It runs a derivative of Debian Linux we call Mendel. Performs high-speed ML inferencing: The onboard Edge TPU coprocessor is capable of performing 4 trillion operations (tera-operations) per second (TOPS), using 0.5 watts for each TOPS (2 TOPS per watt). For example, it can execute state-of-the-art mobile vision models such as MobileNet v2 at 400 FPS, in a power-efficient manner. Integrates with your custom hardware: The SoM connects to your own baseboard hardware with three 100-pin connectors. Supports TensorFlow Lite: No need to build models from the ground up. TensorFlow Lite models can be compiled to run on the Edge TPU. Supports AutoML Vision Edge: Easily build and deploy fast, high-accuracy custom image classification models to your device with AutoML Vision Edge. Description The Coral System-on-Module (SoM) is a fully-integrated system that helps you build embedded devices that demand fast machine learning (ML) inferencing. It contains 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 for high-speed machine learning inferencing. 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 almost 400 FPS, in a power-efficient manner. This on-device processing reduces latency, increases data privacy, and removes the need for a high-bandwidth connection used to perform ML inferencing in the cloud. Key benefits of the SoM: High-speed and low-power ML inferencing (4 TOPS @2 W) A complete Linux system (running Mendel, a Debian derivative) Small footprint (40 x 48 mm) The SoM is also included in the Coral Dev Board, which is a single-board computer that enables fast prototyping and evaluation of the standalone SoM.
