We are so proud to announce the collaboration with Intel on UP Squared AI Vision Development Kit as an official AI Vision Accelerator powered by OpenVINO™ toolkit .
Ready to start you vision project?  The kit contains a UP Squared board powered by IntelAtom® x7-E3950 processor, 4GB memory, 64 GB eMMC with Ubuntu 16.04 image, an AI Core module, a UP HD camera, a fanless chassis and a power supply. Everything is pre-configured to use OpenVINO™ toolkit and it includes a clear tutorial to connect wide range cloud connectors such as Microsoft Azue, Amazon AWS  and Google. The kit is available at UP Shop for pre-order at $399 and will be launched on Kickstarter at promotional price €309 on 22nd of May.
What is OpenVINO™ toolkit  hardness the power of Intel® Processors: CPU, CPU with Integrated Graphics, VPU in one package. It brings great benefits to developers:

• Accelerate Performance: Access Intel computer vision accelerators. Speed code performance. Supports heterogeneous processing & Asynchronous execution.
• Integrate Deep learning: Unleash convolutional neural network (CNN) based deep learning inference across using a common API & 10 trained models
• speed development: Reduce time using a library of optimized OpenCV* & OpenVX* functions, 15+ samples. Develop once, deploy for current & future Intel-based devices.
• Innovate & customize: Use the increasing repository of OpenCL™ starting points in OpenCV* to add your own unique code.
