From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's also mentioned here that it's based on Xilinx IP, so it's very likely some sort of FPGA to accelerate matrix multiplications and convolutions usually found in neural networks (likely similar to Tensor/Matrix cores found in Nvidia Turing (or later) GPUs and AMD's recent Instinct GPUs, or Google's "Edge TPU" that is included in the Tensor chips of recent Pixel phones). So it's unlikely it has any dedicated memory.
