SECO, as an NXP Gold Partner and active participant in multiple early access programs, has demonstrated its expertise in leveraging NXP's cutting-edge hardware technologies. This collaboration builds upon a long-standing partnership of over 15 years and represents a significant step in bringing the added value of SECO's software solutions to the forefront of industrial and IoT applications.
This collaboration between SECO and NXP aims to simplify complexity for customers by providing a device-ready development environment for AI-powered applications in industrial and IoT applications, encompassing multiple technical initiatives. Clea will natively support NXP's MCX portfolio on Zephyr, an open-source real-time operating system, to provide NXP customers with a ready-to-use stack for deploying industrial and IoT applications.
In addition, i.MX wallet users will have access to native Clea integration in NXP Yocto/Debian releases. SECO and NXP intend to release a number of reference implementations, documentation, and code samples so their respective users can start using Clea on NXP hardware as soon as possible.
In addition, with NXP's eIQ® machine learning software development environment, Clea users will gain access to a variety of pre-built applications over time, facilitating quick access to Clea's IoT, field data, and device management functionalities, as well as enabling advanced AI capabilities, and allowing NXP users to more effectively manage and deploy their edge machine learning models at scale.
"Facilitating the commercialization of complex products for our customers is at the core of what NXP does. The combination of SECO's Clea platform with our eIQ machine learning development environment, as well as seamless compatibility with our broad portfolio of MCX MCUs and i.MX application processors, will make it easier for NXP customers to bring products to market faster and more easily," said Luca Bartolomeo, Senior Director of Industrial Business Development at NXP Semiconductors.
“Clea is perfectly positioned to become an Open Standard for data-intensive IoT applications. The recognition of its value by one of the world’s leading technology players marks a strategic milestone and represents another substantial technical validation for our platform. We will strive to be a key player in enabling Edge AI through frameworks like NXP’s eIQ machine learning development environment, and we look forward to supporting NXP users in building their next big thing,” said Massimo Mauri, CEO of SECO.
