Good performance, docs need work
The NPU is fast for object detection. Documentation could be more detailed for beginners but hardware is solid.

Good value for money
Affordable way to learn about RISC-V and machine vision. Shipping was fast but setup took some time.

Impressed with K230 chip
The inference speed is surprising for this price point. Highly recommended for vision tasks and learning.
Q: Does it have WiFi built-in?
A: No, this board focuses on vision processing. WiFi requires an external module via UART or SPI.
Q: What camera modules are compatible?
A: It works with standard DVP and MIPI CSI cameras, including the OV5640 and GC2145.
Q: Is Windows supported for the IDE?
A: Yes, the CanMV IDE is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.
Q: Does this support OpenCV?
A: It supports a subset of OpenCV functions optimized for the K230 NPU via the CanMV IDE.
Q: Can I power this with a battery?
A: Yes, you can connect a 5V regulated battery source to the GPIO pins or use a USB power bank.
