8 TOPS of AI compute on the board

A 4-core 64-bit processor paired with a dedicated AI processor puts CPU, inference, ISP and graphics output on one board. That is enough headroom for object recognition, image classification and similar accelerated workloads to run locally, which shortens the development loop and removes the cost of a separate accelerator.

8GB or 16GB of RAM to suit different users

Choose the memory that matches the workload: 8GB for teaching benches and prototypes, 16GB where models and frame buffers get large. Both run LPDDR4X at 3200Mbps, so heavier multi-process applications stay responsive.

Rich interfaces, easy to expand

MIPI DSI and dual MIPI CSI, USB 3.0 and Type-C 3.0, two HDMI 2.0 outputs, Gigabit Ethernet and an M.2 slot taking a 2280 SATA or NVMe SSD. Together they cover external device control and expansion without an add-on board.

Supports M.2 2280 SATA / NVMe SSD for massive capacity

The onboard M.2 interface accepts a 2280 SATA or NVMe drive, adding fast, high-capacity local storage for datasets, model weights and logs rather than leaning on a microSD card. An eMMC module from 32GB up to 256GB can be fitted alongside it.

Multi-channel output, support multi-screen heterodyne display

Dual HDMI video output at 4K, one MIPI DSI video output and two MIPI camera inputs. Each display can show something different rather than mirroring, so a single board drives an operator screen, a signage panel and a camera rig at the same time.

Wide range of application scenarios

AI teaching and training, AI algorithm verification, intelligent carts and robotic arms, edge computing, drones, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, AR and VR, intelligent security, smart home and intelligent transport. In Pakistan we see it most often on university benches and in departmental research labs.

Getting started quickly

The board ships with the MindStudio full-process development toolchain, a one-key image burning tool and a model adaptation tool, so a team can go from an unboxed board to a running model without building a toolchain first. Ubuntu and openEuler are both supported.

About the OrangePi AIpro (8T)

OrangePi AIpro (8T) uses a 4-core 64-bit processor plus an AI processor with integrated graphics, supports 8 TOPS of AI computing power, carries 8GB or 16GB of LPDDR4X, can be connected to an external 32GB, 64GB, 128GB or 256GB eMMC module, and supports dual 4K HD output.

The board carries a fairly rich set of interfaces: two HDMI outputs, a 40-pin GPIO header, a Type-C power connector, an M.2 slot supporting a 2280 SATA or NVMe SSD, a MicroSD slot, a Gigabit LAN port, two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 3.0 Type-C, one Micro USB for serial print debugging, two MIPI cameras, one MIPI screen output and a reserved battery interface.

Ubuntu and openEuler are both supported, which meets the needs of most AI algorithm prototyping and inference application development. We hold the board in local stock in Pakistan with warranty and setup support.

Notes

1. Product batches and supply change in real time, so the specification above may be revised. Please confirm against the actual product on the day of sale.

2. The board's compute range is 8 TOPS to 12 TOPS and the exact figure varies slightly between chips. Once sold, the board is not returned or exchanged on the basis of that variation.
