Custom edge AI hardware has long been out of reach for all but the products that sell tens of millions of units—limited by high costs, long timelines, and rigid off-the-shelf hardware. With Frigate - most advanced SoC chip template, we are changing that. Frigate provides a ready-to-use RISC-V SoC with rich digital and analog peripherals, coupled with a large blank silicon area where edge AI/ML system developers can integrate their own custom HW accelerators for application-specific ML models.
