SolidRun introduced its Hailo-15 machine vision processor last year, based on a quad-core Cortex-A53 processor chip and capable of delivering up to 20 TOPS for AI . Recently, SolidRun released a SOM module incorporating this SoC, along with up to 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 256GB of eMMC storage, as well as support for two cameras and an H.265/4 video encoder.
This isn't the first SOM launched by SolidRun, which has previously released other models such as the RZ/G2LC SOM and the LX2-Lite SOM, as well as a ClearFog LX2-Lite development board and a COM Express module based on the Ryzen V3000 series. The new Hailo-15 module will be available in two variants :
- Hailo-15M, with 11 TOPS of computing power.
- Hailo-15H, which reaches 20 TOPS.
This module also features a 12-megapixel image signal processor (ISP) with an H.264/H.265 hardware encoder and HDR support, and can capture images up to 4k30 thanks to the Sony IMX334 and IMX678 image sensors.
Regarding operating system support, the module offers extensive Linux-based software support , including a dataflow compiler and a library of deep learning examples and applications. It supports major machine learning frameworks such as Keras, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and ONNX, and is distributed with a Yocto-based Linux distribution.
SolidRun will offer this device starting at $149, depending on the model and specifications chosen… For more information, you can visit their official website.
