BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Fact Finder]

Thanks so much FF always appreciate your words of wisdom and knowledge you are a wonderful asset for many of us here on this forum. I’m in the process of developing a citrus property and I always seek others who are more knowledgeable than me that way I learn.
I guess as a retired secondary teacher I have learnt to ask question. Thank you.

Thanks for those kind words but it just has to be said you have chosen a bitter sweet project for your retirement.

Nice to see some movement northwards.....I have a question.

With a number of posts focused on the upcoming release of new AI Chips, either in the last quarter of this year or suggested by
various companies to enter the product market in Q1 2023 etc.

If Brainchips IP was/is embedded in their designs, wouldn't we be fully aware of it, as in, NOW?

These companies (dots) would have had to have signed an IP agreement prior one would suggest.

I see no such commitment at this present time, and I'm not referring to MegaChips etc.

Feel free to enlighten me on your view/position.

I do know one thing currently, the company is certainly holding its cards very close to its chest, not criticism, just an observation
of mine.

By the way "Karma" is coming to ALL shorters.... your deeds have a close out point, light is fast approaching Brainchip's tunnel, the
end is nigh for you lot........may the bright light shine down on all that sail with Brainchip....great to be a shareholder!!!!

Hi Tech

I am not suggesting that this has in fact been done to avoid disclosure but the legal answer is to be found in the GetSwift and ASIC appeal decision.

Cutting through all of the nuance this case was about the failure of GetSwift to disclose in its ASX price sensitive notice regarding a sale that the sale was conditional upon the purchaser obtaining finance.

The up shot of this case as far as the ASX is concerned was that conditional agreements are not able to be announced until they are no longer conditional and the company can show the money to the market.

So as I said way back in 2019 if two like minded parties wanted to inject into their contract terms a condition precedent that had to be met before a binding agreement occurred they could by choosing something like “after the successful production of 10,000 iPhones containing AKIDA IP the parties will enter the agreement blah, blah, blah” they can delay an announcement.

Until that condition is met no agreement meeting the ASX obligation would exist.

Such approach having been approved by the Federal Appeals Court no less.

As they say where there is a will there is a way. As long as what you are trying to do is not illegal you can contract to do anything you want any way you want.

My opinion only DYOR
FF

If the agenda of the upcoming Edge Impulse "Imagine 2022" conference on 28-30 Sept is anything to go by, we should be pretty excited of what's to come out of EI. Looks like they're really backing BRN.

- 2x Brainchip presentations over the first 2 days.
- Brainchip looks to be opening the 2nd day

Quality list of companies presenting also.

RISC-V based ASSP Offered in Collaboration with Ecosystem Partners Delivers Complete, Production-Ready Motor Control System Solution
September 8, 2022
RISC-V ASSP for Motor Control
TOKYO, Japan ― Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today introduced the industry’s first RISC-V MCU specifically optimized for advanced motor control systems. The new solution enables customers to benefit from a ready-to-use, turnkey solution for motor control applications, with no development cost. Customers benefit from reduced time to market and cost reductions with the delivery of a pre-programmed ASSP that eliminates RISC-V related tools and software investment. Target applications for the new solution include home/building automation, healthcare devices, home appliances, drones and more.
Renesas has taken a leadership role in delivering RISC-V embedded processing solutions, having recently introduced the 64-bit general-purpose RZ/Five MPUs based on a 64-bit RISC-V CPU, and announcing development of RISC-V automotive solutions, as well.
“As the leading embedded processing provider, Renesas delivers the solutions our customers demand across any number of platforms” said Roger Wendelken, Senior Vice President in Renesas’ IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit. “This RISC-V-based ASSP offers an optimum combination of low cost, quick time-to-market, and outstanding performance. It complements our current portfolio nicely, reaching out to new customers and emerging markets across the globe.”

Optimized Solution in Collaboration with Global Partners​

Renesas’ new R9A02G020 motor control ASSP is based on RISC-V processing IP from Andes Technology Corp. Franklin Lin, CEO of Andes, said, “We are thrilled to have Andes' entry-level RISC-V processor IP providing computing power in Renesas' R9A02G020 MCU ASSP. We believe Renesas making a powerful, low-power MCU ASSP available to the market will accelerate the incorporation of RISC-V in a broad array of applications. It will also encourage software developers to produce more creative and efficient applications for RISC-V, thus speeding up adoption of this next generation paradigm.”
Renesas will deliver the new RISC-V ASSP pre-programmed with specialized application code developed by leading Independent Design Houses (IDHs) BFG Engineering and DigiPower (HK) Technology Ltd. Both BFG and DigiPower have specialized expertise in the motor control field and proven customer support capability. BFG is famous for sensor-less algorithms that allow customers to reduce motor start-up times. DigiPower has been creating cost-optimized, scalable motor drive solutions since 2008 and has designed specific solutions for control of refrigerator compressors, fans, pumps and more. Both BFG and DigiPower will work with customers to finalize designs and aid the transition to production.
SEGGER Microcontroller GmbH has also partnered in this effort. The complete SEGGER ecosystem, including Embedded Studio and J-Link, was a key element used to create and test these motor control solutions.

Nope.. Not a flying chance..

Things like "Rich analog IP functionality" don't sound like the sweet ring of AKIDAs bell, which is digital..

There's nothing in there, that has even a whiff of AKIDA, to my well trained nose (which is admittedly not trained to smell tech )..

Renesas, makes oodles of products..

The photo brings back some great memories. 5 of us were partners in a ski boat. When we all went bush with our partners/mates for the weekend to our favourite dam, we'd pre-order a lamb from the nearest town butcher. We used a 44 gallon drum cut in half on a frame which we'd fill full of wood to build up the coals. I owned the chain saw so I'd find a fallen tree outside the camping area to cut up for wood. Thankfully there were permanent caravan spots on site with power outlets so we'd join 2 x 25m heavy duty extension cords on a real to plugin the spit from our camping spot. I also took along my jetski. To be young and carefree again.
