Movidius appears to have a much more complete development kit for the Myriad 2 chip - the Myriad Development Kit. Where can I get hold of this? Does it come with some other evaluation board? Can it be used for working witht the Neural Compute Stick?

 

For info, the Movidius_MDK_Product_Brief.pdf document lists the following impressive list.

 

MDK TOOLS

 

• Integrated toolchain for SHAVE processors and RISC CPUs

 

• Vector optimizing compiler for SHAVE processors

 

supports C/C++ with extensive intrinsic support

 

• Assembler and Assembly optimizer

 

• GCC toolchain for RISC CPUs

 

• Standard ELF/DWARF Linker

 

• Myriad 2 Full Chip Simulator, bit-accurate and cycle- accurate

 

• Myriad 2 debugger supporting SHAVE and CPU cores,with TCL command line

 

• Function Trace Profiler, Sampling Profiler, and System

 

Trace Profiler

 

• Movidius Eclipse IDE supports full compile-profile-debug flow with application Graph Designer framework and integrated memory visualizer and image comparer

 

MDK CAMERA DEVELOPMENT KIT

 

• Unified Multi-camera Framework and component control, adaptable to different sensors

 

• Flexible ISP pipelines and scalable architecture

 

• Robust auto-functions – exposure, white balance,

• Camera calibration and sensor tuning tools

 

MDK LIBRARIES

 

• Over 300 Computer Vision Library kernels such as:

 

• Bitwise logical functions

 

• Boxfilters of various sizes

 

• Convolutions, convSeparable of different sizes

 

• AbsoluteDiff, Canny, AccumulateSquare/Weighted, and other functions

 

• CensusMatching

 

• CornerMinEigenVal

 

• Color conversions

 

• Dilate and Erodes of different sizes

 

• Gauss, Laplacian/sLaplacian

 

• HarrisResponse

 

• Histogram

 

• IntegralImage

 

• Maximum, maxPool, minKernel, minMax

 

• medianFilter of various sizes

 

• OpticalFlow PyrLK

 

• sumOfAbsDiff, sumOfSquaredDiff

 

• threshold filters

 

• whiteBalance functions

 

• Linear Algebra Library

 

• SGEMM matrix multiply

 

• Other BLIS functions

 

• ISP Library

I would also be interested in running the MDK on my NCS.

MDK is build for the reference design kits rather than the NCS.

Is the MDK platform available for purchase?

 

How can one start to work with MDK?

The Myriad Development Kit is meant for customer purchases in large volume. Please visit the Movidius Contact site for non-NCS related inquiries.

Why not release it like ncsdk……..and let movidius grow !! ( since intel sells the hardware it seems pretty safe …and free work from the community )

 

Or..wait for another company to take lead….. ;)

Wait a second - you advertise the MDK and sell the device, but the device is a brick unless you're a large company, presumably with a huge amount of money? Don't you think that's a bit reprehensible?
