Check Out the Latest on Edge Microvisor Toolkit

[stevenhoenisch]

The latest release of Edge Microvisor Toolkit helps builders and devops engineers assess edge AI deployment scenarios on Intel processors and to ensure that they can take advantage of the latest hardware capabilities.

As a reference Linux operating system, Edge Microvisor Toolkit demonstrates the full capabilities of Intel processors for Edge AI workloads through Linux patches from Intel that are yet to be upstreamed, and you can, for instance, see some of those Linux patches for GPU and NPU support in the toolkit's SPEC file.

• Check out the release announcement or the release notes to see the changes, enhancements, and the latest CVE fixes.

Another way to deploy a version of Edge Microvisor Toolkit for a benchmarking effort is to use the newly released OS Image Composer and one of its many image templates, including templates for generating versions for use with another component of Open Edge Platform: Edge Manageability Framework. Find out more at https://github.com/open-edge-platform/os-image-composer.

• Get the latest weekly release of the RAW image for the real-time or non-RT Developer Node. Its latest weekly release is posted in GitHub Discussions under 📣 announcements.

• Build the immutable Standalone Node.

• Build your own custom mutable or immutable version by selecting a predefined JSON image configuration file and a package list file that determine the image's properties and capabilities. In addition, you can create your own image configuration file and package list to build exactly the version that you want -- a powerful approach to customizing a Linux operating system to validate your edge AI workload on Intel processors.

For help installing and configuring a version of Edge Microvisor Toolkit, see the the documentation website.

Edge Microvisor Toolkit is an optional component of Open Edge Platform. To find out more about the latest release of the platform, check out our blog post on Medium, replete with holiday cheer. 🎉
