A fully-integrated system for accelerated ML applications (includes CPU, GPU, Edge TPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Secure Element), in a 40mm x 48mm pluggable module. Available in bulk.

Description


The Coral System-on-Module (SoM) is a fully-integrated system that helps you build embedded devices 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 comes from Google's Edge TPU coprocessor for high-speed machine learning inferencing.

Provides a complete system

The Coral SoM is a fully-integrated Linux system that includes NXP's iMX8M system-on-chip (SoC), eMMC memory, LPDDR4 RAM, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and the Edge TPU coprocessor for ML acceleration. It runs a derivative of Debian Linux we call Mendel.

Performs high-speed ML inferencing

The on-board Edge TPU coprocessor is capable of performing 4 trillion operations (tera-operations) per second (TOPS), using 0.5 watts for each TOPS (2 TOPS per watt). For example, it can execute state-of-the-art mobile vision models such as MobileNet v2 at almost 400 FPS, in a power efficient manner. See more performance benchmarks.

Integrates with your custom hardware

The SoM connects to your own baseboard hardware with three 100-pin connectors.

Supports TensorFlow Lite

No need to build models from the ground up. TensorFlow Lite models can be compiled to run on the Edge TPU.

Also available with a baseboard as part of the Coral Dev Board.
