Advanced Usage of KNEO Pi SDK

For advanced developers seeking to fully leverage KNEO Pi’s capabilities, additional tools and resources are available, allowing for comprehensive control over hardware and enhanced AI functionality. Below is an overview of the advanced features and documentation available.

Full-Function SDK

KNEO Pi offers a Full-Function SDK tailored for users who need complete access to the main chip of KNEO Pi. This SDK enables advanced control over all Intellectual Property (IP) blocks within the SoC, making it ideal for highly customized and optimiazed applications.

Important

The Full-Function SDK is not included with the standard KNEO Pi package and is available separately. For pricing and licensing information, please email us . Access to the SDK is granted upon approval and is subject to additional costs.

Model Compiler for NPU-Compatible AI Models

To run an AI model on KNEO Pi, the Model Compiler is required to compile models into a format compatible with the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). This tool prepares and optimizes AI models, ensuring efficient execution on the KNEO Pi hardware.

Info

Refer to Kneron Document Center-model compiler for details on usage and model preparation.

PLUS Library for External AI Dongle Control

For users needing to integrate external Kneron AI dongles with KNEO Pi, the optional PLUS Library offers robust control options, enabling seamless communication with compatible AI hardware. This library provides a convenient way to expand KNEO Pi’s AI processing capabilities by connecting external inference units.
