Google Coral Dev Board Mini
A development board to quickly prototype on-device ML products.
The Google Coral Dev Board Mini is a single-board computer that provides fast machine learning (ML) inferencing in a small form factor. It’s primarily designed as an evaluation device for the Accelerator Module (a surface-mounted module that provides the Edge TPU), but it’s also a fully-functional embedded system you can use for various on-device ML projects.
A camera module designed specifically for the Google Coral range is available here.
Performs high-speed ML inferencing
The on-board Edge TPU coprocessor is capable of performing 4 trillion operations (tera-operations) per second (TOPS), using 0.5 watts for each TOPS (2 TOPS per watt). For example, it can execute state-of-the-art mobile vision models such as MobileNet v2 at almost 400 FPS, in a power efficient manner. See more performance benchmarks.
Provides a complete system
A single-board computer with SoC + ML + wireless connectivity, all on the board running a derivative of Debian Linux we call Mendel, so you can run your favorite Linux tools with this board.
Supports TensorFlow Lite
No need to build models from the ground up. TensorFlow Lite models can be compiled to run on the Edge TPU.
Supports AutoML Vision Edge
Easily build and deploy fast, high-accuracy custom image classification models to your device with AutoML Vision Edge.
