Grove AI HAT Helps Raspberry Pi Run Edge Computing Workloads

Last year we wrote about Kendryte K210 dual core RISC-V processor specifically designed for for machine vision and machine hearing as well as the corresponding Kendryte KD233 which enables inference at the edge, e.g. Latter on we found the processor in Sipeed M1 module which went for as low as $5 in a crowdfunding campaign, and was fitted to some low cost boards now selling for $12.90 on Seeed Studio. The latter company has now designed Grove AI HAT that aims to assist Raspberry Pi in running the edge computing workloads previously described, as exposes 6 Grove interfaces to extend functionality with some of the Grove add-on modules. The board can either be used in conjunction with a Raspberry Pi board, or in standalone via a USB-C cable. It supports the baremetal Kendryte Standalone SDK, as well as ArduinoCore K210 for the Arduino IDE working in Linux, Windows, and Mac OS meaning it's possible to leverage the Grove Arduino libraries and other Arduino libraries on this board.
