Thank you all for your interest in GAP8. This processor aims at very low power consumption while delivering enough computing power for content understanding and wireless modem (NB-IoT, 802.15.4g-OFDM, Weightless-P,…) in the context of IoT.
We see IoT use cases becoming much richer in the future. For example, we have many request for snapping a low resolution picture and classifying the resulting image in the device, before uploading the result over a low data rate wireless connection. Or to count objects. There are also very interesting use cases based on sound and motion, in the machine health monitoring space in particular.<p>We plan to achieve years of autonomy on a typical IoT battery with events frequency in the few minutes range.<p>We expect to get our chip back from the fab in the second half of July and to be able to deliver our first Gapuino boards in September. It will come with an ISM RF shield and a sensors shield.<p>Please let us know if you'd like more info.
This sounds way too good to be true.<p>- 8 core RISC-V w/DSP<p>- Hardware Convolution Unit<p>- RTC<p>- SDR!?<p>- Ultra low power<p>- Low cost<p>- Lots of libraries<p>I hope this is real, but I'll believe it when you can buy it.
I've wondered for a while. What would you do with IoT ? The only applications that are somewhat desirable I've seen so far are wifi lightbulbs.<p>Given that LEDs are getting pretty hard to beat, both on price and possibilities, when it comes to lighting design and usually come with some sort of remote control, it's almost becoming the default.<p>But aside from that, what would you do ? Remote control doorknobs were popular for a while but didn't last at all. Anything else ?
It seems smoke, it mentions that there is available boards but no clear way to buy/order.<p>It seems funded by public money and needs to show something to justify it.
