Kneron KL520 AI SoC Development Kit

Kneron KL520 AI SoC Development Kit provides a full-featured demonstration and evaluation platform for the KL520 AI (Artificial Intelligence) SoC (System on a Chip). The KL520 makes Edge AI computation possible by providing the crucial components that enable a device to have AI processing power and decision-making capabilities. Performing on-device Edge AI computation means that latency is reduced and privacy is significantly improved, as the data is not being sent or stored in the cloud.

The Kneron KL520 AI SoC Development Kit includes a Main Board with a pre-installed KL520 SoC in a BGA159 package. The Main Board also provides 64MB of DDR memory and 32MB of SPI Flash memory. NIR and RGB CMOS Camera Sensors and a TFT LCD display are also included, along with an acrylic stand.
