Iot AI Development Kit ----Qualcomm RB3 Gen 2 development kit

Qualcomm® RB3 Gen 2 Development Kit 

Iot development kit designed for high performance computing, high ease of use

Qualcomm® RB3 Gen 2 development kit has advanced features and powerful performance, including powerful AI computing, 12 TOPS computing power and computer graphics processing capabilities, to easily create a wide range of iot solutions covering robotics, enterprise, industrial and automation scenarios.

Qualcomm® RB3 Gen 2 development kit supports Qualcomm® Linux®, a comprehensive operating system, software, tools and documentation package designed specifically for Qualcomm Technologies iot platforms.

Based on the Qualcomm® QCS6490 platform, the Qualcomm® RB3 Gen 2 development Kit provides developers with significantly enhanced AI processing power, higher reasoning times per second, increased energy efficiency, and the ability to run more networks simultaneously than previous generations. Machine learning on the device, combined with edge computing, can process large amounts of data in near real time.


The platform includes development kits and software. Developers can choose the version of the development kit that best meets their needs and design iot products that require advanced performance. The platform also includes an SDK that makes it easy for developers to use and integrate application processes and services. The hardware development kit also complies with the 96Boards open hardware specification and supports a range of sandwich board extensions based on Vision Mezzanine.


The platform includes a Qualcomm® Spectra™ ISP 570L image processing engine that delivers the ultimate photography and videography experience, with a main camera and a tracking camera on the vision suite. It can connect and process the output of other cameras, such as stereo cameras, depth cameras, and ToF cameras. The Qualcomm® Adreno™ 633 VPU provides high-quality UltraHD video encoding and decoding, while the Adreno 1075 DPU supports in-device and external UltraHD display.


Multi-gigabit Wi-Fi 6E enables extremely fast wireless connections and low latency. Our Wi-Fi 6E products leverage advanced features such as Qualcomm® 4K Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and support high-speed 160MHz channels to achieve gigabits per second speeds with superior stability and a consistent experience.


Using Qualcomm® Kryo™ 670 cpus and Qualcomm® Hexagon™ processors with converged AI accelerator architecture, the solution delivers powerful connectivity and compute performance and is designed for industrial and commercial iot applications, such as ruggedised handhelds and tablets. Human-machine interface systems, POS systems, drones, kiosks, edge computing boxes, and connected cameras.
