CES 2020: Google Announces Coral Accelerator Module, Dev Board Mini
Jan. 3, 2020What Is Coral?
The company currently has a bunch of hardware under its Coral product portfolio including the Coral Dev Board, USB Accelerator, and PCIe Accelerators which are now available in 36 countries.
The Coral Accelerator Module (CAM) is a multi-chip package that packs in an Edge TPU ASIC, and exposes USB and PCIe interfaces. Moreover, Google says the new module can be easily integrated into custom PCB designs.
The company is also launching a new variant of the existing Coral System-on-Module. The new variant comes with 2GB or 4GB LPDDR4 RAM, adding on to the existing Coral SOM that had 1GB LPDDR4 RAM.
The Mountain View giant has also announced that the Coral SOM will be used in Asus’ “Tinker Edge T” — a maker friendly board with I/O interfaces, camera connectors, programmable LEDs, and a color-coded GPIO header.
