IC Nexus SBC3100 Rockchip RK3399 SBC Supports Variable DC Input (9 to 36V)

Earlier this year, we got flooded with announcements for new Rockchip RK3399 SBC’s or development boards with products like RockPro64 or Orange Pi RK3399.

Here’s another one launched last year by Taiwan based IC Nexus, which showcased their SBC3100 board at Computex 2018 this past week.

IC Nexus SBC3100 SBC specifications:

  • 8x GPIOs
  • I2C master header
• Sensor – Optional 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope
• Debugging – 1x debug port (UART)
• Misc – IR receiver, buzzer, power & reset buttons, keypad interface
• Power Supply
  • 9-36V DC input
  • 3/5/12V DC output via header
• Dimensions – 150 x 102 x 2.6mm
• Weight – 129 grams

The board has quite a rich set of peripherals and ports with multiple display support, multiple camera support, 3G/4G modem support, etc…, but actually it’s quite common for RK3399 based boards. What I have not seen that often – if my memory serves me well – is variable DC input, and the board can take 9 to 36V DC input, which may be useful in some specific applications.

The company provides Android 6.x and Ubuntu 16.04 firmware and SDK for the board.

Several optional accessories and add-on boards are also offered including H310 HDMI input module,  D120-SE quad RS232/RS422/RS485 card with isolation, H330 LVDS display interface + cables,  and 3G or LTE modems.

The company has not disclosed pricing publicly, but you could inquire for more details and pricing info via the product page.
