The DAB Embedded CAMKIT-AML302-IMX462, is a compact AI camera kit built around the Amlogic C302X processor with 256MB DDR3 on-chip (SiP) and designed for image processing and machine learning applications. The board also includes GMSL2 interfaces that add support for a range of Sony camera sensors, including global shutter and 3D options. Additionally, it has 100Mbit LAN, Wi-Fi, BLE, and CAN bus connectivity which makes this board useful for various computer vision applications.
Previously we have written about similar camera kits including the Pivistation 5, the OpenCV AI Kit Lite, the e-con Systems 360° Camera Kit, and much more Feel free to check those out if you are interested in the topic.

The Amlogic C302X board does not feature an audio out port or a 3.5mm jack that we are used to seeing on most development boards, instead, the audio is transmitted via the GMSL2 connectors that not only transmit video signals it also enables bidirectional audio transmission over the same coaxial cable or shielded twisted pair cable as the video signal.
In terms of software, the device runs a custom Linux 5.15.78 operating system built with Buildroot and also offers a Fastboot interface for advanced configuration and flashing. Additional software includes BlueZ for Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity, Wi-Fi, and an SDK with OpenCV hardware acceleration for image processing and NN API for neural network tasks like face recognition. However, the company doesn’t have anything remotely related to the camera kit on its GitHub account.
The camera kit is priced at €650 (approximately $710), but the company does not have an official online store. To order, you need to email them; More details can be found on the product page, where you’ll also find a product brief.
