Product description: BagleBone AI-64 - ARM Cortex-A72 4 GB RAM + 16 GB eMMC
The BeagleBone AI-64 minicomputer is built for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning with the expandability of the BeagleBone platform and onboard peripherals to start learning and building applications right away. The module is based on the Texas Instruments Jacinto TDA4VM Dual ARM Cortex-A72 64-bit system clocked at 2 GHz. The AI-64 has also been equipped with C7x + MMA 8 TOPS and 2 C66x co-processors and 3x Dual ARM Cortex-R5. The device has 4 GB of RAM and 16 GB of built-in eMMC memory . The PowerVR Rouge 8XE GE8430 3D graphics chip allows for 2x 1080p30 H.264 image encoding and 8x 1080p30 H.264 / H.265 decoding. The board has USB type C, two USB type A connectors, Gigabit Ethernet, M.2 E-key connector for WiFi / Bluetooth extension, miniDisplayPort, 2x 4-line CSI, DSI. On the bottom of the module there is a large heat sink that efficiently dissipates heat from the electronic components. Linux Debian was installed on the CD.
