Firefly ROC RK3576 PC SBC

Firefly ROC-RK3576-PC is a low-power, low-profile SBC built around the Rockchip RK3576 octa-core Cortex-A72/A53 SoC which we also find in the Forlinx FET3576-C, the Banana Pi BPI-M5, and Mekotronics R57 Mini PC. In terms of power and performance, this SoC falls in between the Rockchip RK3588 and RK3399 SoCs and can be used for AIoT applications thanks to its 6 TOPS NPU. Termed “mini computer” by Firefly this SBC supports up to 8GB LPDDR4/LPDDR4X memory and 256GB of eMMC storage. Additionally, it offers Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0 for connectivity. An M.2 2242 PCIe/SATA socket and microSD card can be used for storage, and the board also offers HDMI and MIPI DSI display interfaces, two MIPI CSI camera interfaces, a few USB ports, and a 40-pin GPIO header. Firefly ROC-RK3576-PC specifications SoC – Rockchip RK3576 CPU 4x Cortex-A72 cores at 2.2GHz, four Cortex-A53 cores at 1.8GHz Arm Cortex-M0 MCU at 400MHz GPU […]

Forlinx FET3576-C Rockchip RK3576 SoM powers feature-rich OK3576-C board for AIoT applications

Forlinx FET3576 C SoM and Carrier Board

Forlinx FET3576-C SoM is a new System-on-Module built around the Rockchip RK3576 SoC which features four Arm Cortex-A72 and four Cortex-A53 cores made from a 22nm lithography process. The SoM is available with 2GB or 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM option and can be equipped with up to 32GB of eMMC storage. Additionally, it has 6 TOPS NPU power and supports standard peripherals like GbE Ethernet, Wifi, Bluetooth, LVDS, MIPI DSI, and much more. All these features make this device useful for IoT, edge computing, digital signage, and many other applications. The new FET3576-C SoM and its OK3576-C development board look very similar to the Forlinx FET3562J-C SoM and related board we covered earlier this month. But the main difference between the two is that the new one is built with the RK3576 SoC whereas the old one is built around the Rockchip RK3562(J) SoC. Previously we also saw that the […]

Lattice MachXO5D-NX FPGA family enables Hardware Security in Programmable FPGAs

Lattice MachXO5D NX FPGA dev board

Lattice Semiconductor has recently introduced the MachXO5D-NX FPGA family, which integrates a hardware root of trust (RoT) into low-power FPGAs. This addresses security challenges by combining on-chip Flash memory and hardware encryption to minimize code capture risks during load time. The MachXO5D-NX family includes three variants with logic cell counts of 27k (FMXO5-25), 53k (LFMXO5-55T), and 96k (LFMXO5-100T). These FPGAs feature built-in hardware encryption, a cryptographic engine supporting AES-256, ECDSA-384/521, SHA2-256/384/512, and RSA 3072/4096, and a unique secret identity (USID) for device identity protection. Built on a 28-nm fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) process, these FPGAs reduce power consumption by 75% and lower soft error rates by 100x(as the company mentions). They support interfaces such as MIPI D-PHY (CSI-2, DSI), LVDS, Gigabit Ethernet, and PCIe, making them suitable for secure edge applications.
