What is the BeagleBone® AI?

BeagleBone® AI, a new addition to the BeagleBoard.org® BeagleBone® family, is a high-end Single Board Computer aimed at developers interested in implementing machine-learning and computer vision with simplicity. BeagleBone® AI simplify the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in daily application via the TI C66x digital-signal-processor (DSP) cores, two dual-core ARM Cortex-M4 co-processors for real-time control, two dual-core Programmable Real-Time Unit (PRU) subsystems and four Embedded Vision Engines(EVEs) supported through an optimized TIDL machine learning OpenCL API with pre-installed tools. The BeagleBone® AI also has an additional dual-core PowerVR SGX544 3D GPU and a Vivante GC320 2D graphics accelerator. Focused on everyday automation in industrial, commercial and home applications.

BeagleBone® AI comes in a similar form-fact as BeagleBone® Black and compatible with many BeagleBone® Cape add-on boards make it easy to extend the functionality.
