TuyaOpen SMP Architecture! What is SMP Architecture? How Does It Improve Performance?
AMP vs SMP
AMP (Asymmetric Multi-Processing) and SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) are two common architectures for multi-core processors:
AMP (Asymmetric Multi-Processing): Each core can run different operating systems or tasks, resource allocation and scheduling between cores are relatively independent, suitable for scenarios with special requirements for real-time or security. For example, one core runs Linux, another core runs RTOS, they don't interfere with each other, but development and resource management complexity is higher.
SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing): All cores run the same operating system, the system automatically distributes tasks to each core, cores have equal status and share resources. Developers don't need to care about which core specific tasks execute on, development experience is simpler, suitable for high concurrency and multi-task scenarios.
In short: AMP is more flexible but complex, suitable for special needs; SMP is easier to use, suitable for most general multi-core applications. T5AI v1.5.0 adopts SMP architecture, making multi-core development simpler and more efficient!
What Does TuyaOpen's SMP Architecture Mean for Developers? Do You Need to Change Your Development Approach?
Summary: v1.5.0 makes development more efficient and powerful, but your development habits and code structure basically don't need major changes, just focus on new features and multi-core best practices to easily enjoy upgrade benefits!
Smoother Development Experience: SMP multi-core support and hardware ecosystem expansion allow you to easily develop high-concurrency, multi-task applications without worrying about performance bottlenecks. Original single-core code doesn't need major modifications, the system will automatically schedule multi-core resources, but if you want to further tap multi-core potential, you can achieve higher performance through multi-threading/multi-task programming (such as RTOS tasks, LVGL multi-threaded rendering, etc.).
API Compatibility Guarantee: Most APIs are compatible with older versions, existing projects can upgrade smoothly. New hardware and new driver access methods are consistent with before.
More Creative Space: LVGL dual versions, rich peripherals and game applications allow you to try more innovative approaches. You can directly reuse official examples, or develop your own applications based on new drivers and new capabilities.
No Major Refactoring Needed: If you already have projects based on T5AI, you don't need large-scale code refactoring after upgrading to v1.5.0.
Recommendation: To fully utilize multi-core and new hardware capabilities, it is recommended to learn and use RTOS tasks, semaphores, queues, and other multi-core concurrent programming methods, refer to official multi-core examples and documentation.

In the current era of AI technology boom, ordinary objects around us can be redefined and given intelligence. Today, let's unlock an interesting approach: using the Tuya T5AI-Board development board to create a customized smart desktop chatbot.
With the powerful support of the TuyaOpen framework and Tuya intelligent agents, even beginners with zero foundation can easily achieve "zero-code" development with AI Coding tools: it can not only keenly capture emotional fluctuations in conversations but also display corresponding images in real-time to convey emotional tension. What's even more surprising is that in a short time, the development board can transform into a fully playable game console, easily achieving a cross-boundary transformation from a chat assistant to an entertainment device.
TuyaOpen is an open-source, open development framework designed for the AIoT industry, built on TuyaOS, a mature commercial-grade IoT system. It inherits core features such as cross-platform compatibility, cross-system support, modularity, and robust security compliance, verified through the deployment of over 100 million devices and millions of users worldwide.
TuyaOpen integrates edge-side AI inference engines, supports Tuya cloud intelligent agent hub, and supports edge-cloud fusion multimodal AI capabilities. You can seamlessly call domestic compliant large models (such as DeepSeek, Tongyi Qianwen, Doubao) or flexibly connect to world-class AI services (such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini). Through a diverse tool ecosystem, you can achieve various AI functions such as text and voice conversations, image generation, and video generation.
Search for TuyaOpen.ai in your browser to access the TuyaOpen Git repository and copy the repository link as shown below. Clone the TuyaOpen SDK to your local machine, then add the AI chatbot project your_chat_bot to the conversation and let the AI Coding tool automatically execute compilation and flashing.
Generate images corresponding to 7 emotions: "happy, angry, sad, shocked, confused, like, thinking" on an image generation website, then modify the image pixels to 240 x 240 (because the T5 development board has limited Flash space, larger images take up more Flash space, so image size needs to be reduced).
Currently, Tuya Agent will return up to 21 emotion values based on conversations, as shown in the following table:
In embedded development, displaying images on screen is usually quite complex. When writing code manually, you need to crop images to fixed sizes, then convert them to C array format, while also considering screen size, image storage location, and other detailed factors.
Therefore, when using AI Coding tools, the more detailed and specific the prompt description, the more accurate and ideal the final effect will be. If there are reference cases, code snippets, or requirement documents, it is recommended to provide them to the tool as reference; if technical details required for development can be clarified in advance, it can further improve the tool's output relevance and reduce subsequent adjustment costs.
For example, when asking AI to implement image screen display functionality, you need to explicitly instruct it to first convert images to C array format; otherwise, AI may default to using file path calls, directly trying to open image files in PNG or JPG formats. In addition, image encoding formats are diverse (such as RGB565, RGB888, etc.). If not specified in advance, even if the display effect can be achieved through multiple debugging compilations, it will significantly increase the number of debugging iterations and costs.
To make the AI Coding tool understand requirements more accurately, parameters such as image format, size specifications, and image storage location supported by the target device need to be clearly defined. This can effectively reduce compilation debugging times and improve development efficiency. You can refer to the following template for configuration.
Goal: Help me add images from the image folder to the your_chat_bot project. Replace the text emoji displayed for emotion in the current project src/display/ui/ui_chatbot.c, change to display images from the image folder based on emotion values. Use LVGL RGB565 format for images, images need to be converted to C array format.
Constraints: If ROM overflows, reduce to 4 main images (Happy, Sad, Angry, Love)
Technology: The screen size used in the current project is H 480, W 320 pixels, using LVGL V8 version GUI library
Verification: Compilation succeeds with no ROM overflow, images display normally after flashing
Alternative: If 240x240 fails, try 120x120 or further reduce the number of images
Prompt Template.png
After accurately identifying your core intent, the AI Coding tool can automatically generate a Python-based image conversion tool in the target project.
Before developing the 2048 game interface, you need to plan the interface design through the AI Coding tool. After providing information such as controller chip performance limitations and screen pixel size to the AI Coding tool, the tool will plan a 4 Γ 4 board game interface; if actual performance meets standards, a 5 Γ 5 board layout can be considered later.
The purpose of this step is to confirm in advance whether the final output effect of the AI Coding tool matches expectations before issuing the function implementation instruction; if there are deviations, additional constraints can be added to the prompt to correct them.
After checking the 2048 game interface plan planned by the AI Coding tool, issue an instruction to create a 2048 game interface: need to set a toggle button on the screen to achieve interactive switching between chat interface and game interface; at the same time, the 2048 game interface needs to be saved separately in UI file format for convenient project management.
Goal: Help me add a 2048 game interface to the your_chat_bot project, only need to implement basic 2048 game functionality with score statistics. Can switch back and forth between chat interface and game interface through a button.
Constraints: The screen resolution size in the current project is H 480, W 320 pixels, game interface is a 4*4 board.
Verification: Compilation succeeds with no ROM overflow, images display normally after flashing
At this point, the desktop chatbot developed based on the TuyaOpen open-source conversation project your_chat_bot is complete. This robot supports emoji image replacement functionality and integration with the 2048 game interface.
Here is the final generated example firmware file: your_chat_bot_QIO_1.0.1.bin. You can obtain the firmware and complete flashing to experience the final effect.
During project or Demo development, it is recommended to first organize and summarize the overall functional architecture through AI tools, then issue development instructions based on the architecture to improve effectiveness.
The more detailed the upfront prompts, the better the final effect. If there are reference materials, they should be provided to the AI tool as much as possible; if technical details can be clarified in advance, it's even better. For example, when implementing image screen display functionality, you need to specify that images need to be converted to C array format and clearly specify the specific encoding format (such as RGB565, RGB888, etc.); if the encoding format is not specified, it will significantly increase debugging times.
Regarding prompts, you can refer to the following template:
Goal: [What specifically to achieve]
Constraints: [What are the limiting conditions]
Technology: [What tools/methods to use]
Verification: [How to confirm success]
Alternative: [What to do if it fails]
For example:
Goal: Change emotion images from 64x64 to 240x240 pixels
Constraints: If ROM overflows, reduce to 4 main images (Happy, Sad, Angry, Love)
Technology: Use png_to_c_array.py tool to regenerate, update CMakeLists.txt
Verification: Compilation succeeds with no ROM overflow, images display normally after flashing
Alternative: If 240x240 fails, try 120x120 or further reduce the number of images.
