AXERA AX620A 4K AI SoC delivers up to 14.4 TOPS for computer vision applications

May 16, 2023May 16, 2023

AXERA AX620A is a high-performance, low-power AI SoC with a quad-core Arm Cortex-A7 processor and a 14.4TOPs @ INT4 or 3.6TOPs @ INT8’s NPU that is slightly inferior to the Amlogic A311D, and mainly used for AI vision applications.

With high computing power and built-in image processing capabilities, the AX620A can support a wide range of AI workloads. It also offers low power consumption with low standby power and fast wake-up, so the chip can be integrated into battery-powered products.

AXERA AX620A specifications:

AXERA has developed the AI ISP image processing technology in-house with the combination of the ISP and NPU improving the performance and features compared to more traditional ISPs. The AX620A’s AI ISP is said to achieve “excellent image quality” in low-light environments and does so that a low power consumption of around 1 Watt, and it may be integrated into other Edge AI chips. Let’s wait and see.

We found what appears to be the official AX620A development board in an article posted on Baidu which comes with 2GB RAM and 8GB eMMC flash and offers a range of ports including Gigabit Ethernet, two MIPI CSI interfaces, one MIPI DSI display interface up to 4Kp30, two relays, two RS485 interfaces, and more. What’s not shown in that article is software support, but AXERA’s GitHub, has some code with Pipeline examples of AX620A’s ISP, image, NPU, and other modules, as well as the sample code for computer vision. The AX620A SDK is based on Debian 11 Linux.

You may also visit the product page to get more information, but there are only a few details beyond the hardware specs.
