AM625: Inquiry Regarding Processor Selection for Image Capture and Transmission Application

Aman Kuntal
Prodigy 155 points
Part Number: AM625
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM623, AM62A3, AM62A7

Our application involves a processor tasked with capturing images upon motion detection, validating human motion, storing the images in an SD card, transmitting them to another module via RF interface, and sending data to a server using an LTE module. Additionally, there is a requirement for a display module capable of listing and displaying these images.

We kindly request your assistance in providing detailed information regarding the capabilities of both Processors concerning the following criteria:

Image Capture and Processing:

Ability to capture images upon motion detection and validate human motion effectively.

Storage and Transmission:

Support for storing captured images in an SD card, transmitting them to another module via RF interface, and facilitating data transfer to a server using an LTE module.

*SDK Support:

Availability and functionalities of Software Development Kits (SDKs) for seamless integration and development.

Power Consumption:
Individual power consumption profiles for each module in relation to the aforementioned functionalities.

The power consumption includes “Motion sensors, IR sensors, Night vision sensor, RF Transceivers, Display and LTE Module”. What might be the maximum power and Current consumption criteria for above processors with the mentioned modules?

We seek comprehensive insights into these aspects to make an informed decision aligning with the specific needs of our application. Additionally, any technical documentation, support materials, or roadmap insights would be immensely valuable in our evaluation process.

    Dear customer, 

    Thanks for your question!

    Based on the functions you described here, may I ask a few questions regarding to your target spec for the device:

    1> Camera interface - is CSI camera preferred or parallel one? or USB Camera needed?

    2> SD/EMMC interfaces support. 

    3> RF interface support -> is it UART?

    4> LTE module -> is it USB 2.0 or USB 3.0?

    5> Display -> is it RGB888 display panel?

    Regarding to the SDK support - usually the SDK contains all the device peripherals drivers.

    Power consumption, our 16nm device usually has great power efficiency can be the best choice. 

    B.R.

    Steven.

    Hi Steven,

    Thanks for your prompt response and willingness to assist me with my inquiries regarding AM625 MPU,

    1> Camera interface - is CSI camera preferred or parallel one? or USB Camera needed?

    Ans. Camera Interface-  planning for MIPI CSI camera.

    2> SD/EMMC interfaces support. 

    Ans. We need SD interface support.

    3> RF interface support -> is it UART?

    Ans. RF Interface support- SPI interface

    4> LTE module -> is it USB 2.0 or USB 3.0?

    Ans. LTE Module- UART interface

    5> Display -> is it RGB888 display panel?

    Ans. Display- We are expecting support for the display with Graphics (to display all the available files from the SD card)

    Steven, if possible can we please have a discussion meet over skype, such that we can explain better from our side.

    Thanks

    Aman

    Hi Aman, 

    According to your feedback, I'd recommend you to check below two options:

    1. AM623: https://www.ti.com/product/AM623

    2. AM62A3:https://www.ti.com/product/AM62A3 or AM62A7 https://www.ti.com/product/AM62A7

    Both of them can support the spec requirement. 

    The differentiation are AM623 is using ARM for the motion analysis algorithm, while AM62A3/7 is using the AI accelerator (DSP) for the algorithm implementation, which will provide much higher AI performance benefit real time analysis. AM62A3 is 1 TOP device vs AM62A7 is 2 TOPs.

    Depending on your current motion analysis implementation, you may want to make the choice between ARM and AI accelerator first, then decide where you'd like to further evaluate. 

    B.R.

    Steven.

    Hi Steven,

    Can we know what's the exact difference between AM62A3 and AM62A7. We would like to go with AM62A3 processor.

    We would like to know exact or approximate power consumption with aforementioned applications.

    If possible can we have a meeting at your convenient time!

    Thanks

    Aman

    Hi Steven
    When can we expect the update from AM62A team lead. As we are eagerly waiting to start the project and planning to complete the work soon, can you please respond sporadically.

    Thanks
