Porting Tier IV Edge.Auto to AVerMedia D135

This blog shares our first hands-on experience with Tier IV’s Edge.Auto perception framework. After validating the perception modules in the CARLA simulator, we took the next step by deploying the same pipeline on the AVerMedia D135 embedded platform. This journey represents a practical attempt to bridge the gap between simulation and real-world deployment, helping us better understand how to run ROS 2-based perception logic on edge hardware.

Voice Kiosk on QL601: Building a Low-Power, Voice-First Edge Terminal

Imagine walking up to a kiosk in a busy fast-food restaurant. Instead of tapping through a complex menu on a touchscreen, you simply say, "I'd like a cheeseburger, no onions, with a side of fries and a vanilla milkshake." The kiosk confirms your order instantly, and you're ready to pay. This isn't science fiction; it's the future of customer interaction, and it's powered by AI running directly at the edge.

Time to First Token

Time to First Token (TTFT) refers to the latency between a user hit the Enter key and the appearance of the first character shows on the screen. Excessive TTFT can greatly diminish the overall user experience.

TTFT is a crucial response time indicator for an online interactive application powered by a large language model (LLM), as it reflects how quickly users can catch the first character from the model through a web page.

Here, we will explore two simple ways to get the latency of first token from a language model.
