Libre Computer Alta (AML-A311D-CC)

Alta is Libre Computer’s A311D board for edge AI and vision. Pre-orders opened in November 2023, and boards shipped from late November. Its NPU runs under mainline Mesa through the Teflon TensorFlow Lite delegate. Mainline Linux has supported it since 6.7, and support runs until 2053.
