Corazon-AI: Edge AI Platform

Welcome innovators!

AI has been the key factor enabling cities in their quest to become smart. In fact, edge computing has made a significant impact in enabling instantaneous real-time decisions on the edge. Corazon-AI with its innovative FPGA-based architecture helps bring your innovations to life.

Corazon-AI is an EdgeAI platform built on a highly adaptive Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC device. It features Arm + FPGA architecture and integrates Xilinx Vitis AI Stack built on a Pico ITX form factor (100mm x 72mm). With the provision to connect 8 IP cameras and support for multiple connectivity options, Corazon-AI becomes an ideal fit for Edge AI Gateways bringing intelligence to the edge.

Corazon-AI is the ideal platform to jump-start your AI application development and transform your ideas into reality.
