Avnet i.MX 8M Plus Edge AI Kit

i.MX 8M Plus Edge AI Development Kit

The Avnet i.MX 8M Plus Edge AI Kit consists of a SMARC System-on-Module(SOM) and an Industrial Carrier board bundled together with a dual camera adapter. The high-performance NPU of the i.MX 8M Plus processor allows machine learning and Artificial Intelligence implementations with heavy compute demands to be pushed from the cloud down to the edge.

When combining this development kit with the NXP eIQ™ Machine Learning Software Development Environment, many options for Inference Engines, Vision Libraries, and ML workflow can be used to quickly deploy applications.
