Synaptics SL1680 Evaluation Kit
Synaptics SL1680 Evaluation Kit is a part of the Astra™ Machina™ Foundation Series of evaluation-ready kits that enable easy and rapid prototyping for the SL1680 multi-modal embedded processors. A modular design incorporates swappable core compute modules, a common I/O board, and daughter cards for connectivity, debugging, and flexible I/O options. The Synaptics SL1680 highly integrated AI-native Linux and Android SoC is optimized for multi-modal consumer, enterprise, and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) workloads with hardware accelerators for edge inferencing, security, graphics, vision, and audio.
The SL1680 incorporates high-performance compute engines, including a quad-core Arm® Cortex®-A73 64-bit CPU subsystem, a multi-TOPS NPU, a high-efficiency, feature-rich GPU for advanced graphics and AI acceleration, and multimedia accelerators for image signal processing (ISP), 4K video encode/decode, and audio. The SL1680 SoC combines performance and feature integration to enable multi-modal applications.
