Yes, I was just airing my frustrations, LOL.
From your short list, one really stand out: RTX, enormous company. Nice to see some top brass from them visiting the BRN hotel room.
Prophesee: Under bank administration, edge company that didn't make it, hmm.
BeEmotion: Less than 20 employees, smart car sensors and stuff.
Al Labs: Very interesting company, could be very beneficial to us down the road.

De Girum: Small company, just saw the podcast, I slap you back and I slap yours, old buddy, but Bill Eichen knows what's he talking about.
Quantum Ventura: Around 25 employees, specializes in Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning, AI/ML Verification & Validation, Cyber, etc.
Vedra Labs: Another small company but specialized in medical test products, interesting.
So a lot of engagements going on, which is good. Some said they have been fully booked during CES which is another very good sign that the interest is there.
We just have to be patient, I am convinced it's coming (the IP deals).

Hi Guzzi, I too would like to see some contracts with huge companies. I think you are right and DTX could be big for us. However I don’t underestimate some of the smaller companies bringing us success. To be honest I am not sure if DiGirum needs to be any bigger to deliver the online service that they provide. I was impressed listening to the podcast and what DiGirum have been able to create so far. Also if Quantum Ventura and BrainChip can crack a stand out solution for cyber security then I think that could be big. From their original announcement we know they have been working on it for a couple of years now.Yes, I was just airing my frustrations, LOL.

Time will tell, but I see it as a positive that that companies we are working with are now being mentioned at a time when BrainChip has announced their new Akida stick.
Righto, some one list all these people please and their positions in the company. Cheers

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
"Best-in-class power efficiency", so they say! Whose NPU is this I wonder?
Says here the "basic R-Car X5H includes up to 32 Arm Cortex-720AE" and we know were are compatible across Arm's product range.
Renesas previously collaborated with Hailo to offer combined solutions that pair the R-Car V4H SoC with Hailo-8 AI accelerators.
However, there isn't any publicly available information indicating that Renesas and Hailo have collaborated on the R-Car X5H, at least none that I've found as yet.

Chiplets Extend Automotive SoC AI and GPU Capability
Dec. 28, 2024
Renesas’ R-Car X5H SoC, which meets ASIL B/D, provides scalable automotive compute.
William G. Wong
https://www.electronicdesign.com/print/content/55252079
- Features of the R-Car X5H automotive system-on-chip family.
- How Renesas is taking advantage of chiplets.
The R-Car X5H family is a fifth-generation automotive system-on-chip (SoC) developed by Renesas that supports ASIL B/D capabilities as well as a neural processing unit (NPU). Built on the latest 3-nm chip technology, enhanced versions of the SoC come courtesy of chiplet technology. I talked with Cyril Clocher, Senior Director of the Automotive Product Line, about the details.
High-Performance Compute for Automotive Safety-Critical Apps
The basic R-Car X5H includes up to 32 Arm Cortex-720AE applications cores capable of delivering 1000K DMIPS of performance (Fig. 1). Real-time support is provided by half-a-dozen Arm Cortex-R52 cores with dual lockstep capability. These can deliver 60K DMIPS of performance while meeting ASIL B and ASIL D certification requirements.

1. The Renesas R-Car X5H includes 32 Arm Cortex-720AE applications cores, six Arm Cortex-R52 cores with lockstep support, an NPU, and a GPU.
There are general-purpose DSP cores, too, along with specialized accelerators such as the image signal processor (ISP) and dense-optical-flow (DOF) hardware accelerator (HWA) for handling multi-megapixel camera video streams.
The on-chip NPU can deliver up to 400 TOPS, while the on-chip GPU generates 4 TFLOPS of performance.
The chip includes an 8-port Ethernet switch, USB 2/3 ports, and PCI Express (PCIe) that supports Gen 4 and Gen 6. Also in the mix are an on-chip dedicated NPU and GPU. The GPU can drive a car’s display panel while the NPU handles artificial-intelligence and machine-learning (AI/ML) models.
Enhanced Automotive Chips Utilize UCIe
While the basic R-Car X5H monolithic chip is very impressive, it is designed to be enhanced using chiplets that employ Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) connectivity (Fig. 2). It can include up to two chiplets.
Renesas
2. The R-Car X5H can be enhanced by including an NPU and GPU chiplet.
Renesas has two types of chiplets that can be included in enhanced versions of the R-Car SoC—again, an NPU and a GPU. These are designed to augment the functionality of the built-in NPU and GPU. The chiplet and on-chip NPU are able to run a separate set of AI/ML models. Likewise, the GPU can drive additional displays.
Building a Software-Defined Vehicle
The R-Car X5H family is destined for new automobiles including software-defined vehicles (SDVs). Thanks to the massive amount of computing power, the chip can handle everything from the advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) to driving automation.
Renesas’ R-Car Open Access (RoX) SDV platform helps get developers up to speed by simplifying their development chores (Fig. 3). It works with a variety of pre-integrated operating systems and frameworks, tying them into the Arm Cortex-A720AE and Cortex-R52 compute arrays. It utilizes open-source software and standard. APIs. Software built on the reference stacks can be turned into products.

I think it's great to see NimbleAI combining AKIDA 1500 with the Hailo-8 accelerator for inference processing for their prototype.
Why? Because, as mentioned in the post above, Renesas utilised Hailo-8 AI accelerators for the Renesas' R-Car V4H SoC.
So, the news from NimbleAI further bolsters my hope that our tech may be included in the upcoming Renesas R-Car X5H. Surely NimbleAI can't be the only ones to think that pairing Akida and Hailo is a good idea, can they?
What is also interesting is that IKERLAN is the coordinator of the NimbleAI project.
IKERLAN also happens to be an Associated Partner in the iSense consortium, a European Doctoral Network focused on in-situ monitoring of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Other associated partners in the consortium include - you guessed it - Renesas, as well as Airbus, Valeo, Thales, Phillips and Canon amongst others. So I live in hope that the consortium members, such as Renesas, would be aware of NimbleAI's work.
Incidentally, in relation to the iSense consortium and the in-situ monitoring of electromagnetic interference (EMI), I asked ChatGPT whether BrainChip's neuromorphic technology could help with in-situ monitoring of EMI, by way of the tech being incorporated into some sort of smart sensor and ChatGPT response to this question was extremely optimistic which you judge for yourself from the extract below.

So were the chips that BRN supplied to DeGirum the FPGA chips?
That would make sense as that was the stated purpose of the FPGA chips.

All you techies, please note the enormous amount of self-restrainf displayed by the absence of any reference to flash memory.

My very rough understanding of FPGAs is that they are like Integrated Circuits, done on an electronics bread board..
They work like the final product, while being adjustable, but are basically hand made "chips" which by that very nature, are extremely low volume..
As in, you "cannot" do a "run" of them..
I know that's oversimplifying things a lot but I like to simplify things.. May even be completely off track?..
My thinking, is that it gives prospective customers, a Real World look, at what AKIDA 2.0 can do, beyond simulation, without actually being "proven" in silicon?..
Although, what makes AKIDA technology "special" has been proven, with AKD1000 and AKD1500, in two separate foundry processes.

Only cost the company a few million for the like
Good afternoon back in Australia,
I'm sure others read my posts, so wherever you are in the world, gidday !
I have just listened to the first podcast hosted by Steve Brightfield, what a relaxed professional, I loved it, he's not a journalist, he's
a veteran technology professional, having been in the industry for 35 plus years, it shows !
This next point is important, this is the positive effect Sean has had since coming on board, he has targeted (in my opinion) top class,
mature executive type staff, surrounding himself with guns, not to dissimilar to what Peter and Anil did in the early years, surrounding
themselves with top class PHD Scientists and Electrical Engineers.
Steve has brought his old mate Bill on board, they met as young blokes (35 years ago) so the trust and friendship is solid, that's
what I'm talking about, those types of relationships open up DOORS !
Listen carefully to what Bill says, within 5 minutes of logging into Degirum, Brainchip software is ready to give you benchmarks for
what you are looking for.
"Your team (Brainchip) is available to support us ASAP, you're in California, we're in Silicon Valley"
"A lot of people are trying it" (Brainchip, that is)
Are we getting any traction ?
Do we have the attention of a number of "major players" ?
Is the general tech industry finally starting to get a handle on Edge AI, and more specifically Spiking Neural Networks ?
Is/Was CES 2025 all about AI and weeding out the hype and getting down to the "Real Disruptors" who are the "Real Deal"?
Forget the current share price, Bottsie is having a field day, buying and selling to itself, do you think all our partners and current
engagements give a S... about the day to day bullshit, they are engaged with a company that has the goods, and the ones who
have the "real investment dollars" are getting to know it, faster and faster as this "evolutionary game" plays out !!
Talk about the Nasdaq is a total fantasy for us, in my opinion it will only happen in a take over scenario plays out and the name
Brainchip will sadly be a distant memory, sorry, but that's how I see it over the next 5 years.
More to come..........have a top weekend.......Tech.

I disagree that a NASDAQ listing, is a "total fantasy" Tech
...It is, while we are unprofitable.
But with strong profits down the track (hopefully within the next 2 to 5 years, the sooner the better) I think a NASDAQ listing, would then become a certainty.
