BeagleBone AI-64 Development Board for AI & Machine Learning

The BeagleBone® AI-64 Development Board is a powerful, open-source hardware platform specifically engineered for advanced artificial intelligence, machine learning, and edge computing applications. At its core is the high-performance Texas Instruments TDA4VM system-on-chip (SoC), integrating dual 64-bit Arm® Cortex®-A72 cores, C7x digital signal processors (DSP), and dedicated accelerators for deep learning, vision, and multimedia processing, all running at up to 2.0GHz.

Designed for versatility and expansion, the board maintains compatibility with the extensive ecosystem of BeagleBone® Cape add-on boards. It further expands connectivity options with an M.2 E-key connector supporting PCIe, USB, and SDIO for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules and other expansions. For user interaction and debugging, it features a dedicated boot button, reset button, power button, a power indication LED, and five user-programmable LEDs.

Core Specifications & Connectivity

The board is equipped with substantial memory and storage, including 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 16GB of onboard eMMC flash storage. Power is supplied via a robust 5V DC input through a USB 3.0 Type-C port, which also serves as a high-speed data interface. For peripheral connectivity, it offers dual USB 3.0 super-speed (5Gbps) Type-A host ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port. Display and camera integration is facilitated by a mini-DisplayPort, dual 4-lane CSI camera connectors, and a 4-lane DSI display connector.

Developer Features & Robust Design

Additional features crucial for development include a micro-SD card slot, a pre-assembled heatsink for thermal management, a 16-pin microcontroller header, and comprehensive debug interfaces such as wake-up and main domain serial ports and a JTAG 10-pin tag-connector. Built for reliability, the board operates within a 0°C to 70°C temperature range and carries CE and FCC certifications, ensuring compliance for various commercial,
