&gt;What does that kind of hardware for CV primitives have to do with deep learning?<p>They have hardware convolutions on 12 SHAVE cores (kind of a DSP core). It means that the chip can run some useful subset of convolutional neural networks very fast and energy efficient.<p>They also have 2 general purpose SPARC cores, which allows you to have a &quot;normal&quot; program running there. Not sure, how locked the USB stick going to be, and if running your custom program would be an option.<p>&gt;How do I connect my camera?
The chip itself has a couple of MIPI lanes. The USB stick likely does not expose that. And I agree, that&#x27;s suboptimal.
