Overview

Designed for rapid deployment of edge AI vision models, the Sipeed MaixCAM-Pro combines multi-core compute and integrated hardware peripherals in an ultra-compact form factor. Powered by the Sophgo SG2002 SoC, this developer kit features a 1GHz 64-bit RISC-V C906 core (switchable with an optional ARM Cortex-A53 core) running Linux, a secondary 700MHz RISC-V core running RTOS, and an efficient 8051 low-power core. Upgraded from the base MaixCAM, the Sipeed MaixCAM-Pro adds a 2.4-inch 640x480 IPS capacitive touch display, an onboard 6-axis IMU, an AXP2101 power management IC, and an onboard BM8653 RTC with battery backup, making it an ideal standalone platform for vision AI prototyping and field robotics.

Please pay special attention to the product before purchase: with battery, without battery, the shell is not the same. The shell without BAT will be smaller, so subsequent installation of the lithium battery cannot be done.
