Overview
The Kendryte K210 is a system-on-chip (SoC) that integrates machine vision and
machine hearing. Using TSMC’s ultra-low-power 28-nm advanced process with dual-
core 64-bit processors for better power efficiency, stability and reliability. The
SoC strives for ”zero threshold” development and to be deployable in the user’s
products in the shortest possible time, giving the product artificial intelligence.
Kendryte K210 is intended for the AI and IoT markets, but is also a high-performance
MCU.
Kendryte in Chinese means researching intelligence. The main application field of
this chip is in the field of Internet of Things. The chip provides AI solutions to
add intelligence to this.
