Was just reading through the discussion and having a dive into Renesas products.
Posting the below to see your thoughts and whether my logic holds any water.
We know that Chittipeddi said.
“At the very low end, we have added an ARM M33 MCU and spiking neural network with BrainChip core licensed for selected applications – we have licensed what we need to license from BrainChip including the software to get the ball rolling.”
I found this Feb 22 article from Semi Engineering that I've snipped a section from that may have some relevance.
We know they use DRP-AI but he also said they have Akida core plus software...IP?

Now the V2L is "entry level" plus specifically says can be used for inferencing where no mention of that function with the V2M. Not to say that can't but find the distinction interesting.
Application targets fin nicely in Akida capabilities without a stretch.

When we look at the block diagrams between the two products can see a specific difference with the V2L having the M33. Why? We know that is a target for Akida so maybe?

Also been a range of update packages released from Jan this year to June relating to the M33, OS, DRP-AI on the V2L
So my question is whether Reneseas has slipped Akida functions into this board / DRP-AI or whether what I'm thinking is off track?
Personally think we may be in V2L.
