The Flagship AI Edge Controller for Demanding Applications
BL440 delivers 6x the NPU performance of previous ARMxy models, plus 8K video processing, dual Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.2, and M.2 NVMe expansion — purpose-built for advanced machine vision, multi-camera surveillance, and real-time AI inference.
6TOPS NPU · 6x AI Performance
Integrated NPU delivers 6 TOPS of AI compute power — 6x higher than RK3568-based models. Run YOLOv8, transformer models, and complex vision pipelines at the edge. Supports INT4/INT8/INT16/FP16/BF16/TF32 quantization.
8K/4K Video Codec
Hardware-accelerated 8K@30fps H.265 decoding and 4K@60fps H.265/H.264 encoding. Perfect for multi-camera surveillance, 8K digital signage, and high-resolution machine vision.
2x Gigabit Ethernet
Two 10/100/1000M adaptive ports + one 10/100M port on 3-port models. Industrial-grade ESD/EFT Level 3 protection. Support for network redundancy, port bonding, and separate industrial control networks.
Octa-Core RK3576
8nm process, 4x Cortex-A72 (up to 2.2GHz) + 4x Cortex-A53 (up to 2.0GHz) + 400MHz Cortex-M0. 64-bit architecture with 16/32/64GB eMMC and 2/4/8GB LPDDR4X. M.2 NVMe SSD expansion.
Modular Architecture
39,942 Factory-Built I/O Combinations
5 SOM boards × 19 X boards × 30+ Y boards × 3 wireless options = 39,942 possible configurations. Order your exact combination — we assemble and test before shipping.

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 — 6x AI Performance
Flagship Edge AI Inference
BL440 integrates a powerful neural processing unit (NPU) delivering 6 TOPS (trillion operations per second) — 6x the compute of RK3568-based models. Run transformer models, multi-stream YOLO inference, and complex vision pipelines entirely at the edge.
BL440 combines high-speed networking with real-time control interfaces
2x Gigabit Ethernet
Dual 10/100/1000M adaptive ports with industrial ESD/EFT Level 3 protection. Support for port bonding, network redundancy, and isolated industrial control networks.
Real-Time Control
