EMB-2237-AI
Pico-ITX POE Edge AI Embedded Board with NXP i.MX8M Mini ARM Processor, Dual-core DSP for Voice Control, POE, MIPI, LVDS and Edge TPU Support.
The EMB-2237-AI is a Pico-ITX (100x 72mm) POE edge AI embedded board based on NXP i.MX8M Mini ARM application processor. The board features a Power over Ethernet (PoE) Ethernet port, on-board dual-core DSP that runs algorithms for voice control, noise suppression, and echo cancellation technology, a full set of I/Os including RS-232/485, and m.2 PCIe slot for Edge TPU AI based solutions.
Key Features
Built for Edge AI Applications
Targeted to satisfy diverse applications demanding a robust and compact computing POE edge AI embedded board for industrial machine learning, embedded vision and inferencing, the board is based on NXP application processors with 10+ year longevity support, built-in reliable communication interfaces like RS-485, RS-232 and M.2 slot for support of TPU, VPU accelerator modules like Google Coral Edge TPU and others.
PoE Power Module
Provides on-board Power over Ethernet (PoE) IEEE 802.3af standards power input via RJ45 Ethernet port for the board and system to make installing or large roll-out much simpler and cheaper
Single Point Touch Screen Connector
Integrates 4-lane MIPI DSI, dual Channel LVDS, RGB, power, backlight control and touch panel interface all in one FPC connector to give developers fast, convenient and simplified solutions for industrial and embedded POE touch panel PC applications.
On-board Voice Control Support
Built-in smart codec with dual-core DSP that runs algorithms for voice control, omni-directional spatial, noise suppression, and acoustic echo cancellation (AEC). Linux supports for Amazon AVS (Alexa Voice Service) Device SDK and Sensory TrulyHandsfree Wake Word Engine. Additional 8 channel digital audio/DMIC inputs (SAI5) for MIC array is also available via 40-pin expansion header.
Touch Panel Development Kit
5”, 7” and 10″ touch panel development kits built on the EMB-2237-AI POE edge AI embedded board to help embedded software and application development and speed up time-to-market.
