What happened
Synaptics made Coralboard SL generally available through DigiKey, with the board built around an Astra SL2619 processor and a 1 TOPS Torq/Coral NPU.S1 The processor combines two Arm Cortex-A55 application cores operating at up to 2GHz and one Cortex-M52 processor.S1 Its supported Coral technology was developed through Synaptics' collaboration with Google Research.S1
Synaptics also introduced Coralboard SR, which uses an Astra SR250-series processor from the SR200 family.S1 This board pairs an Arm Cortex-M85 core operating at up to 800MHz, an additional Cortex-M52 and a Torq/Coral NPU rated at 400 GOPS.S1 The source did not confirm immediate worldwide ordering through DigiKey for SR.S1
Both boards use the open-source Torq compiler and runtime, while their hardware configurations remain different.S1 SL includes 2GB of DDR4 memory, NOR flash, a microSD interface, CSI, DSI, USB, Qwiic, mikroBUS and an M.2 expansion slot.S1 SR supports up to 8MB of integrated SRAM and up to 256MB of custom high-bandwidth DRAM, along with camera, display, image-signal-processing and digital-microphone resources.S1
| Metric | Reported value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| SL NPU capacity | 1 TOPS | S1 |
| SR NPU capacity | 400 GOPS | S1 |
| SL memory | 2GB DDR4 | S1 |
| Selected Gemma output rate | Approximately 12 to 16 generated tokens per second | S1 |
Background timeline
XAIPART take
Technical impact
XAIPART analysis: Engineering teams should treat 1 TOPS and 400 GOPS as accelerator peaks rather than application throughput. Model precision, supported operators, memory transfers and preprocessing or decoding determine achievable latency.
XAIPART analysis: Portability should be tested at the operator, numerical-precision and memory-footprint levels because the shared Torq toolchain does not make SL and SR interchangeable. Representative sensor and audio pipelines must be benchmarked rather than isolated model runs.
Market impact
XAIPART analysis: SL's immediate DigiKey ordering gives procurement teams an acquisition route, while the absence of confirmed ordering for SR limits supply-chain planning for that option. The source did not disclose prices, lead times or production quantities.
XAIPART analysis: Buyers should preserve platform flexibility until operating-system, memory and peripheral requirements are settled; neither development board automatically defines a production module or validated end equipment.
Action
XAIPART analysis: Request DigiKey quotation and availability data for Coralboard SL, then map required camera, storage, networking and expansion interfaces against its board resources. Track SR commercial terms separately rather than assuming launch equals orderability.
XAIPART analysis: Evaluate representative inference workloads using intended quantization settings, then budget for power delivery, thermal design, electromagnetic compatibility and production conversion. The development kit does not establish production readiness.
XAIPART Forecast
XAIPART analysis: XAIPART expects a published lead time for Coralboard SR within 6 months of the announcement; if Synaptics or DigiKey does not disclose a lead time of 12 weeks or less by , this forecast is wrong.XAIPART analysis
Facts are as reported by the cited source. The design-in, sourcing and forward-looking statements above are XAIPART's analysis, not the source's claims. This is a single-source report, and SR availability, pricing and lead time remain unconfirmed.
Corrections: none at publication. This brief will be updated with a timestamp if the source corrects its report.
