Coralboard™ for Edge AI

Synaptics Coralboard SL is an edge AI development board manufactured by Grinn for Synaptics and developed in partnership with Google Research as the next generation of the Coral platform. Built around the Grinn AstraSOM-261x system-on-module (SoM) featuring the Synaptics Astra SL2619 edge AI processor and Torq™ AI engine with the industry’s first production implementation of the Coral NPU, Coralboard gives developers a practical starting point for rapid prototyping, product evaluation, and production-oriented edge AI development.

Synaptics Coralboard SL is designed to accelerate development from an AI concept to a deployable intelligent device. With full NPU offload, developers can run AI workloads efficiently while freeing high-frequency CPU cores for application orchestration, agentic workloads, and device software stacks. An open-source edge AI compiler based on the industry-standard multi-level intermediate representation (MLIR) framework gives teams a more accessible path to model deployment, while the platform’s low-power design supports always-available, on-device ambient AI experiences.

Synaptics Coralboard SL is intended for embedded developers, AI/ML engineers, system architects, product teams, and device manufacturers building the next generation of intelligent edge products. Teams can begin with the development board for evaluation and rapid prototyping, move to the Grinn AstraSOM-261x SoM for product prototyping and integration, and scale to full-production designs using the Synaptics Astra SL2619 edge AI processor. This flexible path helps customers explore real-world AI workloads, validate product concepts, and move from experimentation to production using a common edge AI technology foundation.
