Release Notes 5.5
This section lists the new functionality, improvements and some of the major changes related to DEEPCRAFT™ Studio.
New Features and Enhancements
Build Object Detection models in DEEPCRAFT™ Studio
You can now build object detection models within DEEPCRAFT™ Studio, starting from real-time data collection and labeling, all the way through to model training and evaluation.
-
Bring your own image data in different label formats such as PASCAL VOC, COCO, and YOLO or collect and label images in real-time using the Studio. To know more, refer to Bring your own data for object detection projects and Real-Time Image data collection and labeling using camera .
-
Train your object detection models using the lightweight and efficient YOLOv5n and YOLOv8n architectures. To know more, refer to Training Object Detection Model.
-
Evaluate your models in real-time or leverage a variety of built-in evaluation techniques to evaluate model performance. To know more, refer to Evaluating Object Detection model.
We are actively working on adding code generation and model deployment capabilities for object detection models—stay tuned for these features in upcoming releases!
New Object Detection Starter Models
To help you get started with your object detection projects, we provide two pre-built models: Rock Scissors Paper Detection and Termite Detection. The Starter models serve as ready-to-use examples that help you understand the machine learning workflows within Studio. To know more, refer to DEEPCRAFT™ Starter Models.

Model Validation
You can now validate the performance of the optimized model by checking the performance against test data, and visualize the implementation resource requirements, such as the number of cycles to run the inference engine and the memory size of the neural network model and inference working memory. To know more, refer to Code Generation for Infineon PSoC™ 6 and PSOC™ Edge boards.

Currently, the Model Validation option is not available for the PSOC Edge M55/U55 targets. However, support for model validation on PSOC Edge M55/U55 targets will be provided in the future.
Improved Code Examples for deploying model on PSoC™ 6 and PSOC™ Edge boards
We now offer better code examples for PSoC™ 6 and PSOC™ Edge boards. To learn how to deploy the models on PSoC™ 6 and PSOC™ Edge boards using ModusToolbox™, refer to Deploy model on PSoC™ 6 and PSOC™ Edge boards.
Improved Graph UX Library
We have reorganized the units in the Graph UX Library by grouping similar units into a single directory, making it more intuitive and user-friendly. To know more, refer to Graph UX Overview.

DEEPCRAFT™ Studio available in ModusToolbox™
You can now install DEEPCRAFT™ Studio from ModusToolbox™ Setup (opens in a new tab).
