Porting Edge AI Workflows to CHERI/Morello

Oxon Tech目前正在代表威尔士中西部消防和救援服务完成由Govtech Catalyst资助的项目的第二阶段，以创建一个室内跟踪系统，能够在不需要现有基础设施的情况下立即部署到事件中。我们平台的核心组件是一个可穿戴的边缘物联网设备，该设备集成了IMU、ARM进程、ARM微控制器和用于运行人工智能的神经处理单元。该平台还包括一个可视化系统，为事件指挥官提供其所有资产部署在哪里的即时情况概述，以及一个可立即部署的安全WiFi/4G网络。尽管消防和救援服务是该产品的一个极好且非常有价值的市场，从商业上讲，军事和执法部门的生存能力要强得多。创建和保护一个跨穿戴边缘物联网设备、事件指挥官平板电脑、基于云的控制中心的平台是一个巨大的挑战，而且它可能携带部队或警察部署的数据，这使得它极有可能成为攻击目标。我们的主要重点将是将我们现有的堆栈尽可能多地移植到Morello FvP，识别并解决出现的任何依赖问题。我们还将对包括NPU在内的硬件设备的集成选项进行彻底评估，如有可能，可通过USB通过FVP或进行仿真。到项目结束时，我们的目标是创建尽可能多的关于移植IoT、基于ROS的公共文档，以及在时间允许的情况下尽可能基于FreeBSD的系统，以及在DSbD技术方面积累大量的内部专业知识。

Oxon Tech is currently finishing Phase 2 of a GovTech Catalyst funded project on behalf of Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Services to create an indoor tracking system, capable of being instantly deployed to incidents with no existing infrastructure requirements.A core component of our platform is a body worn edge IoT device that incorporates an IMU, an ARM process, ARM Microcontrollers and a Neural Processing Unit for running AI The platform also includes a visualisation system that gives incident commanders instant situational overview of where all of their assets are deployed as well as an instantly deployable secure wifi / 4g network.Although the Fire and Rescue Services are an excellent and highly worthy market for this product, commercially the military and law enforcement sectors are far more viable. Creating and securing a platform that spreads across body worn edge iot devices, to incident commander tablets, to cloud based control centers is a huge challenge, and the fact that it is potentially carrying data on troop or police deployment makes it an incredibly likely target for attack.Our main focus will be on porting as much of our existing stack to Morello FVP as possible, identifying and solving any dependency issues that arise. We will also carry out a thorough assessment of options for incorporating hardware devices including NPUs, by either USB passthrough to the FVP if possible or emulation. By the end of the project we aim to have created as much public documentation on porting IoT, ROS based and if time allows FreeBSD based systems as possible, as well as built up significant in-house expertise in DSbD technologies.
