Amlogic A311Y3 octa-core Edge AI SoC features Cortex-A78/A55 cores, 8 TOPS NPU, LPDDR5 support

Amlogic A311Y3 Octa Core Edge AI SoC

Amlogic has introduced the A311Y3 Edge AI SoC, which seems to be an upgrade over earlier designs such as the A311D and A311D2 used in boards like the Khadas VIM3 and Khadas VIM4. Although not listed on the official Amlogic website, documentation from vendors such as Shenzhen Tomato Technology indicates that the A311Y3 SoC is built around a 6nm process node and features a newer CPU architecture based on Arm Cortex-A78/A55 cores. The SoC integrates an NPU with up to 8 TOPS of compute performance and supports LPDDR5/LPDDR5X memory, which can be used in both processing and Edge AI, compared to earlier A311-series chips. Amlogic A311Y3 specifications CPU 2x Arm Cortex-A78 cores (64KB L1 I-cache, 64KB L1 D-cache, 256KB L2 cache) 6x Arm Cortex-A55 cores (32KB L1 I-cache, 32KB L1 D-cache, 128KB L2 cache) with a shared 2MB L3 cache Neon and Crypto extensions included Co-processors – RISC-V core for system control processing; Built-in […]

NanoPi M6V2 RK3588S SBC gains support for dual analog microphone input

NanoPi M6V2

FriendlyELEC’s NanoPi M6V2 is an update to the NanoPi M6 Rockchip RK3588S SBC, whose main change is a 4-pin connector for dual analog microphone input. The RAM is also now fixed to 8GB (no more 4GB, 16GB, or 32GB options), some buttons have changed, and the company has stopped offering an enclosure with a built-in 3.5-inch display. The rest of the specifications remain the same, with LPDDR5 memory, support for microSD, eMMC flash, or NVMe storage, HDMI 2.1 and MIPI DSI display interfaces, MIPI CSI camera inputs, Gigabit Ethernet and optional M.2 WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity, a few USB ports, and a 30-pin GPIO header. NanoPi M6V2 specifications: SoC – Rockchip RK3588S CPU – Octa-core processor with 4x Cortex-A76 cores @ up to 2.4 GHz, 4x Cortex-A55 cores @ up to 1.8 GHz GPU – Arm Mali-G610 MP4 GPU compatible with OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.2, and Vulkan 1.2 APIs VPU – […]

Qualcomm Dragonwing Mobile Broadband Multimedia (MBM) MBM715 and MBM 415 SoCs combine 5G, Wi-Fi, multimedia, and Edge AI

Qualcomm Dragonwing MBM715 & MBM415 Mobile Broadband Multimedia SoC

Qualcomm has introduced the Dragonwing Mobile Broadband Multimedia (MBM) family, a new lineup of 4-nm SoCs that integrate 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi, multimedia processing, and on-device AI into a single platform for “interactive broadband” devices. The family currently features the top-tier Dragonwing MBM715 and the lower-cost Dragonwing MBM415, designed for smart displays, retail kiosks, service terminals, and other connected devices that require both high-speed connectivity and local processing. Unlike mobile broadband (MBB) or fixed wireless access (FWA) platforms, the MBM series combines connectivity, display, camera, and AI into one chip, so no separate processor is needed. Qualcomm Dragonwing MBM715 & MBM415 Specifications: The MBM415 has no dedicated on-device Generative AI engine, but Qualcomm officially brands the MBM415’s modem-side processing as “Qualcomm AI-Enhanced Signal Boost.” It is not for generative AI, but it is an AI feature listed in the specs. Also note that the MBM715 supports CBRS (3.5 GHz), which is […]

Monitor live traffic from V2X signals with V2X2MAP open-source Android app and an ESP32-C5 development board

ESP32-C5 traffic monitoring V2X2MAP

Yesterday, I wrote about the OpenTrafficMap ESP32-C5 C-ITS receiver board to monitor and potentially optimize traffic using 802.11p / ITS-G5 V2X communication over 5.9 GHz WiFi 6, and map all detected nodes on the OpenTrafficMap website. Peter Holzhauser  (Pit711) forked the ESP32-C5 C-ITS receiver firmware to port it to the Waveshare ESP32-C5-WIFI6-KIT development board and added BLE streaming. He also designed the V2X2MAP open-source Android app to interface with the board (since 5GHz WiFi on phones can’t usually handle 802.11p), and a Windows installer to flash the firmware. While the ESP32-C5 C-ITS receiver board integrates an ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 module, a GPS module, and an Ethernet port with PoE, the V2X2MAP project leverages any recent Android smartphone with a USB OTG port and GPS, so you can simply connect most ESP32-C5 boards to monitor live traffic at proximity (a few hundred meters to several kilometers) on your phone including traffic lights, public […]
