The system-on-module has been released with the MYD-LR3568 development board that serves as an evaluation platform. The development board is powered by a 12V/3A DC power supply and features a wide range of ports and interfaces, including two USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, two CAN interfaces, and a built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module. Expansion options comprise a MicroSD card slot, an M.2 NVME SSD slot, a 40-pin Raspberry Pi-compatible expansion header, and a MiFAN custom 40-pin expansion interface. It can drive multiple displays via HDMI, Mini-DP, MIPI-DSI, and LVDS.
MYIR offers a few optional modules to extend the board’s functionalities, including a 4ADH-to-MIPI Camera Module, a MIPI Camera Module, an RPI module, and an LCD module. Previous offerings from MYIR Tech include the MYC-J7A100T SoM, MYC-LMX9X SoM, MYD-LT527-SX board, and the Remi Pi.
The MYC-LR3568 system-on-module is sold in two standard configurations with the major differences being the onboard CPU and operating temperature. The $65 MYC-LR3568J-16E2D-180-I-G model features the RK3568J processor and works best between -40 to +85°C. The second configuration, MYC-LR3568B2-16E2D-200-E, costs $43 and has the RK3568B2 processor and an operating temperature range of -20 to 70°C. The MYD-LR3568 development board can be fitted with either module and ships with a USB cable, a 12V/3A power adapter, and a quick start guide.

The listed “E-link” interface looks like a misspelling of “E-Ink”, which appears in the SoC’s block diagram, but since I cannot open the pinout listing from the web site, I cannot check. Have you contacted MYIRTech about this? It’s also unclear, whether this interface is available on their development board, since I couldn’t find explained, what’s broken out on the “MiFAN Interface” header there.
I contacted MYiR yesterday because I had never heard about the E-Link interface. Searching on the net reports E-Link is related to biometrics. The company replied that “E-Link is a display interface”, so I guess you must be right and I’m waiting for confirmation it’s indeed E-Ink.
