Firefly iCore-3588JQ

Powered by Rockchip RK3588J new-gen industrial octa-core 64-bit processor, the core board supports up to 32GB RAM and 8K video encoding and decoding. With industrial-grade SoC, precision components and BTB connector, it delivers long and stable operation between -40°C and 85°C, satisfying the industrial-grade needs. Backplane reference design and other open resources are provided for users to make further customization.

Powered by Rockchip RK3588J octa-core 64-bit industrial-grade processor, its frequency is up to 2.2GHz, with 8nm lithography process. Integrated with ARM Mali-G610 MP4 quad-core GPU and built-in AI acceleration NPU, it provides 6Tops computing power and supports mainstream deep learning frameworks. There are a variety of storage options, which allows customers to quickly implement research and production.

The core board supports 8K@60fps H.265/VP9 video decoding and 8K@30fps H.265/H.264 video encoding. It also supports encoding and decoding simultaneously — up to 32-channel 1080P@30fps decoding and 16-channel 1080P@30fps encoding can be achieved. The strong video encoding and decoding capability makes 8K HD display with more sharp detail available.

Integrated with PCIe3.0/GMAC/SDIO3.0/USB3.0, it can be extended to multi-channel Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi 6/Bluetooth, 5G/4G LTE, enabling network communication with higher speed.

It is equipped with industrial-grade SoC, precision components and connectors, so it can provide 7x24h continuous and stable operation in the range of -40°C~85°C, satisfying industrial-grade needs.

This core board can be widely used in ARM PC, edge computing, cloud server, smart NVR, smart video wall, AR/VR, smart car and other fields.
