About this item

The Coral System-on-Module (SoM) with 1GB LPDDR4 RAM is a compact, high-performance embedded computing solution designed for rapid machine learning inferencing at the edge. Measuring just 40mm x 48mm, this module integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor and a Cortex-M4F core within the NXP i.MX 8M system-on-chip (SoC), delivering robust processing capabilities. Coupled with Google's Edge TPU ML accelerator, it achieves up to 4 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of performance, enabling efficient execution of TensorFlow Lite models, such as MobileNet v2, at nearly 400 frames per second. The SoM includes 8GB eMMC storage and supports various interfaces, including Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, HDMI 2.0a, MIPI DSI, and MIPI CSI-2, facilitating versatile connectivity options. Wireless communication is supported through Wi-Fi 2x2 MIMO (802.11b/g/n/ac) and Bluetooth 4.2. Additionally, it offers up to 95 GPIOs, including SPI, I2C, PWM, UART, SAI, and SDIO, providing extensive expansion possibilities. Ideal for developers seeking to integrate advanced ML capabilities into custom hardware designs, the Coral SoM offers a powerful platform for applications in robotics, smart cameras, and IoT devices. Its small form factor and comprehensive feature set make it a versatile choice for embedded AI solutions
