EDGE AI SENSING PLATFORM DISCOVERY KIT
EDGE AI SENSING PLATFORM DISCOVERY KIT
The Edge AI Sensing Platform Discovery Kit brings advanced sensing capabilities and AI computation to the edge. In its first release, it features a SONY IMX335LLN-D image sensor, powered by ST’s STM32N6 MCU Cortex-M7 at 480MHz, which includes the Neural-Art Accelerator™ an ST specific Neural Processing Unit. This combination enables fast deployment, near real-time inferencing, and local event handling, eliminating reliance on cloud interactions.
