The ALC-4096-AIH enables the intelligent display, an LCD controller with the addition of an AI accelerator and a compute module. The board also includes a selection of IO pins for sensors and other data input as well as two CIS ports for camera input. This is a developing project and an ongoing initiative for Digital View.
