## AI overview

Avaota F2 is an open-source camera board built around Allwinner's V861 RISC-V SoC. It supports Full HD and 4K camera sensors, PTZ motor control, H.264/H.265 video encoding, and audio connectors, with a 1 TOPS AI accelerator. Unlike the earlier F1, it does not include Wi-Fi. The board is available for $51.59, and the article notes that software details are limited while the developer's SDK tutorials are currently available only in Chinese.

## Source excerpt

Avaota F2 is the first SBC based on an Allwinner V861 dual-core 64-bit RISC-V SoC with 128MB on-chip DDR3 memory, support for 4K cameras, H.265 video codec, and a 1 TOPS AI accelerator. It's an update to the earlier Avaota F1 camera board based on an Allwinner V821 SoC. The new open-source hardware F2 SBC offers several benefits, including support for both Full HD and 4K camera sensors, motor control for the PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) feature, and improved audio support through speaker (one) and microphone (two) connectors. However, the F1 also included WiFi, which the Avaota F2 lacks.
