Overview
The CanMV-K230 development board is based on the latest-generation K230 series AIoT SoC from Canaan Technology's Kendryte® AIoT chip family. The chip adopts a new multi-heterogeneous-unit accelerated computing architecture, integrating 2 high-efficiency RISC-V compute cores and a next-generation KPU (Knowledge Process Unit) for multi-precision AI computing. It widely supports general AI computing frameworks, with utilization exceeding 70% on some typical networks.
The chip also supports rich peripheral interfaces and integrates dedicated hardware acceleration units such as 2D and 2.5D engines, enabling acceleration of image, video, audio, and AI workloads with low latency, high performance, low power consumption, and fast boot.
