AS732
AS732 is a QR-decode system-on-chip built around a 780 MHz dual Cortex-A5, with USB, serial and keyboard ports wired to the markets that matter — cabinet readers that scan milk-carton QR, POS vendors that need a 99.9%+ decode rate on refrigerated juice labels.

Board-level values vary with camera and illumination config — the FAE team validates against your fixture within 48h (as matched for the AS732 build).
Small boxes are where real budgets live.
Cabinet readers have maybe 20×40 mm of optical aperture and a whole day of people standing in front of the QR that will not hold still. AS732 was scoped from that noise floor upward:
- Keyboard-port escape hatch — one firmware image drives cabinets whose hosts were never meant to speak USB.
- 99.9%+ decode on the first try — with code-quality statistics for degraded plastic-film printing (config on request).
- 780 MHz to spare — decode plus room for the vendor's own menu logic on-board."
A shelf-flood of formats, one decode path.
Retail started with EANs and now prints QR, DataMatrix and PDF417 on the same carton. The AS732 speaks the whole family at once:
- Keyboard-output port means a swap-in is software-only on most legacy POS docks.
- All decode happens on-chip — the scan path stays free of the tablet's control loops.
- One window reads wallet coupons, membership codes and shelf QR alike.
AS732 FAQs
Yes — 1 pc is the MOQ. Samples ship in 1–3 days with the free SDK, datasheet and a camera-reference routine.
No — it behaves as a standard keyboard wedge; the POS receives code strings as keystrokes, which is typically driver-free.
The rolling-shutter reference set ships in the SDK. For conveyor motion, pick AS733 — the global-shutter sibling — instead.
