A compact, power-efficient Single Board Computer (SBC) and complete IoT platform engineered to run AI applications that require intense compute resources on devices at the edge. This complete AI acceleration system comes with the Voyager SDK which simplifies app development with connectivity and storage options to suit almost all use cases.

Key Benefits:

• SBC with integrated Metis AI accelerator: A single-board computer (SBC) based on a Metis AIPU with a four-lane PCIe connection to the CPU makes it possible to run high-performance inference tasks, suitable for running multi-stream and multi-model applications.
• Local compute for Edge/IoT devices: Compact form factor SBC for low system complexity. With exceptional energy efficiency, the Metis Compute Board is designed for devices at the Edge that require intense compute resources.
• ARM-based application processor: Powered by two quad-core ARM Cortex CPUs for general-purpose processing, the board is powerful enough to support nearly any use case, while ensuring compatibility with diverse application requirements.
• Abundant Memory:  16GB LPDDR4x dedicated to the CPU, and an added 4GB LPDDR4x for the Metis AIPU.
• Broad range of interfaces: Multiple connectivity options, including four USB ports, HDMI 2.0 port, and two gigabit LAN ports for networks and peripherals. Other interface capabilities include: UART, I2C, GPIO options make it simple to connect to and integrate with sensors and other peripherals.
• Complete development stack: Including a Board Support Package (BSP) and the Axelera Voyager SDK the Metis Compute Board makes a complete platform to accelerate deployment, reduce development overhead, and simplify system integration.
• Scalable platform: The Metis platform is designed to be adaptable to evolving AI needs. With its unique architecture based on RISC-V and D-IMC (digital in-memory compute), Axelera AI’s model zoo is continuously evolving to support the latest and most demanding neural networks.

Easy To Integrate

The Metis SBC is designed as a complete system for effortless deployment. With a pre-configured Board Support Package (BSP) based on Yocto, it supports industry-standard frameworks and APIs, ensuring developers can hit the ground running. Complemented by the Voyager SDK, the board simplifies AI model deployment and optimization, enabling fast prototyping and reduced time-to-market. Whether you're running TensorFlow, PyTorch, or ONNX models, the Voyager SDK provides the tools you need to get started quickly and scale confidently.

The Metis Compute Board is expected to ship in June 2025.
