Texas Instruments Introduces Visual Software Development Kit (SDK) to Create More Efficient ADAS Applications

Texas Instruments (TI) today announced the launch of the Vision Software Development Kit (SDK), which provides developers with a flexible framework, a comprehensive set of hardware device drivers and a set of applicable development tools to help users rely on TI The profiled architecture creates a more efficient Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) implementation. The TI Vision SDK based on TI SYS/BIOS RTOS is capable of running multiple algorithms in parallel on a wide variety of heterogeneous cores and makes it easier to integrate new features into the system. In addition, a rich set of debug and meter measurement features allow algorithm developers to benchmark and characterize their algorithms in a system environment.

In addition, TI offers libraries for its Embedded Vision Engine (EVE) and Digital Signal Processor (DSP) on the TDA2x System-on-Chip (SoC). These libraries contain more than 200 optimizations for EVE and DSP libraries, providing customers and third parties with the tools to achieve leapfrog development and speed time-to-market. EVE and DSP libraries are available for low- and medium-level visual processing. At the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2014), TI conducted a surround view demonstration and a real-time demonstration of the industry's first 1080p60 dense optical stream built with EVE and DSP libraries.

TI's TDA2x series

The TDA2x, with its innovative Vision AccelerationPac, combines high performance, visual analytics, video, graphics and general purpose processing cores in a low-power package for a wide range of ADAS applications from entry-level to high-performance. In addition, TI's unique Vision AccelerationPac delivers more than 8x computing performance at the same power budget, enabling advanced visual analysis at a lower cost. Based on TI's extensive algorithm knowledge and designed to meet the dynamic needs of the ADAS market, Vision AccelerationPac includes one or more Embedded Vision Engines (EVE) that are not available on the market today. A special ADAS accelerator.

Robust third-party ecosystem

The growth of TI SoC and software product libraries has prompted more and more ADAS third-party vendors from around the world to provide algorithms, services and integration support across TI's broad product line, enabling customers to reduce internal investment and development time and accelerate Product launch process. Many vendors in this third-party ecosystem use TI's ADAS processors and are extremely pleased with the release of the latest TDA2x products:

Michael Stoecker, Director of R&D at ADASENS Automotive GmbH, said: "TI's EVE provides impressive performance for many ADAS machine vision algorithms, such as identifying traffic signals, vehicles or pedestrians and buildings based on motion."

René Röllig, senior project manager at IAV Automotive Engineering, said: "The combination of the TDA2x SoC and the SDK enables us to develop the next generation of ADAS systems to meet the ever-increasing performance and performance requirements of camera-based vision systems. TI's ecosystem allows us Algorithms and applications can be implemented efficiently, which was previously impossible. The new EVE is a powerful partner accelerator that operates independently of DSP and DSP. It is in our target application. Demonstrating its comprehensive performance, especially for frame-based image processing. Development tools, libraries and documentation are up-to-date, and because of their high quality, our engineers like to use these tools."

Regu Ayyaswamy, Global Director of Engineering and Industrial Services at TCS, said: "With deep technical and automotive expertise, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is a global automotive OEM and automotive zero on TI's ADAS SoC (including the latest TDA2x). Tier 1 suppliers offer optimization, integration services and algorithms. TI is our strategic partner in the development of ADAS solutions and we look forward to continually developing the solutions that are most needed in the market."

Felix Eberli, Head of Embedded and Automotive Products at Supercomputing Systems AG, said: "I am excited by the dramatic jump in performance of each generation of TI ADAS SoC. It has proven that this is for our first-tier suppliers and OEMs of different automotive components. A large number of ADAS algorithms ported to TI SoCs are beneficial. A key differentiating factor is the energy-efficient EVE core with high throughput and zero-overhead background data transfer characteristics."

Dr. Chao-Jung Chen, President of CSSP Inc., said: "TI has been providing the industry's best SoC for the ADAS field, enabling our team to develop production quality ADAS algorithms on TI's SoC platform for TI customers. For example, lane departure warnings, front collision warnings, and blind spot detection. In the future, we will be working to provide our latest algorithms on TI's next-generation TDA2x platform to enable multiple functions with a single chip."
