The Qualcomm Flight Pro Development Board targets the drone and robotics development community and is based on the powerful Snapdragon 820, with its high-end imaging and signal processing capabilities. The new Qualcomm Flight Pro board is smaller than a credit card (75x36mm) and brings together photography, video, navigation, and communication technologies on a single board.
The Development Board option sold here is meant for people who already have the Development Kit and need additional boards. It does not include the power supply, cables, and debug accessories.
