Unrelated to tinyVision.ai, the TinyVision development board is a computer vision board from Chinese developer YuzukiTsuru powered by either the Allwinner V851S or the V851S3 and is billed as an “ultimate all-in-one solution for Linux motherboards, IPCs, servers, routers, and more.”
It packs features such as a Cortex-A7 core running at 1200MHz, a 2-channel MIPI CSI input, and an independent image signal processor (ISP) capable of a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1440 in a compact form factor.
TinyVision specifications:
- Processor – Allwinner V851SE / V851s3 with
- Cortex-A7 core @ 1200MHz and RISC-V E907GC core @ 600MHz
- NPU: 0.5TOPS (tera operations per second) @ INT8 precision
- Memory – 64MB DDR2 (V851se), 128MB DDR3L (V851s3)
- Storage – MicroSD card slot (supports UHS-SDR104), onboard SD NAND via SPI
- Display – 2-lane MIPI DSI (1280 x 720 @ 60fps), RGB LCD (320 x 240 @ 60fps)
- Video Input
- ISP with a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1440, up to 4Mbps @ 30fps
- 10-bit Parallel CSI interface up to 4x 720p30
- 4-lane MIPI CSI input at 4Mbps @ 30 fps
- Video Codec
- Online video encoding support
- H.264/H.265 decoding @ 4096 x 4096 resolution
- H.264/H.265 encoding @ 3840×2160 @ 20fps
- USB – USB 2.0 DRD (Dual Role Device), combo USB and UART interface
- Network – 10M/100M Ethernet MAC
- Other Peripherals – 5x TWI/I2C, 4x UART, 4x SPI, 6x GPIO, 1-ch general-purpose analog-to-digital converter(GPADC), 11-channel PWM
- Security – TrustZone, Secure Boot, Crypto Engine, Security ID
- Real-Time – RTOS Support, based on RT-Thread + RTOS-HAL
- Dimensions – 30 x 30mm
The USB port on the device is Type-C but it is also described as USB 2.0, which is weird. Supporting modules include a USB-TTL splitter board that splits the USB-C port into USB and UART ports, an LCD display, a Wi-Fi module, a GC2053 camera, and an RJ45 connector.
TinyVision supports both Linux and a real-time operating system. It can run GNU/Linux operating systems such as OpenWrt 23.05, supports buildroot and mainline Linux 6.7, and offers RTOS support based on RT-Thread + RTOS-HAL. The board is open-source hardware. Schematics, bill of materials, and Gerber files can be found in the TinyVision GitHub repository.
The 64MB version of the board can be obtained for about $9 from AliExpress, with the 128MB board and certain modules also available for purchase. Further information about the TinyVision board can also be found on the YuzukiHD website.
