Synaptics Astra Machina SL2600 Development Kit, Now at Mouser, Enables Industrial, Smart, Healthcare, and Robotics Applications

May 27, 2026 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now stocking the new Astra™ Machina SL2600 development kit from Synaptics. The Astra Machina SL2600 is designed for easy and rapid prototyping of multimodal, AI-native, smart home, industrial, healthcare, robotics, and consumer IoT applications.

The Astra Machina SL2600 kit, available from Mouser, enables advanced Edge AI and visual intelligence by bringing multimodal, transformer-class inference directly onto embedded IoT hardware. This open and flexible development kit is built on the AI-native Synaptics Torq™ Edge AI platform, a high-performance, low-power Edge AI neural processing unit (NPU) subsystem. Torq is the industry's first implementation of Google's RISC-V–based Coral Open NPU with dynamic operator support, enabling efficient execution of modern AI models, including vision transformers and multimodal pipelines, without proprietary toolchains or model constraints. The Astra platform reduces software lock-in by centering its Edge AI stack (Torq) on mainstream open-source building blocks like Yocto Linux^®, and a non-proprietary compiler/runtime based on IREE/MLIR.

The SL2600 kit's modular hardware architecture features a configurable compute module, I/O baseboard, and expandable daughter cards to support rapid prototyping of real-world vision systems with integrated connectivity, programmable I/O, and production-aligned interfaces. The daughter card interface options include MIPI^® DSISM, MIPI CSI-2^®, a 40-pin JTAG header, and a 4-pin PoE+ connector.
