About this item

The Coral AI Development Board is a powerful single-board computer designed for rapid machine learning inferencing at the edge. It features the NXP i.MX 8M System-on-Chip (SoC), combining a quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU with a Cortex-M4F core, and is equipped with a Google Edge TPU coprocessor capable of delivering over 4 trillion operations per second (TOPS), achieving 2 TOPS per watt. This makes it ideal for deploying TensorFlow Lite models, such as MobileNet v2, at nearly 400 frames per second, all while consuming minimal power. The board comes with 1GB LPDDR4 RAM and 8GB eMMC storage, along with a microSD slot for additional storage. Connectivity options include Gigabit Ethernet, USB Type-A 3.0, USB Type-C OTG, and USB Type-C for power. It also supports HDMI 2.0a for video output and features integrated GC7000 Lite graphics. Running on Mendel Linux, a Debian-based operating system, the board supports TensorFlow Lite and AutoML Vision Edge, enabling developers to build and deploy custom image classification models efficiently. The Coral AI Development Board is an excellent choice for developers looking to prototype and scale embedded machine learning applications, offering a complete system with onboard ML acceleration and wireless connectivity
