Featured Demos


DemoDescription
Rain-Triggered Greenhouse Automation

Uses capacitive touch and liquid detection to trigger motor-driven actions when rain is detected. Powered by the PIC32CM microcontroller (MCU) and MTCH9010 Integrated Circuit (IC), and running on Zephyr® Real-Time Opeating System (RTOS), this demo highlights scalable, reliable solutions for smart agriculture and green infrastructure.

Smart Home Automation

A smart home system powered by edge AI, featuring keyword spotting and facial recognition. Built using our Graphics Library, it enables control of household devices and real-time alerts from door and window sensors.

SDI-to-HDMI Cross-Converter on PolarFire® FPGAsDemonstrates a high-performance Serial Digital Interface (SDI)-to-High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) solution supporting dynamic rate switching and embedded audio from 1.5G to 12G. Built on PolarFire® FPGAs, it delivers efficient, compact, fan-less performance for broadcast, Pro AV and display applications.  
E-Gate Demo with MPU-Based Facial RecognitionA secure, contactless access control system using facial recognition with liveness detection. Running on the SAMA7D65 MPU, it performs local AI inference for fast, reliable identification while helping prevent spoofing attempts.
Resilient Industrial Networking with TSNShowcases industrial Ethernet resilience, TSN-ready infrastructure and Information Technology/Operational Technology (IT/OT) convergence. Demonstrates Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and redundancy working together, with optional Precision Time Protocol support via the TC4500.
