Rikomagic RKM V7P is an upgrade to the Rockchip RK3568-powered RKM V7 HDMI TV stick with 4GB RAM, 32GB eMMC flash, and WiFi 6 connectivity, as well as the existing Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port, and HDMI 2.0 female port.
The RKM V7P TV stick runs Android 11 and can be used as a 4K digital signage player with features such as an RTC (Real-time clock) for time on and off, a watchdog to make sure the system runs 24/7 even if it hangs, portrait/landscape rotation selection, support for USB touchscreen displays, and so on.
Rikomagic RKM V7P specifications:
- SoC – Rockchip RK3568 quad-core Cortex-A55 processor @ up to 2.0 GHz with Arm Mali-G52 2EE GPU with support for OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0/3.2, OpenCL 2.0, Vulkan 1.1, 0.8 TOPS NPU for AI acceleration, 4Kp60 H.265/H.264/VP9 video decoding, and 1080p100 H.265/H.264 video encoding
- System Memory – 4 GB LPDDR4
- Storage – 32 GB eMMC flash, MicroSD card socket
- Video & audio output – HDMI 2.0 female port up to 4Kp60 with CEC, touchscreen support via USB port.
- Networking
- Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port with Wake-on-Lan (WoL) support
- WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2
- USB – 1x USB 3.0 OTG port, 1x USB 2.0 port
- Misc – Power button, RTC, watchdog
- Power Supply – 5V/2A input via DC jack
- Dimensions – 120 x 60 x 23mm
- Temperature Range – 0°~70°C
- Humidity – 0%~95%
The TV stick ships with a 5V/2A power adapter and a male-to-male HDMI cable. As we noted in the RKM V7 announcement, Rikomagic probably selected the Rockchip RK3568 over the RK3566 processor to get access to a USB 3.0 OTG port.
Rikomagic sells the RKM V7P HDMI TV stick and digital signage on Aliexpress for $120 plus shipping, and you’ll also find the previous generation RKM V7 on the same page for $100 with 2GB RAM, 16GB eMMC flash, and WiFi 5 connectivity. Additional information may also be found on the product page.

It seems very expensive compared to Higole latest PC Stick with Intel Celeron J4125 ?
I guess it’s the no-name knockoff of even more expensive industrial/signage products?
RKM seems to be quite big in the Android TV stick space…
Though you can’t really call this an HDMI “stick”
And it is a good thing, that this one uses cable. I have when someone hangs 200 gram device on a flimsy HDMI port.
And yet it would seem possible to get much the same level of performance out of an X96S, which is an actual HDMI stick…
Also it’s much more difficult to find a male+female cable extended than a regular male-male one, so yes that’s much better like this.
“a watchdog to make sure the system runs 24/7 even if it hangs” that worries me, means it hangs a lot?
I wouldn’t assume that. A watchdog is just a useful thing to have when it’s a pain to get to hardware if the software ever crashes
Rather that some people have expressed concerns on previous models lacking it. Indeed when you want a 24×7 system to stay up unattended, you’d rather have a watchdog. Praying for system package updates not to eat all memory resulting in sshd being killed for example is audacious 😉
