ST Dev conference demonstration showing how to update a deep learning model on STM32MP1

The STM32MP1 is a general-purpose microprocessor. It is now popular for a variety of IoT projects. Among its advantages are its flexible architecture, its power efficiency, and its support for a variety of operating systems and open-source software. It has a wide variety of connectivity options and the capacity to support data processing on the microprocessor. This capacity to support Edge AI projects and both machine and deep learning software – including increasingly popular Tiny ML projects – makes it an attractive choice for the Witekio team and this demonstration.

Thanks to Witekio’s open-source FullMetalUpdate, the fear of a bricked device after a software update is no more. At the last ST dev Conference virtual, last October, Cédric Vincent, Witekio’s director of technology and embedded Software Engineer Antonin Godard demonstrated how to use FullMetalUpdate to update a deep learning model on an STM32MP1 microprocessor – here’s how it was done.

A patient monitoring scenario with STM32MP1 running Android 9 Pie and Qt 5 embedded application

Our software engineers have built a demo to show what STMicroelectronics’ STM32MP1 can do in a realistic patient monitoring scenario in real life in the medical field. This real patient monitoring solution demo shows a medical application with STM32MP1, running Android 9 Pie and Qt 5 application. It allows monitoring of pulse, temperature, and electrocardiogram through sensors. Results are displayed in real-time on an HMI using Qt 5.

Witekio experts ported Android 9.0 Pie for STM32MP1

Witekio has a +18-year history of experience in developing board support packages and low-level software layers for the semiconductors and hardware makers industry. Our software engineers have become experts in developing and customizing software for many types of hardware platforms. As an STMicroelectronics partner, Witekio’s team of software experts are deeply involved and motivated to help customers with their Android 9.0 Pie porting or any other software development challenges for the STM32MP1.
