Highlights
Higher Performance with 8x ARM Cortex-A72 Cores
Aquila AM69 is based on the high-performing TI AM69 SoC. It offers up to eight Cortex-A72 cores at 2.0 GHz for maximum performance and two Cortex-R5F microcontroller cores. That makes the Aquila AM69 a perfect fit for high-performance edge computing.
Built for AI and Computer Vision Applications
The Aquila AM69 is ideal for building cutting-edge AI and computer vision systems. Leverage Toradex tooling on the software side and high-performing NPU, ISP, and VPU units on the hardware side for use cases demanding the highest performance.
High-Performance Machine Learning
Aquila AM69's integrated neural network processing unit (NPU) achieves 32 TOPS for fast inference times, outperforming CPU- and GPU-based solutions in the same power range several times. Toradex provides integration with popular machine learning frameworks, such as TensorFlow.
Industrial Reliability
Aquila is engineered for industrial reliability and a long-lasting lifetime. That is reflected in its brand new, rugged board-to-board connector (approx. 400 pins), making Aquila AM69 the right choice for mission-critical applications.
Hard Real-Time Ready
With a heterogeneous multicore architecture, Aquila AM69 also offers two ARM Cortex-R5 for complex real-time and safety-critical applications with extremely low latency.
Cost-Optimized and Power-Efficient
The Aquila AM69 SoM offers superior performance than x86 devices, with lower power consumption. It is also better cost-optimized than other proprietary GPU-accelerated hardware solutions while showing equivalent performance.
Torizon for Remote Updates, Remote Access and Monitoring
Aquila AM69 is available with a tightly integrated, Torizon Cloud accelerating the development and facilitating the maintenance of your products. Some key features include highly secure and reliable remote updates, fleet monitoring, and remote access.
Toradex Aquila Family
The Aquila AM69 is part of the Aquila family and pin-to-pin-compatible with the other Aquila SoMs. Designed for industrial reliability and unparalleled performance, Aquila is the perfect fit for demanding applications working in harsh environments.
Ready to Power the Next-Generation of On-Device AI
Aquila AM69 is equipped with a 32 TOPS NPU to power state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning applications. Its high-speed camera interfaces also allow multiple 4K camera streams for computer vision applications, with dedicated Image and Video processing units.
Toradex offers support for industry-standard tools and frameworks in the areas of Machine Learning and Computer Vision.

Operating Systems
Aquila AM69 comes with a free maintained Embedded Linux Operating System. You can either take our Reference Images based on the Yocto Project, or you can use Torizon OS. Torizon OS is also built with the Yocto Project but it is a ready-to-use Embedded Linux distribution. It is configurable for your custom carrier board via the simple to use TorizonCore Builder Tool. This enables developers to concentrate solely on their applications, without having to worry about the underlying operating system and low-level device drivers.
Torizon Embedded Linux OS
Torizon is a ready-to-use Linux-based software platform ideal for use in areas like industry and medicine, where reliability is critical. It is a developer-friendly ecosystem that simplifies the process of developing and maintaining embedded software..
Reference Images for Yocto Project
Toradex develops and maintains a Yocto Project-compatible, production-quality Embedded Linux BSP in-house.
