AkidaTag is BrainChip’s ultra-low-power AIoT platform: a Nordic nRF5340 microcontroller and a
BrainChip Akida AKD1500 neural processor on one board, with a microphone, an inertial sensor and
Bluetooth Low Energy. The AI model runs on the board itself, and the board reports to the
BrainChip Connect app on your phone.
