| | 3 | The Gateworks Venice SBCs that are using the i.MX8M Plus processors have a built in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for machine learning. |
| | 4 | * All GW74xx use the i.MX8M Plus processor |
| | 5 | * Any GW71xx, GW72xx and GW73xx using a GW702x SOM module will use the i.MX8M Plus processor |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | The NPU operatines up to 2.25 TOPS. |

| | 9 | NXP uses the term eIQ, which is 'edge intelligence'. NXP has a eIQ ML software environment for neural networks (NN). |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | With eIQ, there are 4 inference engines – OpenCV, Arm® NN, Arm CMSIS-NN and TensorFlow Lite |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | Some of the default NXP Yocto software has examples in the directory /usr/bin/tensorflow-lite-2.4.0/examples |
