T33 TAURUS Evaluation kit
T33_TAURUS is an AIoT application development kit based on the QFN96 package of T33, T33VN to be precise. T33 has a Starlight Enhancement level ISP and a variety of peripheral interfaces. The T33_TAURUS development kit helps customers to speed up their product development, it consists of development boards or modules (core module, serial board and sensor board), an operating system and a SDK package. With an Ingenic's SoC T33 as the processor, the kit is featured with high performance compute capacity, realtime controller, large-volume on chip memory, a variety of multimedia processing ability as well as Megabit Ethernet networking and other connectivity options. The target applications are portable/mobile home monitoring camera, battery-powered camera with fastboot feature or full-time recording feature (Ex: doorbell, hunting camera), etc...
T33 TAURUS can be used as reference for design, evaluation and POC easily. The development resources include the Hardware Development Kit, Software Development Kit, documentation and some programming tools. The core module is useful for R&D, and it is available as a standalone demo..

APPLICATION/SOLUTIONS
• Solutions that need fast boot feature: The system on this demo is implemented to get normal frames ready before accessing the file system. In ideal scenarios, the frames will be ready in around 200ms.
• Solutions that need to save as much power as possible: Systems that run on battery need to power off as many unnecessary modules as possible. T33 can be powered off, then powered on according to the system’s trigger/event.
• Battery Camera/ Mobile home monitoring camera: Such cameras are mostly in sleep mode, they wake up when an event happens, they usually connect to network via wireless. Ex: Doorbell Camera, Hunting Camera, Portable Indoor/Outdoor Camera.
• Edge Deep Learning: Customers can have access to an AI platform (Magik Toolkit) and prebuilt algorithms (ADK) to help reduce the development time. These resources are not part of the SDK (Software Development Kit), but they can be released to customers under request.
• AI platform (Magik Toolkit): Customers can use the AI platform to tune algorithms to work better in their application according to their requirements. To work with Magik, the customer should have considerable AI experience. Otherwise, a third-party design house or ODM is recommended.
• Algorithm Development Kit (ADK): They are referred to as ADK (Algorithm Development Kit). The SDK and ADK can be combined to work on solutions, such as: Detection solutions - Human body detection, vehicle detection, human face detection, motion detection etc.; Recognition solutions - Plate recognition, facial recognition etc...
• Atlas function: new generation of all-time wireless camera solutions. Based on Atlas, ultra-low power alltime recording: Always on video (AOV) can be achieved, with devices typically lasting 2-6 months on standby. Combined with 4G networks and solar power, it can achieve all-time self-powered pure wireless cameras, applicable to most outdoor scenarios. Additionally, Atlas features fast boot + AI capabilities, suitable for nextgeneration pan-biometric products such as facial locks and palm vein locks.
