iCore-3588MQ - automotive-Grade AI Core Board.

Powered by Rockchip all-new automotive-grade octa-core AI SOC RK3588M, this core board supports 8K video encoding and decoding and simultaneous seven-screen display. Equipped with up to 16-channel camera input and ultra-wide angle seamless splicing, it can be expanded to hard disk, Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi6 and 5G/4G network. It can simultaneously run multiple operating systems with virtual machine. Thanks to 10-year stable supply, this core board can be applied to the field of smart car, such as smart cockpit, ADAS and more.

Rockchip brand-new automotive-grade octa-core AI SoC RK3588M, it adopts 8nm lithography process, with octa-core (quad-core Cortex-A76+ quad-core Cortex-A55) CPU. Its frequency is up to 2.1GHz. Integrated with quad-core Mali-T610 GPU, RK3588M provides 6 Tops AI high omputing power NPU, 8K VPU and dual 16M ISP. It supports 8K video display, real“one SoC for seven screens”, 2-channel real multi-function Type-C and up to 16-channel camera input.

The core board supports 8K 60fps H.265/VP9 video decoding and 8K 30fps H.265/H.264 video encoding. It also supports simultaneous encoding and decoding and 4K video input. Up to 32-channel 1080P 30fps decoding and 16-channel 1080P 30fps encoding can be achieved.

Up to 32GB RAM can be configured, which exceeds the limit of the previous RAM and speeds up response time. It can meet the application requirements of products with large RAM and large storage.

With HDMI 2.1/eDP/MIPI-DSI/DP1.4 video output and up to 7-channel 1080P video output, this core board can simultaneously run in-vehicle infotainment, LCD instrument panel, digital rearview mirror, headrest monitor and more. So all of them enable a reliable intelligent network system and bring users interactive experience with high tech.

It can support up to 16-channel 1080P@30fps camera input and ADAS/DMS/BSD/APA multiple cameras assisted driving. The 4-channel, 6-channel and 8-channel cameras with ultra-wide angle seamless splicing are provided.

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.

This core board can be applied to the field of smart car, such as smart cockpit, ADAS and more, which promotes automotive industry.
