Featuring a high-efficiency AM67A AI vision processor from Texas Instruments, BeagleY-AI enables up to 4 TOPS of deep learning performance and simplifies the design of fanless facial recognition, touchless HMIs, and real-time automation projects for makers, hobbyists, students, and professional developers alike.

BeagleY-AI is a single board computer launched by beagleboard.org which is fully open source to facilitate the ecosystem of open source community.

BeagleY-AI is based on the new AM67A AI vision processor from Texas Instruments. The processor features four 64-bit ArmCortex-A53 CPU cores with clock speeds up to 1.4 GHz, two general-purpose C7x DSPs and two Matrix Accelerators (MMAs) that enable up to 4 TOPS of deep learning performance, a vision processing accelerator with ISP,  GPU cores, and multiple Arm Cortex-R5 cores for low power, low-latency GPIO control. Users can maximize this compute via high-speed PCIe , USB3 interfaces and flexible multimedia I/Os to enable cost-effective multi-camera, multi-display system designs.

BeagleY-AI’s 40-pin expansion header enables breadboard- and solder-free system prototyping with countless compatible sensors, actuators, and connectivity add-ons. And as an open-source design, professional and advanced users are also free to modify the hardware to take control of the supply chain, manufacturing, and build derivatives that are cost-, size-, and use case-optimized.
