MaixCDK (Maix C/CPP Development Kit) is a C/C++ development kit that integrates practical functions such as AI, machine vision, and IoT, providing easy-to-use encapsulation for quickly building your own projects in vision, artificial intelligence, IoT, robotics, industrial cameras, and more.

It is also the C/C++ version of MaixPy.

Features

• Supports hardware-accelerated execution of AI models, including common classification, detection, and segmentation algorithms.
• Supports common vision algorithms such as color block detection, QR code recognition, apriltag detection, line following, etc.
• Supports OpenCV.
• Provides interfaces for common peripheral operations (UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO, PWM, ADC, camera, display, etc.).
• Cross-platform support, including Linux and Sipeed Maix series development boards (see table below for specifics).
• Easy-to-use API with commonly used function examples.
• Simple environment setup with one-click compilation.
• Supports online debugging of programs.
• Corresponding Python version (MaixPy) with automatically synchronized API updates.
• Complete ecosystem including MaixCDK + MaixPy + MaixVision (code writing, real-time image viewing, etc.) + MaixHub (application store, sharing, communication, etc.).

MaixCDK Development Guidelines

To help developers quickly understand MaixCDK and maintain the quality of long-term updates, please read the MaixCDK Development Guidelines and Guidelines before writing or contributing code.

More Documentation

In addition to the development guidelines above, the documentation also includes application documents, development notes, and more for reference.

Please visit Sipeed Wiki.

The documents are written in Markdown format under the docs directory. You can directly view the .md files or generate a web version of the documentation using the teedoc tool.

pip install teedoc -U  # Install teedoc via pip
cd docs                # Navigate to the docs directory
teedoc install -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple  # Install teedoc plugins according to the documentation
teedoc serve           # Start a local web service to preview

Then, access the documentation via http://127.0.0.1:2333 in your browser.

If you need to generate offline documentation, use the teedoc build command. The generated documents will be in the out directory. Use python -m http.server in the out directory to start a local web service for preview.
