Development Board Overviewβ
NE300-MB01 is the high-performance development board that powers the NeoEyes NE300 series AI cameras. The reference design combines STM32U0 + STM32N6 MCUs with an ultra-low-power architecture capable of both video and still-image inference. It supports a wide set of trigger sensors for image capture and edge AI pipelines, enabling developers to quickly build proofs of concept and custom IoT camera applications spanning smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, security, and wildlife observation.
Key Featuresβ
Ultra-low-power orchestration
STM32U0 manages the power tree and monitors the attached sensors, waking the full system from deep sleep only when needed.
Support for multiple optics
- OS04C10 CSI camera module
- USB camera modules
- Swappable lenses with different focal lengths and FOVs to match each deployment
Flexible connectivity
- On-board Wi-Fi 6
- Optional Cat-1 cellular module
Rich IO resources
- 16 + 12-pin GPIO expansion headers
- USB Type-C for power and debugging
- TF card slot for removable storage
- Alarm/trigger input header
Modular design
Communication, camera, and power modules can be swapped or upgraded independently.
Open hardware architecture
The reference schematics and connectors simplify customization for vertical solutions.
