back on the history, we know that BrainChip has a relationship with SiFive. In a press release from SiFive, they said they'll be working with us on the X280 in the Intelligence Series (see below).

BrainChip and SiFive partner on next-generation edge AI chips
BrainChip and SiFive have combined the former's Akida architecture with the latter's RISC-V processors to bring AI and ML to the edge.www.edgecomputing-news.com
And Microchip has been working with SiFive since 2015. And MicroChip and Si-Five and NASA have also been working together. A couple of snippets from this article (below) make me wonder if AKIDA could be what SiFive is referring to as their “Intelligence Extensions,” which they say “are custom instructions that SiFive developed to accelerate AI/ML operations”. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we're involved in some way, shape or form in the roll-out of PolarFire 2 SoC FPGAs later this year. Anyway, it's all very interconnected and exciting IMO but my cousin is coming to lunch in a few minutes time so I'm typing this as fast as my little fingers will allow, so those who have a penchant for dot collecting, can do your thang!

Does 2+2=4? Microchip announces PolarFire 2; You Do the Math

Just to make it clear in regards to the above, I believe there's a very decent chance that we're in NASA’s High Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC), in other words in PolarFire 2 SoC via SiFive's X280 processor cores because the timing is spot on within NASA's target time IMO. Microchip previewed its PolarFire 2 mid-range SoC FPGA family at the RISC-V Summit in December 2022.

Good to see the TRL has increased to 4 indicating things are progressing.
I think last time I reviewed SBIR TRL was 2. Seems at the end of this the project will be at 6.
What's My TRL Score?
Technology Readiness Level (TRL) is widely used as an approximate measure of a technology’s maturity level. This method of evaluating a technology was originally created for the aerospace industry, but has been adopted by many other areas of technology as well. The TRL assessment can be used to...
The summary of the various TRL levels is as follows:
- TRL 1 is the beginning stages of any technology and encompasses basic research.
- TRL 2 moves from basic technology research into proving the feasibility of the application and applied research.
- TRL 3 moves the technology beyond the paper stage to the experimental stage. Components of the technology are being tested at this phase.
- TRL 4 moves into technology development and is the first step in determining if the components will work together as a system.
- TRL 5 moves the technology from development into demonstration. The technology should almost be at a prototypical level.
- TRL 6 continues with the technology demonstration and begins the true engineering scale, moving beyond the laboratory scale. At this phase, the prototype should be able to perform all the functions required in the operational system and the testing environment should closely resemble the actual operating environment.
- TRL 7 begins system commissioning and requires demonstration of an actual system prototype in a relevant environment. Final design is just about complete.
- TRL 8 proves the technology functions as designed and has been proven to work. This phase represents the end of system development.
- TRL 9 is a system that is fully operational. The technology is complete and is functioning in whole in the targeted environment.

Fantastic research (as usual).
A few interesting spikes, but I don't think it reaches the synaptic threshold ... yet.
One negative spike is the reference to "custom instructions that SiFive developed to accelerate neural network computation".

To me, this reads as in-house software that SiFive developed. Now, as we all know, Akida could do this much faster and more efficiently, so there is definite scope for the inclusion of Akida in lieu ... and that is probably the objective of the BrainChip/SiFive partnership, but I don't think it has quite come to fruition yet.
No doubt they have done the simulations, but I don't think they would have the production silicon yet, though I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong.

This is by all means not new information from NVISO's website.. but sometimes it's easy to forget that while we expect Brainchip to put numbers on the board, legislation is applying time pressure on manafacturers to implement monitoring systems that is highly unlikely Akida won't be a part of:
- "6th July 2022 the new Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council has mandated driver drowsiness and attention warning (DDAW) systems for all new type-approved motor vehicles of categories M and N from 6 July 2022 and from 7 July 2024 for all new vehicle registrations. This regulation is expected to accelerate the adoption of AI within interior monitoring systems of drivers and occupants."

Thanks Dodgy-knees!
This article says that SiFive can develop a chip design in under 3 months and they can help customers design a RISC-V CPU in under one hour, so they're not averse to working fast. We started partnering with them on their Intelligence Series in April 2022, so fingers crossed!
