Chameleon96™

A 96Boards Consumer Edition Single Board Computer Based on Intel® Cyclone® V SoC

A powerful dual-core processor combined with flexible 110K LE FPGA in a small form factor SBC makes possible any custom project that requires computing capability, video processing, connectivity and artificial intelligence blocks.

"Chameleon | cha - me - leon | : able to change how it presents itself to the world by adapting to the environment."

The Chameleon96™ board, based on Intel® Cyclone® V SoC FPGA, is a member of 96Boards community and complies with Consumer Edition board specifications. The Chameleon96™ meets all 96Boards mandatory specifications (excluding MIPI SDI Interface) and most optional specifications. The Chameleon96™ features Dual Arm® Cortex®-A9 processors and a set of peripherals allow direct interfacing and connecting to MMC/SD card, HDMI out, USB, WLAN and BLE. Two expansion connectors provide additional interfaces to cameras, USB, UARTs, I2C, SPI and GPIOs. The use of the FPGA fabric for the video processing allows development of custom IPU/GPU/VPU solutions on this platform.
