Qualcomm embedded IoT platform targets cutting-edge applications
The Snapdragon 820E platform is designed to support connected computing and multicore processing for computer vision, artificial intelligence, and immersive multimedia. The “all in one package” solution targets next-generation IoT applications such as virtual reality, digital signage, smart retail, robotics and more.
“We are excited to introduce the award-winning premium tier Snapdragon 820 platform series to our extended-life embedded portfolio, helping innovators everywhere create exciting and innovative IoT products,” says Jim Tran, senior vice president of product management, Qualcomm Technologies. “The Snapdragon 820E is a powerful and versatile embedded platform that is designed to support both complex connected computing and immersive visual graphics while providing the ultimate in performance and power efficiency that is ideal for small form factors and a wide variety of cutting-edge IoT applications.”
The Snapdragon 820E embedded platform features a 64-bit ARMv8-compliant quad-core Qualcomm Kryo CPU, which, the company says, is an ideal processor for building advanced systems with multi-core performance and immersive 3D graphics thanks to the Qualcomm Adreno 530 GPU and Qualcomm Hexagon 680 DSP. The embedded platform also supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, six-position location satellite systems, and high-quality multi-channel audio.
The Snapdragon 820E embedded platform is being made available globally by third-party distributors, initially through Arrow Electronics, for 10 years from commercial sample (until 2025). End customers and ecosystem participants can begin their evaluation with the Snapdragon 820E embedded platform using the new DragonBoard 820c development board – a 96Boards-compliant open hardware specification – offered by Arrow Electronics.
