Solderable Rockchip RV1106 system-on-module features 112 castellated pins, offers WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity

Luckfox Core1106 Core Board

Luckfox has recently released the Core1106 Core Board Rockchip RV1106 system-on-module with a compact 30x30mm size, 112 castellated pins designed to be soldered on top of a PCB, and an optional WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 module and IPEX 1.0 antenna connector. The Rockchip RV1106 camera SoC integrates 128MB (G2 version) or 256MB (G3 version) DDR3L memory, a 4th-gen 1 TOPS NPU, and a 3rd-gen Image Signal Processor (ISP) that supports hardware video encoding (H.264/H.265). Other interfaces include MIPI CSI, RGB LCD, USB, Ethernet, GPIO, SPI, I2C, UART, and more. These features make this board suitable for applications like AI-driven image recognition, smart cameras, IoT devices, and edge computing.

ZigEasy GEX is a series of ZigBee 3 & DigiMesh coordinators powered by the XBee 3 and XBee SX 868 modules

ZigEasy GEX Zigbee DigiMesh coordinators

The ZigEasy GEX series is a lineup of Zigbee / DigiMesh coordinators and Ethernet gateways based on Digi International’s XBee 3 and XBee SX 868 modules. These devices connect a ZigBee or DigiMesh network to a local Ethernet network or the internet. This makes it easier to create a robust Zigbee/DigiMesh network that can send and receive data from servers. The GEX2400 and GEX2400S devices integrate the Digi XBee3 module which supports Zigbee, 802.15.4, DigiMesh, and BLE and is configured directly with the XCTU software (USB or TCP/IP). The Digi SX 868 module on the GEX868 and GEX868S coordinators only supports DigiMesh. The “S” models include TLS 1.2 and AES-256 encryption for secure internet communication and are ideal for use cases that require internet access. These ZigEasy GEX Zigbee / DigiMesh coordinators can be used in mesh networks for smart homes, monitoring weather conditions, and tracking agricultural data. They can […]

Luckfox Pico WebBee – A Rockchip RV1103 USB & Ethernet development board for web servers, scripting, and Smart Home applications

Luckfox Pico WebBee Rockchip RV1103 development board

Luckfox has launched the Pico WebBee, a Linux-based micro development board powered by the Rockchip RV1103 Cortex-A7 SoC with 64MB of on-chip RAM. Externally, the Pico WebBee resembles a USB dongle enclosed in an ABS case with a USB Type-A port and a 100Mbps Ethernet RJ45 port. Additionally, it includes an internal microSD card slot and a boot button. The board is designed for applications such as lightweight web servers, USB scripting tools, and smart home devices. It’s not quite the first Rockchip RV1103 solution from Luckfox, as we previously covered the Luckfox Pico Mini Arm Linux camera board and the Luckfox Pico Plus camera board with an Ethernet port. The Pico WebBeee is quite different in its form factor (it’s a complete device), and it also lacks a camera interface. Luckfox Pico WebBee specifications: SoC – Rockchip RV1103 G1 CPU – Single-core Arm Cortex-A7 processor @ 1.2GHz + RISC-V […]

Firefly’s CSB1-N10 series AI cluster servers can deliver up to 1000 TOPS of AI power with Rockchip or NVIDIA Jetson Modules

CSB1 N10 series AI cluster servers

Firefly has recently introduced the CSB1-N10 series AI cluster servers designed for applications such as natural language processing, robotics, and image generation. These 1U rack-mounted servers are ideal for data centers, private servers, and edge deployments. The servers have multiple computing nodes, featuring either energy-efficient processors (Rockchip RK3588, RK3576, or SOPHON BM1688) or high-performance NVIDIA Jetson modules (Orin Nano, Orin NX). With 60 to 1000 TOPS AI power, the CSB1-N10 servers can handle the demands of large AI models, including language models like Gemma-2B and Llama3, as well as visual models like EfficientVIT and Stable Diffusion. CSB1-N10 series specifications All CSB1-N10 AI servers have the same interfaces, and the only differences are the CPU, memory, storage, multimedia, AI capabilities, and related software support. So it’s likely Firefly has made Rockchip system-on-modules compatible with NVIDIA Jetson SO-DIMM form factor, and indeed we previously noted that Firefly designed Core-1688JD4, Core-3576JD4, or Core-3588JD4 […]

GigaDevice GD32H75E – A 600MHz Arm Cortex-M7 MCU with an EtherCAT SubDevice Controller

Gigadevice GD32H75E GDSCN832

GigaDevice has launched its first EtherCAT SubDevice Controller with the GDSCN832 along with the 600 MHz GD32H75E Arm Cortex-M7 microcontroller series which incorporates the EtherCAT SubDevice Controller. The GH32G57E microcontroller also comes with 1024KB SRAM, 3840 KB flash with protection, up to two Ethernet PHY, USB Full Speed and High-Speed interfaces, and a range of peripherals and timers. Both products are made for the industrial automation market and are suitable for servo control, variable frequency drives, industrial PLCs, and communication modules. Gigadevice GD32H75E specifications: CPU – Arm Cortex-M7 32-bit processor core operating at 600 MHz frequency Memory and Storage 512KB AXI SRAM 512KB RAM shared (ITCM/DTCM/AXI) memory 3840 KB on-chip Flash memory with security protection to prevent illegal code/data access External memory controller (EXMC) for SRAM, PSRAM, ROM, and NOR Flash Accelerator – Filter arithmetic accelerator (FAC) and Trigonometric Math Unit (TMU) Industrial communication 2x Ethernet PHYs (YMJ6 parts only) […]

Luckfox Lyra boards feature Rockchip RK3506G2 triple-core SoC, display interface, optional Ethernet port

Luckfox Lyra RK3506G2 RJ45 display interface

The Luckfox Lyra boards feature a Rockchip RK3506G2 triple-core Arm Cortex-A7 SoC with one Cortex-M0 real-time core, 128MB on-chip DDR3, a MIPI DSI display interface, and built on a 22nm process. Three versions are available with the Luckfox Lyra, Lyra B (with 256MB flash), and Luckfox Lyra Plus offering similar features, but the longer Plus model also adds a 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ45 connector besides having 256MB SPI NAND flash. These are Luckfox’s first boards featuring the RK3506G2 processor, offering Ethernet connectivity and a display interface. But it’s not quite the first Arm Linux board from the company with Ethernet and a display interface, and we covered the Luckfox Pico Ultra micro development board all based on a Rockchip RV1106G3 SoC earlier this year. The company also introduced the similar-looking LuckFox Pico Pro and Pico Max boards powered by an RV1006G2 SoC in February, but instead of a display interface, they […]

SignalSDR Pro is a high-performance software-defined radio (SDR) in Raspberry Pi form factor (Crowdfunding)

Raspberry Pi SDR board with AMD Zync 7020 SoC FPGA

The SignalSDR Pro is a Raspberry Pi-sized SDR that brings a credit-card-sized twist to software-defined radios (SDRs). It is a compact, streamlined device suitable for tasks ranging “from signal processing and spectrum analysis to communication systems and beyond.” The SignalSDR Pro builds on the Analog Devices AD9361 radio transceiver and the AMD Zync 7020 SoC into a credit-card format reminiscent of Raspberry Pi single-board computers. The Raspberry Pi-sized SDR also features a 40-pin GPIO header for expansion with other hardware components and added functionality. The device offers a 70MHz – 6GHz tuning range, 12-bit sample rate, 61.44MHz RF bandwidth, and two full-duplex TX/RX channels via four I-PEX antenna connectors. It is also capable of emulating other SDR hardware such as the ADALM-PLUTO and USRP B210, making it easier to integrate into pre-existing workflows. The SignalSDR Pro is a mid-range alternative to entry-level SDR options such as the AntSDR E200, KrakenSDR, […]

Sipeed NanoKVM-PCIe is an inexpensive KVM over IP solution with optional WiFi 6 and PoE support

Sipeed NanoKVM-PCIe

Sipeed NanoKVM-PCIe is a variation of the NanoKVM KVM-over-IP solution introduced last summer, but instead of being a tiny Cube with USB-C power, the new model can be powered through the PCIe slot from the host (as well as USB-C) and adds optional WiFi 6 and PoE functionality. While it’s not based on the LicheePi Nano SBC like the NanoKVM, it relies on the same SOPHGO SG2002 RISC-V/Arm/8051 SoC and offers many of the same ports in a different form factor including 10/100Mbps Ethernet, two USB-C ports one for HID, the other for power, a small OLED information display, and an HDMI input port supporting up to 1080p60. NanoKVM-PCIe specifications: SoC – SOPHGO SG2002 Main core – 1GHz 64-bit RISC-V C906 or Arm Cortex-A53 core (the latter is likely not used here) Minor core – 700MHz 64-bit RISC-V C906 core Low-power core – 25 to 300MHz 8051 MCU core VPU […]
