SiFive and CEVA announced that CEVA-BX audio DSPs, CEVA-XM vision chips, and up to 12.5-TOPS NeuPro AI processors will be added to SiFive's DesignShare program, enabling customers to create custom "Edge AI SoCs" built around SiFive's RISC-V CPUs.

CEVA has partnered with RISC-V chip designer and manufacturer SiFive to help bolster its DesignShare program with IP from several of its proprietary DSPs and NPUs. The two companies are collaborating to help customers design and manufacture customized, "ultra-low-power domain-specific" Edge AI SoCs that combine SiFive's RISC-V CPUs and CEVA's coprocessors. CEVA is also contributing its CDNN Deep Neural Network machine learning software compiler.

Edge AI SoCs are especially suitable for "on-device neural networks inferencing supporting imaging, computer vision, speech recognition and sensor fusion." Initial applications include smart home, automotive, robotics, security and surveillance, augmented reality, industrial, and IoT.
