VeriSilicon (688521.SH) today announced the integration of the Image Signal Processor (ISP) ISP8000 IP, the DeWarp Processor DW200 IP, and the 2.5D Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) GCNanoV IP into the Canaan K230 chip, the world’s first mass commercial production edge AIoT chip that supports the RISC-V Vector 1.0 standard. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in high-precision, low-latency edge AIoT solutions for a wide range of smart products, such as multimodal and large-model input edge terminals, 3D-structured light perception modules, interactive robots, open source hardware, as well as hardware for smart manufacturing, smart home solutions, and AI education.
VeriSilicon’s ISP8000 is capable of processing three or more high-definition video streams in real time. Its 20-bit deep pipeline architecture supports advanced image processing algorithms such as triple-exposure High Dynamic Range (HDR) and 3D Noise Reduction (3DNR). The ISP8000’s optimized software collaborates seamlessly with RISC-V processors to efficiently manage and schedule system resources. On the K230 chip, taking advantage of the RT-Thread real-time operating system and the performance and power advantages of RISC-V processors, the ISP8000 can realize real-time scheduling and efficiently run software under a dual-core processor architecture. It is perfectly compatible with the K230 Software Development Kit (SDK), supporting RTOS and Linux dual operating systems, achieving an optimal balance between real-time and non-real-time operations.
VeriSilicon’s DW200 IP not only accurately corrects distortions in wide-angle or fisheye lenses, but also supports multi-channel downscaling output via low-bandwidth direct link mode, enriching the application scenarios of user and is particularly suitable for AI applications with diverse spatial output requirements. For MCU/MPU devices, VeriSilicon’s low-power 2.5D GPU IP delivers high-performance, high-quality vector graphics processing capabilities and superior image output.
Hong-Gang Wang, Vice President (VP) of Research and Development at Canaan, said: “Leveraging VeriSilicon’s advanced portfolio of pixel processing IPs, our RISC-V-based K230 achieved benchmark-leading performance and image quality. with other edge AIoT SoCs in its class. This enables more edge device manufacturers to develop innovative products with broader market applications. VeriSilicon’s ISP is a key driver of innovation in our edge AIoT SoCs.”
“RISC-V is increasingly important in embedded products. We have partnered with all major RISC-V CPU IP vendors to ensure that our comprehensive portfolio of Glass-to-Glass intelligent pixel processing IP (from camera input to display output) collaborates seamlessly and efficiently with existing architectures. RISC-V,” said Wei-Jin Dai, executive vice president and general manager (GM) of VeriSilicon’s IP Division. “Through our close collaboration with Canaan, the K230 edge AIoT SoC achieved high image quality while maintaining low power consumption and latency. Additionally, the K230 can support multiple sensors by leveraging the advanced multi-context management (MCM) feature of the ISP8000, further increasing its competitiveness in the market.”
