A famous person once said, "The Future Is Now."
So, why wait to the future, what you can do now. Like, apply for the BeagleBone AI Roadtest: BeagleBone AI
Built on open source Linux, BeagleBone
AI fills the gap between small single board computers (SBCs) and more powerful industrial computers.
BeagleBone AI makes it easy to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can be used in everyday life. Machine learning is supported by an optimized TI Deep Learning (TIDL) software framework and pre-installed software tools. Here's a few specs:
- Works with existing BeagleBoard.org BeagleBone cape add-on boards and many available third-party cape add-on boards and enclosures
- 1GB RAM and 16GB on-board eMMC flash with a high-speed interface
- USB Type-C for power and superspeed dual-role controller; and USB Type-A host
- Gigabit Ethernet, 2.4/5GHz WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.2/BLE
- microHDMI video and audio output
- Zero-download out-of-box software experience
- TI Sitara
AM5729 processor with: Dual 1.5GHz Arm Cortex-A15 microprocessor subsystem 2 C66x Floating-Point VLIW DSPs - 4 Embedded Vision Engines (EVEs) supported by the TIDL software framework library for machine learning
- 2x Dual-Core Programmable Real-Time Unit (PRU) subsystems (4 PRUs total) for ultra-low latency control and software generated peripherals
- 2x Dual Arm Cortex-M4 co-processors for real-time control and subsystem management
- IVA-HD subsystem with support for 4K at 15fps H.264 encode/decode and other codecs at 1080p60
- Vivante GC320 2D graphics accelerator
- Dual-Core PowerVR SGX544 3D GPU
So here's my question:
what's keeping you from applying to get a free Beaglebone AI to experiment with and get into the world of Machine Learning?
At this point it's a complete mystery to me? Kindly inform me, Watson!
