The Coral Dev Board Micro is a microcontroller board with a built-in camera, microphone, and Coral Edge TPU, allowing you to quickly prototype and deploy low-power embedded systems with on-device ML inferencing.
By combining the Cortex M4 and M7 processors with the Coral Edge TPU on this board, you can design systems that gracefully cascade from extremely low-power ML inferencing to more complex—yet still power-efficient—ML inferencing.
The Coral Dev Board Micro is a microcontroller board with a dual-core MCU, Coral Edge TPU, camera, and microphone. With this board, you can build low-power systems with fast on-device inferencing for vision and audio ML applications. You can also expand the hardware with custom add-on boards using high-density board-to-board connectors. The Edge TPU is a small ASIC designed by Google that accelerates TensorFlow Lite models in a power-efficient manner. One Edge TPU is capable of performing 4 trillion operations per second (4 TOPS). This on-device ML processing reduces latency, increases data privacy, and removes the need for a constant internet connection.
Overall, the Coral Dev Board Micro is a powerful and versatile board that can be used for a wide range of AI applications at the edge. Its compact size and low power consumption make it a great choice for embedded systems and other devices where space is limited.
