Alif Semiconductor Balletto B1 DevKit & StartKit
Alif Semiconductor Balletto B1 DevKit and StartKit enable evaluation of the Balletto B1 MCUs. The B1 MCU features an Arm® Cortex® M-55 CPU core with Helium-M Vector Extension, operating at 160MHz. The MCU provides an Ethos-U55 neural network processor core with 128 MACs per cycle, 2MB of SRAM, and 1.8MB of NVM. Off-chip OSPI flash and PSRAM memory devices (64MB and 32MB, respectively) and a variety of digital/analog interfaces are included. The B1 MCU also offers a BLUETOOTH® LE 5.3 + 802.15.4 radio subsystem with a chip antenna.
The Balletto B1 DevKit (DK-B1) is a cost-effective, single-board platform that exposes all signals on the Balletto B1 MCU, making it easy to access power and performance profiling, prototyping, and more. The DK-B1 includes the BLE RF path and an antenna. Several pre-built applications are available on the DevKit platform to help users get started quickly.
The Balletto B1 StartKit (SK-B1) provides access to all pins for easy prototyping of user projects. Two microphones and a camera module are on board, plus one of hundreds of available mikroBUS™ click boards may be attached. SK-B1 includes the BLE RF path with an antenna.
