Coral Dev Board: AI Accelerator for Edge Computing

Description

The Google Coral Development Board is a compact single-board computer designed for fast machine learning inferencing. It combines the Coral System-on-Module (SoM) featuring NXP’s iMX8M system-on-chip, 8GB eMMC memory, 1GB LPDDR4 RAM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, and Google’s Edge TPU coprocessor for high-performance ML at low power.

The baseboard offers a wide array of peripheral connections including USB 2.0/3.0 ports, DSI display interface, CSI-2 camera interface, Ethernet port, speaker terminals, and a 40-pin I/O header, making it ideal for prototyping embedded systems that can be scaled to production.

Supported by Adafruit Blinka, the board enables use of CircuitPython libraries for easy hardware interfacing. A 5V 3A USB-C power supply is recommended for powering the board.
