Banana Pi BPI-AI2N – A Renesas RZ/V2N-based SoM and carrier board for Vision AI applications

Banana Pi has launched the BPI-AI2N, a system-on-module and carrier board powered by Renesas' RZ/V2N quad-core Cortex-A55 microprocessor with a 15 TOPS (sparse) DRP-AI3 accelerator for Vision AI workloads. The SoM includes 8GB LPDDR4x, 32GB eMMC flash, 64MB SPI flash, and dual Gigabit Ethernet, while the carrier board offers MIPI DSI, dual MIPI CSI, dual GbE RJ45, dual USB 3.0, an M.2 NVMe slot, and a 40-pin GPIO header.
