Hardware Architecture¶

From an architectural perspective, an AIoT node can be divided into the following main subsystems:

• Main Control Module: Responsible for control and coordination
• Perception Module: Responsible for environmental perception and data collection
• Communication Module: Responsible for data transmission and network connection
• Execution Module: Responsible for executing specific tasks and operations
• Power Module: Responsible for providing stable power supply to each module

Software Architecture¶

From a software architecture perspective, an AIoT node can be divided into the following main layers:

• Hardware Layer: Various physical hardware components
• Driver Layer: Hardware drivers
• Middleware: Provides common functions and services
• Application Layer: Specific applications and services
