Does anyone know about K210 Dual-core RISC-V 64bit Boards ?

gsgill112

I was surfing the web and stumbled upon K210 Dual-core RISC-V 64bit Boards ...

another one Here and they pretty cheep for about 800 INR for the Module with Wifi ...

 

And these claim to have KPU(Neural Network Processor) inside,  64 KPU which is 576bit width, support convolution kernels, any form of activation function. It offers 0.25TOPS@0.3W,400MHz, and when you overclock to 800MHz, it offers 0.5TOPS. It means you can do object recognition 60fps@VGA.

 

Isn't that Coollll.....

and even BananaPi has then in their dev boards ..

Awesome Features for a fraction of the cost ....

Anyone has used it ?

  • Hi Gurinder,

     

    I don't know much about it, but from a quick scan, it looks like some high-performance microcontroller, i.e. competing with some Cortex-M microcontrollers.

    I think new Cortex-M devices will continue to evolve, with manufacturers releasing chips with more and more interesting peripherals and accelerators, and more and more RAM and Flash.

    Personally I want to continue exploring and using Cortex-M devices from some of the well-known manufacturers, I'm not done yet, rather than something from a manufacturer I've never heard of.

    But that's just me, and having said that, look at how popular ESP modules are, and they're very low-cost and were from a not-very-well-known manufacturer, yet they've been around for years,

    people do a lot with them, so what do I know : )
