Arnold-SDK release 1.2.0

Updates to the person-detect example to incorporate a HiMAX low power image sensor. The default is to not use fpga acceleration or the camera unless the USE_UART define is enabled in the person_detection.cc source file. USE_UART requires the execution of the tflu-apps/uart/fpga_load.py script to load the fpga and display camera images over the UART.

The UART baud rate has been defaulted to 460800. when running the fpga_load.py, use the /dev/ttyUSBx 460800 options

A new directory (Docs) has been included which contains some useful documentation on the Arnold device and the ArcticPro2 efpga.

Arnold SDK v1.1.0 Release

Adding additional functionality and fixes to initial Release

• Added patched Makefile for removing -O3 option on plpbridge compilation -- allows plpbridge on ubuntu 20.04 to operate
• Added full hardware Acceleration to person-detection-test (requires addition on USE_UART define to enable)
• Added ability to run any individual 2d Convolution in the Hardware Standalone application.
• Added eFPGA bitstream that has timing closure at 75 MHz. (bitstream is in flu-apps/uart)

Arnold SDK v1.0.0 Release

This initial release for Arnold SDK includes examples for

• Person Detection  
• Accelerated convolution using eFPGA
