Agreed! What I really want to know from any hardware accelerator is:

* What can it accelerate?

* What software supports it (and what's the state of driver support)?

* How much faster or more power efficient is it vs CPU/GPU?

* How exactly do I use it? (Okay, I buy the thing, it arrives in a box, I plug it in... what exact steps do I take to get to running real workloads on it?)



There's about two 240p object detection demo videos with source code, one picture object detection demo, a bunch of forum posts with incomplete code about some audio processing, and they're all about a different SBC. Software wise, there's not much to it, you're on your own.
