The FPGA handles image signal processing and can be leveraged for AI/machine-vision acceleration, while the dual-core Cortex-A9 runs general tasks. Hardware schematics, PCB layouts, and a buildroot-based Linux SDK are released on GitHub under a non-commercial license, though the ISP HDL code stays closed. The project is crowdfunding on Kickstarter with a base kit priced at $684 and a Developer Edition Kit Pro at 2,999 Euros, with shipping expected in January 2027. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
