MCU-Based Solution is Qualified with Alexa Voice Service

NXP Semiconductors has unveiled an MCU based voice control solution qualified with Amazon’s Alexa Voice Service (AVS). This enables original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to quickly, easily and inexpensively add voice control to their products, giving their customers access to rich voice experiences with Alexa. Built on an NXP i.MX RT crossover platform, this MCU-based AVS solution enables low latency, far-field, “wake word” detection; embeds all necessary digital signal processing capabilities; runs on Amazon FreeRTOS; and includes an Alexa client application.
This MCU-based AVS solution provides OEMs with a self-contained, turnkey offering that enables them to quickly add Alexa to their products. It includes the MCU, the TFA9894D smart audio amplifier, optional A71CH secure element and comes with fully integrated software. It also features noise suppression, echo cancellation, beam forming and barge-in capabilities that enable use in acoustically difficult environments.

NXP offers at its Mougins, Sophia-Antipolis facilities a product testing service for Alexa Built-in products, available to its customers desiring to test their devices before submitting to Amazon for final evaluation. If a customer’s product supports music and/or is far-field enabled and uses a “wake word” to initiate interactions with Alexa, additional testing is required prior to submitting products to Amazon for evaluation. This is where Pro-Support Audio Voice Services helps to complete the self-test checklists.
