MLSoC
The MLSoC DevKit is a high-performance development platform purpose-built for deploying computer vision and machine learning applications at the edge. It enables developers to evaluate and prototype vision-centric models with exceptional efficiency, delivering low-latency inference and industry-leading performance per watt in real-world environments.

Interface |
Description |
---|---|
Ethernet Ports (eth0, eth1) |
RJ45, GigE network interfaces for remote connectivity in standalone mode. |
PCI-Express 4.0 x4 Interface |
High-speed PCIe interface used for integration into a host system. Adapters may be required depending on the host configuration. Available in PCIe mode only. |
Operation Mode Switch |
Configures the operating mode of the DevKit: All switches on: Standalone mode. Switch 1 off: PCIe mode. |
12V Power (J8) |
Powers the DevKit in standalone mode. Requires a 12V power adapter, use the included power adapter to connect to this port. |
I2C (J1) |
Enables communication with I2C-compatible peripherals for control or data exchange. |
GPIO Header (J2) |
Offers general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins for custom use, such as controlling external devices or sensors. |
COM Port to Host (J4) |
Facilitates debugging by connecting to the host system. Ensure the arrow sign on the included cable connects to the left-most pin for proper alignment. |
Reset Button |
Available in standalone mode only. Allows resetting the device for a fresh boot or to recover from errors. |
Debug COM Port (J5) |
Provides a debug COM port for T-root access or flashing the device. Use this for low-level debugging or firmware updates. |
Run/Program Switch |
Toggles between Run and Programming modes: - On: Run mode for normal operation. - Off: Programming mode for firmware updates or configuration changes. |
SD Card Slot |
The SD Card slot is located at the back of the MLSoC DevKit. |
