There are 1 incomplete or pending task to finish installation of Semantic MediaWiki. An administrator or user with sufficient rights can complete it. This should be done before adding new data to avoid inconsistencies.

1. What is NanoEdge AI Library for extrapolation?

NanoEdge™ AI Library is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) static library originally developed by Cartesiam, for embedded C software running on Arm® Cortex® microcontrollers.

When embedded on microcontrollers, it gives them the ability to easily "predict" target value from sensor patterns, by themselves, without the need for the user to have additional skills in Mathematics, Machine Learning, or data science.

The NanoEdge AI static library for extrapolation is the code that contains an AI model (for example, as a bundle of signal treatment, Machine Learning model, and optimally tuned hyperparameters) designed to estimate / predict a target value from a sensor pattern. The predicted values (target values) used to fit the model are defined by the user in NanoEdge AI Studio (NanoEdgeAIStudio), also called the Studio) and are used during the training process of the AI model.

Info white.png Information
The library is not available in the free version of the Studio.

2. Install / Getting started

The main functions available via the library are:

init() run first before the extrapolation process to load the knowledge
extrapolation() run a regression process for extrapolation, to predict the response (inference)
status() returns the current status of the library

2.1. Static library

The static NanoEdge AI Library is only available via NanoEdge AI Studio in its full version.

  • In NanoEdge AI Studio, after obtaining a library, click Compile (on the "Deploy" screen, which follows the "Optimize and Benchmark" and "Emulator" screens)
  • Open the .zip file obtained
  • Select and copy the static library libneai.a
  • Link this static library to your project code

2.2. NanoEdge AI Library functions

2.2.1. Initialization

enum neai_state neai_extrapolation_init(const float knowledge_buffer[]);

Initialization must be called at the beginning to load the knowledge.

  • Input:
const float knowledge_buffer[], this buffer is defined in the header file knowledge.h provided in the .zip file containing the static NanoEdge AI Library.
  • Output:
0 means success (the knowledge has been loaded), other values mean that loading has failed.
123: the library is being used on a board that is not authorized (only for libraries that are limited to partner/authorized development boards).

For more details on the output of the initialization function, refer to the header file NanoEdgeAI.h provided in the .zip file containing the static NanoEdge AI Library.

2.2.2. Extrapolation

float neai_extrapolation(float input_buffer[]);

This function returns the target extrapolated value.

  • Input:
float input_buffer[], the length of the buffer is DATA_INPUT_USER * AXIS_NUMBER.
  • Output:
The predicted value (floating point).
Warning white.png Warning
NanoEdge AI Library uses float data types instead of int. If you are using intdata types, convert (cast) them into float.

2.2.3. Getting status

enum neai_state neai_extrapolation_status(void);

This function returns the current status of the library.

  • Input: None
  • Output: The status of the library. For more details refer to the header file NanoEdgeAI.h provided in the .zip file containing the static NanoEdge AI Library.

2.3. Example "Hello World!"

Header files:

NanoEdgeAI.h and knowledge.h (provided in the .zip file that you download by clicking Compile in NanoEdge AI Studio (on the "Deploy" screen after obtaining a library)

Example of NanoEdge AI Library header file:

Warning DB.png Important
  • The input buffer collected from your sensor is already declared in the header file NanoEdgeAI.h, float input_user_buffer[DATA_INPUT_USER * AXIS_NUMBER];, feel free to comment this line, and then rename and declare your input buffer in the main program.
  • The knowledge buffer knowledge is declared in the header file knowledge.h.
