Backplane Systems introduces iEi’s Mustang-M2AE-MX1 Computing Accelerator Card for Image Processing.

The Mustang-M2AE-MX1 (M.2 AE-key card) includes an Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ X VPU, providing a flexible AI Inference Solution for compact size and embedded systems.

With the Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ X VPU implemented, the Mustang-M2AE-MX1 supports FP16 and can rapidly port and deploy neural networks in Caffe and Tensorflow formats allowing for End-to-End acceleration.

The Vision Processing Unit (VPU) is designed to allow an AI to process faster and is well suited for low power consumption applications such as surveillance, retail, transportation.

With the advantage of power efficiency and high performance to dedicate DNN topologies, it is perfect to be implemented in AI edge computing device to reduce total power usage, providing longer duty time for the rechargeable edge computing equipment.

KEY FEATURES:

• M.2 AE Key Form Factor (22 x 30 mm)
• 1 x Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ X VPU MA2485
• Power Efficiency, Approximate 4.5W
• Operating Temperature -20°C to 60°C
• Powered by Intel’s OpenVINO™ Toolkit
