Edge AI chip series

3rd generation [chichibu] (2024~)

Chichibu is designed for full-scale mass production. It features an ARM system CPU along with proprietary engines such as DNN, RISC-V, GPU, GeMM, image processing, digital signal processing, FFT, and more. Additionally, it incorporates H.264, built-in memory, a secure engine, and an ISP, enabling diverse information processing at the edge.

The performance of this chichibu has been recognized, and our company is currently on business development.

2nd generation [beppu] (2021~)

Beppu was developed as an evaluation platform for designing mass-production chips.
The camera module equipped with beppu has successfully operated YOLOv3 (2–3 fps) and OpenPose on battery power.

1st generation [arima] (2019~)

Arima A was developed under a project*¹ by NEDO*². This project has achieved more than 10 times higher power efficiency in AI recognition and image processing compared to conventional general-purpose GPUs.
