Description
The Coral System-on-Module (SoM) is a fully-integrated system that helps you build embedded systems 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 c omes from G oogle's Edge TPU coprocessor.
The Edge TPU is a small ASIC d esigned by G oogle that a ccelerates TensorFlow Lite models in a power ecient manner: it's
capable of performing 4 trillion operations per second (4 TOPS), using 2 watts of p owerthat's 2 TOPS per w att. For
example, the Edge TPU can execute state-of-the-art mobile vision m odels such a s MobileNet v 2 at almost 400 frames per
second. This on-device ML processing reduces l atency, increases data privacy, and removes the need for a constant
internet connection.
Key benets 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 C oral Dev Board, which is a single-board computer that enables fast prototyping and
evaluation of the standalone SoM.
