8bitbrain MB Core SDK
Alpha SDK for feature extraction, hardware-connected evaluation, and baseline-oriented analysis.
The MB Core SDK is an early developer-facing package for engineers and technical evaluators working with the 8bitbrain MB-core workflow. It supports time-series feature extraction, software-only evaluation, hardware-connected UART evaluation, baseline detector analysis, and repeatable demo flows built around NASA IMS-style examples.
This page is a concise product overview. Full technical documentation is maintained separately and linked below.
What Is Included
The SDK is structured to support practical evaluation of MB-core workflows without forcing every user into the same path.
SDK API
Developer-facing package surface for MB-core evaluation flows.
Cold Mode
Software-only evaluation path with no hardware dependency.
UART Mode
Hardware-connected evaluation path for MB-core communication.
Baseline Detector
Baseline-oriented analysis utilities for technical evaluation.
NASA IMS Demo Flow
Repeatable demo workflow using NASA IMS-style example artifacts.
Documentation
Separate docs for setup, usage, and deeper technical reference.
Two Evaluation Modes
MB Core SDK supports both software-only exploration and hardware-connected evaluation. The choice depends on whether you are validating algorithms locally or exercising a compatible MB-core implementation over UART.
Software-Only Evaluation
Cold mode for local analysis and repeatable evaluation
Use cold mode when you want to evaluate signal windows, generate CSV-style outputs, and inspect baseline detector behavior without connecting hardware.
- No hardware required
- Supports software-only evaluation flows
- Useful for CSV generation and baseline-oriented analysis
- Good fit for early technical review and reproducible experiments
Hardware-Connected Evaluation
UART mode for working against an MB-core implementation
Use UART mode when you need to communicate with a hardware-connected MB-core implementation as part of a more realistic evaluation setup.
- Requires UART communication with a compatible MB-core target
- Requires a compatible evaluation or development board
- Requires a matching MB-core bitstream
- Requires protocol and transport compatibility across the setup
Hardware Requirements
UART mode is intended for hardware-connected evaluation and is not a generic plug-and-play path. It requires a compatible evaluation or development board, a matching MB-core bitstream, and transport behavior that matches the expected UART protocol.
Hardware-enabled evaluation may be available on request. For access or compatibility discussions, contact contact@8bitbrain.ai.
NASA IMS Demo Flow
The SDK supports a technical demo and evaluation workflow based on NASA IMS bearing data. Small example or demo artifacts may be included to support repeatable evaluation flows.
The full NASA IMS dataset is not included in the repository. The goal is a clean, repeatable product-style demo path for technical evaluation.
