STMicroelectronics FP-AI-NANOEDG1 software pack

Click2Contact

STMicroelectronics has released a free STM32 software function pack that lets users quickly build, train and deploy intelligent edge devices for industrial condition monitoring using a microcontroller Discovery kit.

Developed in conjunction with Cartesiam, the FP-AI-NANOEDG1 software pack contains all the necessary drivers, middleware, documentation and sample code to capture sensor data, as well as integrate and run Cartesiam’s NanoEdge libraries. Users without specialist AI skills can quickly create and export custom machine-learning libraries for their applications using Cartesiam’s NanoEdge AI Studio tool running on a Windows 10 or Ubuntu PC. The function pack simplifies complete prototyping and validation free of charge on STM32 development boards.

The straightforward methodology established with Cartesiam uses industrial-grade sensors onboard a Discovery kit such as the STM32L562E-DK to capture vibration data from the monitored equipment both in normal operating modes and under induced abnormal conditions. Software to configure and acquire sensor data is included in the function pack. NanoEdge AI Studio analyses the benchmark data and selects pre-compiled algorithms from over 500 million possible combinations to create optimised libraries for training and inference.

The function-pack software provides stubs for the libraries that can be easily replaced for simple embedding in the application. Once deployed, the device can learn the normal pattern of the operating mode locally during the initial installation phase as well as during the lifetime of the equipment, as the function pack permits switching between learning and monitoring modes.
