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 IMX335-LQN image sensor, powered by ST’s STM32N6 MCU Cortex-M55 at 800MHz with an ST designed Neural Processing Unit. This combination enables fast deployment, near real-time inferencing, and local event handling, eliminating reliance on cloud interactions.

Technical Specifications
Camera Module:
- SONY IMX335-LQN: The IMX335-LQN is a diagonal 6.52 mm (Type 1/2.8) CMOS active pixel type solid-state image sensor with a square pixel array and 5.14 M effective pixels. This chip operates with analog 2.9 V, digital 1.2 V, and interface 1.8 V triple power supply, and has low power consumption. High sensitivity, low dark current and no smear are achieved through the adoption of R, G and B primary color mosaic filters. This chip features an electronic shutter with variable charge-integration time."
- M12 mount with default lens
