ALPACA - the powerful Linux platform
We are proud to announce a significant milestone in our technology roadmap. After months of development, testing, and refinement, E.D.&A. today launches ALPACA (Advanced Linux Platform for AI Capable Applications): our brand-new Linux-based platform that is shaping the future of embedded controls with EdgeAI.
With built-in EdgeAI functionality and a flexible, modular architecture, ALPACA drastically shortens the time-to-market and enables applications such as predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, speech recognition, sensor fusion, and more.
Why choose ALPACA instead of a SoM (System on Module)?
- Faster time-to-market thanks to a powerful, ready-to-use platform that integrates seamlessly into the custom-made electronics of your machine or device.
- No standard SoM (System on Module) required — full control over component selection and lifecycle, ensuring long-term availability.
- Lower costs by eliminating unnecessary functionalities and maximizing integration.
- EdgeAI included — enabling predictive maintenance and intelligent analytics at no extra cost.
- Fully customizable dimensions — no limitations imposed by standard form factors.
Technical strength in detail
- ARM® Dual Cortex?A55 @ 1.7 GHz + Cortex-M33 @ 250 MHz
- Neural Processing Unit for AI applications
- LPDDR4X SDRAM
- Support for high-resolution touchscreens, cameras, IoT connectivity
With ALPACA, you choose speed and intelligence in one powerful platform.
