The platform features:

  • Convolutional neural network (CNN) / deep learning (DNN) HW acceleration

  • 4K@60 H.264 / H.265 recording performance

  • WiFi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity

  • SD card and Micro-USB slots

  • HDMI, Ethernet, USB, LCD, battery operation, audio codec IC, GNSS and other peripherals available with customized Carrier board

Rhonda SOM SDKRhonda SOM SDK

Rhonda SOM is supplied with flexible MVP FW which supports the major scenarios and is highly configurable. However, since the single FW would not meet all of the possible requirements for all customers, Rhonda is introducing the Rhonda SOM SDK.

  • SOM SDK allows extending the standard implementation with custom logic, providing controls to all camera functions
  • SOM SDK allows focusing on user-level features without needing to dig into low-level HW programming
  • SOM SDK is SOM agnostic – an Application written for one SOM model will work on other SOM model (in case it supports all of the required camera features)

SOM SDK contains 2 main parts:

 

SDK ON LINUX PC:

  • Easy installation on any Linux workstation
  • Handles environment setup and tool chain setup for cross-compilation
  • Allows integrating custom packages and 3rd party libraries
  • Handles all dependencies
  • Generates a single file with the Customer’s application

RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT ON SOM:

  • Launches a containerized application on target device using process isolation mechanisms provided by Linux kernel
  • Execution in sandbox, reducing risk of system failures

ADAS Fleet Camera EVK

Smart automotive camera prototype for fleet monitoring product development

  • Based on Rhonda CV25 Reference Design
  • Integrated AI for front-view ADAS
  • Vehicles and pedestrians detection
  • Real-time audio warnings to driver
  • External GPS/GLONASS module
  • Connectivity through mobile Wi-Fi hotspot or USB LTE modem
  • Full HD road event video recording with auto uploads to Video Cloud
  • Local Wi-Fi video streaming for camera installation
  • Mobile App for Video Cloud access
  • Camera housing with 1/4” screw for installation with off-the-shelf in-car mounts
