Aikri QCS8550: Aikri-85X-50LD-8-4

The Aikri 8550 smart camera dev kit is powered by Qualcomm®’s QCS8550 based Aikri System on Module(SoM). This LGA SoM integrates an ARM Cortex-X3 based Octa-Core Kryo CPU, Adreno 740 GPU, Hexagon DSP/HTP with HVX and HMX and Spectra ISP with cognitive triple 18-bit ISPs to provide very high edge AI processing capabilities.
The Aikri 8550 SoM, with multiple camera and display interfaces provides concurrent processing capabilities of multiple video streams up to 4K120 decode/encode to enable smart camera use-cases on this dev kit. The Aikri 8550 dev kit enables OEMs and engineers to evaluate performance of QCS8550 and create next-gen designs with the shortest turnaround time, while minimizing design risk factors. It is an ideal choice to kick-start development of applications including Autonomous robots, Edge AI gateways, Retail, Video collaboration, Healthcare, Industrial drones etc.
