Aaeon launches M.2 and mini-PCIe based AI accelerators using low-power Kneron NPU

Aaeon’s M.2 and mini-PCIe “AI Edge Computing Modules” are based on Kneron’s energy-efficient, dual Cortex-M4-enabled KL520 AI SoC, which offers 0.3 TOP NPU performance on only half a Watt. by Eric Brown @ linuxgizmos.com

Aaeon took an early interest in edge AI acceleration with Arm-based Nvidia Jetson TX2 based computers such as the Boxer-8170AI. More recently, it has been delivering M.2 and mini-PCIe form-factor AI Core accessories for its Boxer computers and UP boards equipped with Intel Movidius Myriad 2 and Myriad X Vision Processing Units (VPUs). Now, it has added another approach to AI acceleration by launching a line of M.2 and mini-PCIe AI acceleration cards built around Kneron’s new KL520 AI SoC.

 

Aaeon’s AI Edge Computing Modules featuring the KL520 AI SoC are available for order at an undisclosed price. Presumably, these will eventually be available as individually price accessories for UP boards and the like. More information may be found in Aaeon’s announcement and on its preliminary product pages for the M2AI-2280-520, M2AI-2242-520, and Mini-AI-520 modules. More on the KL520 AI SoC may be found on Kneron’s website.
