Based on AMD/Xilinx XCZU5EV MPSoC, FZ5 EdgeBoard AI Box has Computing Power up to 2.4TOPS and can run at 55 FPS for ResNet-50 in actual measurement. Power consumption is within 10W to 20W under typical working conditions.
The FZ5 EdgeBoard AI Box is a rugged and fanless AI edge computing box. With flexibility and stability, algorithms and models, it is designed for data computing at the edge. The computing of data takes place near the ‘edge’ of a network, where the data is being developed, instead of in a centralized data-processing center. On-device processing results in faster performance and response time, lower latency, power efficiency, improved security by retaining data on the device, and cost savings by minimizing data center transports. With a passive cooling enclosure design, the FZ5 EdgeBoard AI Box is capable of operating quietly in temperature ranging from -40°C to +70°C.
The FZ5 EdgeBoard AI Box is using Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ ZU5EV MPSoC solution. The ZU5EV device features a 1.5 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 64-bit application processor, a 600MHz dual-core real-time ARM Cortex-R5 processor, a Mali400 embedded GPU, a H.264/H.265 Video Codec Unit (VCU) and rich FPGA fabric. The Box has a mainboard FZ5 Card inside with memory and storage capacities of 8GB DDR4, 32GB eMMC, 64MB QSPI Flash and 32KB EEPROM as well as a 32GB Micro SD card slot for extension. It has exposed rich peripheral interfaces to the Box enclosure including 4 x USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, RS232, RS485, CAN, Debug, HDMI Input and Mini DisplayPort (DP).
