Yahboom K210 Developer Kit with AI Vision RISC-V Face Recognition Camera Robot Development Board Expansion Board The Beginning of Visual Development

I got bought this to help me learn about A.I. and coding and so far i like it a lot very good teaching board and I hope to add it on my Pi Tank here soon.

It worked fine until it didn't. I don't know why but it had a bad firmware flash. Now it's stuck in some boot loop that is unrecoverable. There is ZERO support forums, it's a waste of $50.

Esta tarjeta la adquirí en el año 2021, recién salida al mercado. y no fue sino hasta el año 2023 cuando pude llevar a cabo experiencias con ella ya que, inicialmente, las actividades que realizaba estaban elaboradas en lenguaje C y su desarrollo era engorroso, en especial por las IDE que utilizaba para su programación. A partir de 2023, Yahboom mejoró su documentación e incorporó el desarrollo de aplicaciones con micropython, cuya plataforma fue creada por los fabricantes del microcontrolador K210 (Canaan Creative - Kendryte). Ahora, las aplicaciones de procesamiento de video, imágenes, sonido e inteligencia artificial son muy estables y ofrecen un mundo de posibilidades. Esta disposición de la K210 es la mejor ya que aprovecha al máximo las prestaciones del microcontrolador, permite el acceso a todos los pines de la misma, al manejo de sonido por su micrófono y altavoz incorporados, y el uso de su pantalla táctil capacitiva. Aquí les dejo un desarrollo consolidado con un robot basado en Raspberry Pi Pico W para reconocimiento de color.

This device is awesome because it is based on a K210 dual core Risc V processor. The Risc V processor is unique open source hardware. It has only recently begun to be available to consumers and is still in an early phase of development. It is more for exploring and learning what you might do with a Risc V board than it is a finished product.This product is not for the technically faint of heart, which should be clear because it is a "development board" which means single board computer where you figure out what to do with it. If you have never used a single board computer before (SBC) go get a Raspberry Pi and come back to this product when you have more experience.Yahboom tries to make this board as accessible as possible, but to quote Yoda "There is no try". When you get it you are directed to their website and a bunch of downloads. I'll save you some time. They don't work described. And the manual is written in some language that sort of looks like English but I think its really a Chinese dialect with an English alphabet.My suggestion:1. Follow their instructions for the initial test and make sure that the camera and other features are working.2. Ignore their instructions for installing the drivers. First go to Device Manager in your PC (if you aren't using Windows 10 I can't help you) and look for a serial com device driver that is not recognized. Uninstall that if there is one.3. Google "ch341ser.exe". Download that. Do NOT use the ch341ser.exe in their tools folder - it does not work. Run ch341.exe that you download from the repository. The page I got mine from was all in chinese and the only thing on it I recognized was the file name. There is a possibility in Windows 10 that you might have to turn off "check driver signing". The way you do that is: hold down shift key while hitting restart. It will reboot you to a troubleshooting screen. Select the option to troubleshoot. A screen will come up that will instruct you how to turn off check driver signing (press F7 and reboot.) You may need to do this; I had to. Also I recommend when you run ch341ser.exe that you right click on it and select "Run as Administrator". My Windows 10 computer was very finicky about running any version of this driver.4. Go back to Device Manager and locate the serial port. In mine it shows ch341 on port 5.5. Then follow the Yahboom directions for flashing the software. You'll need to manually point the communications port to the serial port identified in your device manager.Once you've done that you will have the basic software installed on your device.I have been learning about and experimenting with single board computers. Software developed for other similar boards may work on this which is what made me go look for different drivers when the Yahboom supplied ones didn't work. The screen works well, and the camera, gyroscope and mic are interesting features that open a lot of possibilities. I'm guessing that over time there will be a community of users and developers around the Risc V processor who will open up a world of possibilities. It's still early in the lifecycle so the full ecosystem is yet undeveloped. That's why the Raspberry Pi is a good place to start with an SBC. The ecosystem is well established. It will also give you a better understanding how to use this Yahboom device and others like it.

I went online to view their online guide which is much more in-depth and has links to sample code and drivers.⚫ The two basics you need are the USB drivers and k-flash to flash code to the board. The driver seems to be originally coded in China, and there are some Unicode differences between the parenthesis they used and the one we use in the US. I had to change the directory name to get the installation to work, but it worked. That being said:⚫ They really ought to have provided a USB or MicroSD with all the resources you need. Beyond the USB driver, k-flash, and their sample code, you also need to get the SDK, CMake, and other utilities to start coding for the board. It was a little annoying to chase all the resources, although not difficult.All in all, to get the board going with their sample code is a roughly 10-minute endeavor. Coding your own functionality is a whole different beast. I'm used to doing ML work in Python and this seems to be all C, so going to need to do a lot of polishing up. This is a pretty good dev kit for those who know what they're doing.

Purchased this item to develop a RISCV forth compiler. Would need to have documentation for the processor cores and registers and peripheral devices but thats classified information and not being released to the public.this makes this product UTTERLY UNSUITED TO THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS PURCHASED.Unless you want to be doing nothing but hello world or canned examples dont bother with this, there is no documentation available for it just marketing wank
