Qualcomm® RB5 Gen 2 Development Kit

Qualcomm® RB5 Gen 2 Development Kit (Core Kit)

The Qualcomm® RB5 Gen 2 development kit provides a valuable combination of strong performance and advanced features, including powerful AI processing and computer vision, to easily create a broad range of IoT solutions across use cases including enterprise, robotics, industrial, and automation.

Utilizing the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ QCS8550, the Qualcomm® RB5 Gen 2 development kits offer developers considerably increased AI processing capabilities compared to previous generations, higher inferences per second, improved power efficiency, and the ability to run more networks simultaneously. On-device machine learning combined with edge computing allows for near real-time processing for massive amounts of data.
The platform includes a development kit and software. Developers can select the development kit version that best addresses their needs, and design IoT products that demand advanced performance. The platform includes SDKs that make it easy for developers to use and integrate applications and services. The hardware development kit is also compliant with the 96Boards open hardware specification to support a range of mezzanine-board expansions, beginning with the Vision Mezzanine.

The platform includes the Qualcomm® Spectra680 ISP image processing engine for the ultimate photography and videography experience, and comes with a main camera and tracking camera on the Vision Kit. It can connect to and process the output of other cameras such as stereo, depth, and Time-of-Flight (ToF). The platform is built - in with Qualcomm Adreno 740 GPU, which can provide excellent image rendering and video processing capabilities and support high - resolution video playback.

Multi-gigabit Wi-Fi achieves blazing-fast wireless connectivity and low latency, which offers users quicker downloads and uploads, stable connections in crowded areas and better multi-device connectivity for smoother experiences.
With the Qualcomm® Kryo™ CPU and a Qualcomm® Hexagon™ processor featuring a fused AI-accelerator architecture, this solution delivers powerful connections and computing performance, and is purpose-built for industrial and commercial IoT applications such as ruggedized handhelds and tablets, human-machine interface systems, point-of-sale systems, drones, kiosks, edge AI boxes, and connected cameras.

• Advanced ISPs for single or multiple concurrent camera experience with superior image and video capture.

• Blazing-fast wireless connectivity and low latency thanks to multi-gigabit Wi-Fi.

• Superior Bluetooth® 5.3 with crystal-clear sound, low latency, and reliability with an extended range.

• Low-speed expansion for GPIOs, I2C, SPI, UART, and/or audio.

• High-speed expansion for PCIe, USB, MIPI CSI/DSI, and/or SDIO, designed for 96Boards mezzanines.
