RASynBoard-HUB

Title

Welcome to the information hub for the Avnet RASynBoard. RASynBoard is a low-cost evaluation kit that includes the RASynBoard core module with an I/O board for prototyping and development. Develop your custom ML solution using the evaluation kit, then use the core board SOM in your production hardware design.

What is the Avnet RASynBoard?

Core Board

The RASynBoard core-board is a tiny (25mm x 30mm), ultra-low power, edge AI/ML board, based on the Syntiant NDP120 Neural Decision Processor, Renesas RA6M4 host MCU plus a power-efficient DA16600 Wi-Fi/BT combo module. The NDP120 subsystem includes an onboard TDK MMICT5838 digital microphone, 6-axis TDK ICM42670-P IMU motion sensor and SPI Flash memory. By including the sensors as part of the NDP120 subsystem, the solution achieves highly efficient processing of acoustic and motion events. Battery and USB-C device connectors facilitate stand-alone use, while a compact under-board connector enables integration with custom OEM boards and additional sensors.

I/O Board

The IO board (50mm x 30mm) is included for implementation of a compact two board evaluation kit assembly. The I/O board pins-out a subset of the NDP120 and RA6M4 I/Os to popular Pmod, Click header and expansion header footprints; enabling connections to additional external microphones and sensor options. An onboard debugger MCU (SWD and UART interfaces), button switches, RGB LED and removable MicroSD storage, further maximize prototyping versatility and utility.
