Maix Bit AI Development Board with K210 RISC-V Architecture

The Maix Bit AI development board is built with the innovative AI chip K210, utilizing the advanced RISC-V architecture. The K210 chip offers a robust dual-core processor with an independent floating point unit (FPU), a 64-bit CPU, and 8 MB of on-chip SRAM. Its 400 adjustable nominal frequency and support for double precision in mathematical operations like multiplication, division, and square root elevate its computational capability significantly. The extensive feature set on this compact board promises extraordinary performance in various AI and microcontroller applications.

Measuring just 53.3mm by 25.4mm, the Maix Bit AI board is a powerhouse of functionality. It houses a high-speed 128 Mbit Flash memory and incorporates a USB to Serial port chip (CH552), making data transfer swift and efficient. The addition of an RGB LED, MEMS microphone, and interfaces for a 24-pin DVP camera and 24-pin 8-bit MCU LCD further enhances its versatility. Despite its modest size, this board delivers impressive performance thanks to its RISC-V framework and affordable pricing. It makes AI, alongside MicroPython support, accessible to a wider audience without sacrificing quality.

The MaixPy firmware, a vital component of this board, is tailored to enhance both AI algorithms and conventional microcontroller operations. It's compatible with most APIs of the OpenMV platform. Owning this development board is akin to having an OpenMV development board but at a fraction of the cost. What sets it further apart is the performance power—it executes standard algorithms 2 to 3 times faster than the STM32H7 version and elevates AI algorithmic power over 1000 times the capability of the same version. This astonishing performance leap demonstrates the potential of the Maix Bit AI development board as a revolutionary tool for complex and demanding computing tasks.
