The Coral Dev Board with 4GB RAM stands as an exemplary single-board computer (SBC) designed explicitly for rapid on-device machine learning (ML) prototyping and scaled production. It integrates cutting-edge components, empowering developers to accelerate ML inferencing within a compact form factor.
High-Speed ML Inferencing
At the heart of its capabilities lies the onboard Edge TPU coprocessor, showcasing unparalleled performance. Delivering an astounding 4 trillion operations per second (4 TOPS int8) with an exceptional power efficiency of 2 TOPS per watt, this board executes state-of-the-art mobile vision models, achieving approximately 400 FPS for models like MobileNet v2.
Complete System Integration
A holistic solution, this SBC amalgamates System-on-Chip (SoC), ML processing, and wireless connectivity seamlessly on a single board. Operating on Mendel, a Debian Linux derivative, it empowers developers to utilize their preferred Linux tools effortlessly.
