Latest additions for innovative voice command and facial recognition projects

Mouser now stocks the i.MX RT106L and i.MX RT106F EdgeReady crossover processors from NXP Semiconductors. The solution-specific edge computing devices rely on an advanced implementation of the Arm Cortex-M7 processing core, supporting up to 600MHz operation. Each device has 1Mbytes of SRAM memory and an array of connectivity options (including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee and Thread). The processors can deliver the next generation functionality required in an increasing proportion of IoT and smart industrial deployments.

The i.MX RT106L device empowers developers to simply and affordably add far-field, local command-based voice control abilities to a variety of IoT, smart retail, and smart industry devices. This processor has all the key functional elements for automatic speech recognition (such as an analogue front-end softDSP, media player and streamer, plus an automatic speech recognition engine for local commands and wake words). It is also combined into the SLN-LOCAL-IOT Solution for Local Voice Control, a wholly integrated hardware and software platform which enables OEMs to swiftly develop products that provide low-latency private voice control.

The NXP i.MX RT106F is optimised for real-time response facial recognition activities. This processor is licensed to run the extensive NXP OASIS run-time library for facial recognition, providing developers access to a suite of beneficial features (including camera drivers, face detection, etc.). Furthermore, the processor serves as the basis for the SLN-VIZN-IOT Solution for Face Recognition. This self-contained, software and hardware package provides out-of-the-box implementation, thereby expediting the time to market for facial recognition products.
