Altera and Critical Link launch FPGA platform for edge AI using NVIDIA GPUs

Critical Link announced the Holoscan Sensor Bridge with MitySOM-A5E, which was developed in collaboration with Altera. This platform is a low-latency, FPGA-based interface designed for edge applications such as robotics and medical imaging. It combines data from various sensors and delivers it to NVIDIA GPUs for AI processing.

The platform utilizes Altera's Agilex 5 SoC FPGA E-Series to combine deterministic sensor processing with AI compute. This integration provides an off-the-shelf solution for complex sensor fusion problems in safety-critical designs. The achievement validates the use of FPGA technology in the high-growth Edge AI market.
