SOPHON BM1684/BM1684X Edge AI computer delivers up to 32 TOPS, decodes up to 32 Full HD videos simultaneously
The BM1684(X) SoCs are equipped with eight Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2.3 GHz to run Linux, and the systems come with up to 16GB RAM, 128GB flash, two Gigabit Ethernet ports to receive the video streams, one HDMI output up to 1080p30 for monitoring, as well as RS232 and RS485 DB9 connectors, and a few USB ports.
Firefly’s latest Edge AI computers run Linux, but the Wiki has not been updated yet. However, the Wiki for the earlier EC-A1684JD4 model is up and we can see the Sophon3 SDK relies on Debian 9, and an Ubuntu 20.04 image is said to be coming soon.
