Coral Dev Board
Coral Dev Board is a single-board computer with a removable system-on-module (SOM) that contains eMMC, SOC, wireless radios, and Google’s Edge TPU. It’s perfect for IoT devices and other embedded systems that demand fast on-device ML inferencing. The Dev Board can be used as a single-board computer for accelerated ML processing in a small form factor, or as an evaluation kit for the on-board SOM. Additional 40mm × 48mm SOMs can be combined with your custom PCB hardware using board-to-board connectors for integration into products.
The SOM is based on NXP's iMX8M system-on-chip (SOC), but its unique power comes from the Edge TPU coprocessor. The Edge TPU is a small ASIC designed by Google that provides high performance ML inferencing with a low power cost. For example, it can execute state-of-the-art mobile vision models such as MobileNet v2 at 100+ fps in a power efficient manner.
Edge TPU key benefits:
- High speed TensorFlow Lite inferencing
- Low power
- Small footprint
