Alif Semiconductor is revolutionizing the way developers create products using secure AI/ML-enabled 32-bit microcontrollers.

Future of intelligent machines

Alif Semiconductor Software

Alif Semiconductor is the industry-leading supplier of the next-generation Ensemble family of 32-bit AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning) microcontrollers and fusion processors. Alif Ensemble is the only choice for power efficient microcontrollers that can handle heavy AI and ML workloads, without draining a device’s battery life.

The software here is delivered by Alif Semiconductor as part of the Software Development Kit (SDK). The SDK includes supported Boards/Kits, Bare Metal Drivers, RTOS, Applications and Guides. Listed below are the contents of the SDK with relevant links and references to other documentation.

Note

For Zephyr development on Alif Devices, users MUST start with the Alif Zephyr SDK User Guide in the sdk_alif repository.

Caution

Please note that the main branch for the public Zephyr repositories is now tracking the ZAS 2.0.x development work based on Zephyer kernel version 4.1. This is NOT backwards compatible to the Zephyr kernel 3.6 which is what ZAS 1.x was based on. Unless you are using E8/E4/E6/E1C/B1 devices there is no need to move to the new kernel. The old main which was tracking ZAS 1.x is now branched to v1.5-zas-branch. For Zephyr migration guide from 3.x kernel to 4.x kernel please refer to Migration guide to Zephyr v4.0.0.

Caution

CMSIS DFP for Alif Devices has been updated to version 2.x. This is not backwards compatible with the previous 1.x release. Please refer to the CMSIS DFP 2.0 Migration Guide Application Note for guidelines to migrate existing projects.
