Description
Object recognition using Artificial Intelligence has never been this convenient ever before.
Sipeed MaixCube is an all-in-one development platform based on the M1n module which is
powered by the Kendryte K210 core. It is equipped with a camera, TF card slot, user
buttons, TFT display, lithium battery, speaker, microphone and an expansion interface. This
provides a great platform for everyone to start learning about AI development.
The KendryteK210 which acts as the main control chip for the MaixCube, is very powerful.
The module has a built-in 64-bit dual-core processor chip and 8M of on-chip SRAM. It has
outstanding performance in AI machine vision and Auditory applications. It has a variety of
hardware acceleration units such as KPU, FPU, FFT, etc. and the total computing power can
be up to 1TOPS, which can conveniently realize machine vision/hearing algorithms of
various application scenarios, and can also perform pre-processing work of voice scanning
and voice data output.
Users can use MaixCube to easily build a face recognition access control system.
A Wide Range of Sipeed Modules (SP‐MOD) Supported
Through the SP-MOD interface on the MaixCube which is a standard 2.54mm 2x4 Pin
female header, with Vcc, GND, and 6 signals, you can connect to various SP-MOD modules
and extend your AI projects further.

What is MaixPy?
Before getting to know about the MAIX product series, it is very necessary to understand
the MaixPy project. It can help you quickly use the Al module.
MaixPy is a project of porting Micropython to K210 chip (running Micropython parser on
K210), that is, users can finally control the function of K210 chip through Micropython
programming. For example, you can directly call the facial recognition algorithm built into
the firmware through Micropython programming, and finally generate a Micropython file,
which can be downloaded to the Flash chip, and run on it. In addition, MaixPy supports the
normal operation of MCU and integrates machine vision and microphone arrays to rapidly
develop intelligent applications in the field of AIoT with extremely low cost and
practicality.
What is the Development Environment on MaixCube?
By default, the development board has burned MaixPy firmware (the firmware source code
is open source and can be downloaded from Github). MaixPy has developed a variety of
functional libraries that developers can call directly. Maix series products use Maix IDE
developed by the Sipeed team. The software is free of installation. After downloading, you
can directly use MaixPy to use Micropython script syntax. Developers can edit the script on
the computer and upload it to the development board to execute the script directly on the
development board. The IDE can view camera images in real-time and save files to the
development board, which is very convenient for development.
In addition to MaixPyIDE, developers can also use ArduinoIDE, PIatformIO IDE and other
environments for development, please refer to our technical information for details.
