Intel is developing the next-generation Loihi architecture and SDK to power the coming era physical AI. The new SDK is built on open-standard AI frameworks to lower the adoption barrier while enabling maximum performance and efficiency on Loihi.
All Lava repositories are archived. Stay tuned for announcements about our new SDK and next generation Loihi processor.
Thank you all for your contribution to Lava over the past years!
Lava-peripherals is a library to the open-source framework Lava that adds support for peripheral devices such as cameras or robotic actuators. Lava enables users to develop neuro-inspired applications and map them to neuromorphic hardware. It provides tools and abstractions to develop applications that fully exploit the principles of neural computation.
- Dynamic Vision Cameras
- Metavision
- Inivation (coming soon)
- Intel RealSense cameras
- Robotic actuators (to be planned)
Lava-peripherals currently requires Linux and does not support Windows or MacOS.
Lava-peripherals is flexible with the dependency on the libraries for the peripheral hardware and requires only those to be installed which are used.
The PropheseeCamera Process, requires the metavision-sdk v4.0.0 or newer to be installed.
The RealSense Process, requires the Intel® RealSense™ SDK v2.0 and the Python wrapper pyrealsense2 to be
installed.
Lava-peripherals requires Python version 3.9 or newer; for installation either pip or poetry is required.
cd $HOME
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
git clone https://github.com/lava-nc/lava-peripherals.git
cd lava-peripherals
poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true
poetry install
# in order to find metavision-sdk
