Selection Note: When Y63 (4x RS485/232) is selected, this Y-board occupies the slot exclusively — no second Y-board can be selected. Plan your serial port requirements accordingly.
All I/O boards are carefully selected and assembled before delivery — plug and use.
6TOPS NPU — Flagship AI Performance
Run Complex AI Models at the Edge
BL450 integrates a powerful neural processing unit (NPU) delivering 6 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of AI compute power — same as BL440, but with significantly higher CPU performance from Cortex-A76 cores. Run transformer models, multi-stream YOLO inference, and complex vision pipelines entirely at the edge.
