Grinn GenioBoard Edge AI Single Board Computer
Grinn GenioBoard Edge AI Single Board Computer (SBC) is a compact, open‑hardware platform designed to streamline prototyping and accelerate development for AI‑driven embedded systems. Built around the Grinn GenioSOM‑510 or GenioSOM‑700 system‑on‑modules, this SBC offers flexibility in performance scaling while exposing all of the key interfaces needed for real‑world applications. The design emphasizes accessibility and ease of development, featuring a single‑cable USB interface for programming and console access, as well as a USB Type‑C® Power Delivery (PD) input supporting a wide 5V to 20V operating range. This makes the board ideal for desktop development setups, embedded product testing, and early‑stage prototyping workflows.
Engineered for advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI), vision, and multimedia workloads, the GenioBoard integrates dual CSI‑2 camera interfaces, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, and high‑speed expansion via M.2 Key M PCIe Gen2 for AI accelerators and M.2 Key E for Wi‑Fi®/BLUETOOTH® modules. It includes 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet (RGMII), USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, a 40‑pin Raspberry Pi HAT‑compatible header, and built‑in USB‑to‑UART bridges for debugging, all arranged in a standardized layout to ensure compatibility with off‑the‑shelf accessories and enclosures. With 4GB LPDDR4 RAM and 16GB eMMC storage, the board provides a solid foundation for running modern edge AI stacks, multimedia pipelines, and Internet of Things (IoT) frameworks.
Security‑critical use cases benefit from the onboard Infineon OPTIGA™ Trust M SLS32AIA010M hardware security module, which enables secure key storage, cryptographic acceleration, and trusted‑device authentication. Combined with industrial‑grade I/O, extensive documentation, and a modular approach based on the GenioSOM family, the Grinn GenioBoard serves as an ideal platform for designing custom carrier boards, validating edge AI concepts, and building production‑ready solutions across smart homes, industrial automation, computer vision, and advanced IoT applications.
