The demonstration utilized Microchip’s Ampulse toolset to develop a custom machine learning model capable of detecting trucks within the loading bay. Each detected truck was represented by a blue point on the display, turning the corresponding spot red when a truck occupied it, thereby providing an intuitive visualization of the monitoring system’s functionality.
In addition to the truck loading bay monitoring demo, Microchip’s booth featured various other interactive exhibits. Notably, a setup incorporating Lego structures and a multitude of sensors showcased the versatility and integration capabilities of Microchip’s embedded solutions in diverse applications.
The SAMA7G54 microprocessor supports up to 2GB of DDR memory and includes interfaces such as dual Ethernet ports (Gigabit and 10/100), multiple CAN-FD channels, and high-speed USB connections. These features make it suitable for industrial and automotive applications requiring robust connectivity and real-time data processing.
Microchip’s commitment to providing comprehensive development support is evident through their SAMA7G54-EK evaluation kit. This kit offers connectors and expansion headers for easy customization, facilitating rapid prototyping and integration into various embedded systems.
The integration of advanced peripherals, such as the MIPI CSI-2 camera interface, allows developers to implement low-power stereo vision applications with enhanced depth perception. This capability is particularly beneficial for applications in machine vision and automation, where accurate environmental mapping is crucial.
Microchip’s participation in Embedded World 2025 underscores their dedication to advancing embedded control solutions. By offering products like the SAMA7G54, they enable developers to create efficient, high-performance applications across various industries, from industrial automation to consumer electronics.
