Sinovoip has launched its latest Banana Pi model, which is a $16 board featuring Edgeless’ EAI80 microcontroller with 300 gigaoperations per second (GOPS) neural processing unit (NPU) on-board. The core of the Banana Pi EAI80 is the Edgeless EAI80 system-on-chip (SoC), which consists of a dual-core Arm Cortex-M4F primary processor clocking at 200MHz, and a 300MHz neural processing unit (NPU) designed to accelerate convolutional neural network (CNN) workloads with up to 300 GOPS of compute performance.
The board features 8MB of SDRAM memory, a 40-pin GPIO header, an LCD connector offering up to 1024x768px resolution, CAN bus header, two on-board microphones, and a DVP camera connector. The board is powered by a USB 2.0 Type-C connector, with network connectivity enabled by an on-board Espressif ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. The board runs uGelis embedded OS, and you can also program the board using the Kelis SDK which includes AI audio and computer vision demos for word recognition, hand gesture detection and recognition, and human body detection.
Target Applications of the Banana Pi EAI80 includes:
- Voice Control – Key words real-time control
- Computer Vision – Detection & recognition of object and biology (Face, Body, Gesture), vSLAM
