Data Processing Unit

Compact AI compute module for CuberSats and
small satellite missions

Designed for CubeSat-class platforms, the unit supports CAN, I²C, SPI, LVDS, and RS-232 interfaces. Fully compatible with ProtoSDK, it enables fast, low-friction deployment of AI models to FPGA hardware.

Key Features

Onboard AI Capabilities

Run AI models onboard for real-time inference and detection.

Modular and Standardized

PC/104 form factor for easy CubeSat integration and stacking.

Low-Power, High-Performance

Optimized for efficient processing in compact, power-limited platforms.

FPGA Acceleration

Kria K26 (Zynq UltraScale+) enables software-defined hardware acceleration.

From Lab to Orbit

Currently in development, the DPU is built for space-readiness—combining prototyping agility with a clear path to flight qualification.
