A sensor array feeds an edge controller running an RTOS and an inference layer. Connectivity carries data to cloud services, and a device-management path returns firmware and configuration over the air.
- Layer 1 of 3: Device. Sensor array and the embedded controller that reads it.
- Sensor array — Concern deterministic control loops
- MCU / SoC — Concern embedded firmware
- Peripherals
- Layer 2 of 3: Edge intelligence. An RTOS and an inference layer deciding on-device.
- RTOS — Concern edge inference latency
- Inference — Validation medical-device controls
- Layer 3 of 3: Cloud services. Integration, device management and over-the-air update.
- Connectivity
- Device management — Path OTA update
Connections:
- Sensor array reports readings to MCU / SoC.
- MCU / SoC drives Peripherals.
- MCU / SoC passes data up to RTOS.
- RTOS schedules Inference.
- Inference passes data up to Connectivity.
- Connectivity carries telemetry to Device management.
- Device management returns firmware and configuration to Inference.
