Full-Featured Multi-CAN and Multi-Serial Port Robot Board Based on RK3588
The RK3588 robot controller offers five major technical advantages:
-
Integrated with a variety of powerful embedded hardware engines, supporting 8K@60fps H.265 and VP9 decoders, 8K@30fps H.264 decoder, and 4K@60fps AV1 decoder; supporting 8K30fps H.264 and H.265 encoders, high-quality JPEG encoder/decoder, and dedicated image pre-processors and post-processors.
-
Built-in 3D GPU compatible with OpenGL ES1.1/2.0/3.2, OpenCL 2.2, and Vulkan 1.2. A dedicated 2D hardware engine with MMU maximizes display performance and delivers a smooth user experience.
-
Integrated Rockchip self-developed 48MP ISP (Image Signal Processor), supporting a wide range of algorithm accelerators such as HDR, 3A, LSC, 3DNR, 2DNR, sharpening, defogging, fisheye correction, gamma correction, and more.
-
High-performance NPU supporting INT4/INT8/INT16/FP16 mixed computing. Its strong compatibility enables seamless conversion of network models based on frameworks such as TensorFlow, MXNet, PyTorch, and Caffe.
-
High-bandwidth 4-channel external memory interface (LPDDR4/LPDDR4X/LPDDR5), capable of meeting demanding memory bandwidth requirements.
