Overview

The Arm Mali-C55 image signal processor (ISP) is designed to support IoT and embedded applications where energy-efficient, high-quality image output is required, such as smart cameras for consumer and commercial security, hobby drones, and entry-level AR.

Mali-C55 delivers upgraded image quality features with higher throughput, lower power consumption, and a significantly smaller silicon footprint than its predecessor. Mali-C55 brings high-performance image signal processing to battery powered devices, and enhanced performance to wired devices and established camera systems.

Mali-C55 enables new levels of on-device processing as the output from the ISP can be sent directly to the ML accelerator. ML accelerators can take advantage of neural networks for denoising techniques to further enhance image quality.

The Mali-C55 ISP is a complete solution that includes hardware IP, software drivers, 3A libraries (auto-exposure, auto-white balance, auto-focus), and a full set of tuning and calibration tools. Mali-C55 ISP will be available with Arm Total Solutions for IoT in the future.

eUSB2V2 with 4.8Gbps and Use Cases: A Comprehensive Overview

When developing system-on-chip (SoC) solutions, the key features often minimize size, maximize performance, and achieve low power consumption while decreasing costs. These requirements are true for most industries, including AI-powered consumer devices, energy-intensive data centers, cloud-based enterprise systems, and smart autonomous vehicles.

SOC Virtual Prototyping: An Approach towards fast System-On-Chip Solution

In this paper, we discuss the Transaction Level Model which is being developed to act as Virtual Prototype in digital image processors designed to fit into mobile applications. As part of our developments new methodology TLMdevice is also defined which provides way to connect TLM simulations to communicate with not only virtual host devices such as Graphical window, Keyboards but also real host devices like UART, Display and Sensors, so that data can be easily sent and received to/from during TLM simulation run
