The board is powered by the WCH CH32V317WCU6, a RISC-V microcontroller capable of running at up to 144MHz. The chip features a USB 2.0 high-speed controller alongside a full-speed controller, a 10/100M Ethernet MAC with a physical layer transceiver, SDIO support, DVP for digital video input, and advanced motor PWM timers.
The September 20th release of DietPi v9.17 introduces smaller and more efficient system images, faster backups with reduced disk usage, and a new toggle for Roon Server’s early access builds. The update also addresses SPI bootloader flashing issues on Rockchip devices, improves Raspberry Pi sound card handling, and includes multiple bug fixes across tools and software.
The EdgeXpert achieves up to 1000 AI TOPS at FP4 precision with sparsity and can scale higher using FP8 data formats. It integrates 128 GB of unified LPDDR5x memory on a 256-bit interface, offering 273 GB/s bandwidth shared across the CPU and GPU.
The firmware supports protocols such as I²C, SPI, UART, 1-Wire, CAN, and JTAG, as well as infrared, smartcards, and USB device emulation. It also extends to wireless communication, enabling interaction with Sub-GHz radios, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID, and RF24 devices. A built-in scripting engine allows automation using Bus Pirate-style bytecode instructions or Python.
