Introduction of Eagle-N Chiplet
Eagle-N has emerged as a groundbreaking automotive chiplet AI accelerator, developed collaboratively by BOS Semiconductors and Tenstorrent. This innovative product will debut at CES 2025, setting a new standard in automotive technology.
Details of the Eagle-N Chiplet SoC
The Eagle-N, notable for its exceptional performance, incorporates Tenstorrent's advanced Tensix NPU core, specifically designed for automotive applications. This chiplet SoC enhances AI capabilities essential for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and In-vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems.
Performance Metrics
With the ability to deliver up to 250 TOPS of processing performance, the Eagle-N utilizes cutting-edge PCIe gen5 and UCIe high-speed interfaces. These features allow the integration of additional NPUs and AI subsystems, facilitating the development of autonomous driving and immersive in-cabin experiences geared towards enhancing user safety and comfort.
Integration with Existing Technologies
Not only does Eagle-N support a wide variety of ADAS and IVI processors available in the market, but it also allows OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers to seamlessly integrate it atop their current systems. This straightforward implementation helps elevate the AI performance of existing domain computing systems, showcasing the competitive TOPS per dollar and TOPS per watt efficiency of the Eagle-N.
Future Developments with Eagle-A
In conjunction with the introduction of the Eagle-N, BOS is also developing the Eagle-A, a single-chip ADAS SoC. Together, the Eagle-N and Eagle-A comprise the Eagle Chiplet SoC family, addressing various needs in the realms of ADAS and autonomous functionalities.
CEO Insights on the Collaboration
Jaehong Park, the CEO and founder of BOS Semiconductors, expressed his enthusiasm about launching their first automotive SoC product. He emphasized the significance of this development, stating, "The Eagle-N marks the beginning of our Eagle ADAS Chiplet SoC family, aiming to deliver the most cost-effective, high-performance, and low-power AI solutions for the automotive sector alongside Tenstorrent."
Tenstorrent's Role in the Chiplet Ecosystem
Tenstorrent's Tensix Core is an integral part of the chiplet infrastructure, featuring a diverse array of components. These include an array math unit for efficient tensor operations, a SIMD unit catering to vector operations, and a robust Network-on-Chip (NoC) system, facilitating data movement between cores and chips. Furthermore, the architecture contains five "baby RISC-V" processors that expertly manage the NoC, bolstered by up to 1.5MB of SRAM for advanced processing capabilities.
Collaboration Highlights
David Bennett, Chief Commercial Officer of Tenstorrent, praised the partnership, highlighting their strong shared vision for developing SoCs tailored for automotive applications. He noted that the collaboration is timely and critical for the evolving automotive landscape, expressing excitement over incorporating Eagle-N into Tenstorrent's chiplet ecosystem.
