Will be interested to see what their developer kit looks like when (and if) they release it.

I've been experimenting with the BeagleY-AI to build a little edge AI gizmo with a camera (Texas Insturments SoC + 4 TOPS NPU in RPi 5 form factor)

That's cool, any success stories, challenges or other feedback you can share?

I've only heard of people using Coral PCIe / USB for edge image AI processing tasks like classifying subjects in a stream. Curious if you have the same use case or something different!

I'm trying to make a DIY security camera that can run local models, and stream video over wifi.

The TI SDK makes it easy to run demos but making any custom apps quickly gets complicated unless you are familiar with embedded Linux dev, Yocto, etc. Certainly much more complex than iOS/Android.

Hopefully over time the tools for embedded can catch up to mobile.
