The Coral Dev Board is a single-board computer that’s ideal when you need to perform fast machine learning (ML) inferencing in a small form factor. You can use the Dev Board to prototype your embedded system and then scale to production using the on-board Coral System-on-Module (SoM) combined with your custom PCB hardware.
The SoM provides a fully-integrated system, including NXP’s iMX 8M system-on-chip (SoC), eMMC memory, LPDDR4 RAM, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, but its unique power comes from Google’s 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 canexecute state-of-the-art mobile vision models such as MobileNet v2 at almost 400 FPS, in a power efficient manner.
