LubanCat-2 series hardware introduction¶
LubanCat-2¶
Product description¶
LubanCat-2 is a low power consumption, high-performance single-board computer designed by Embedfire Technology based on RockChip RK3568.
LubanCat-2 uses a SOC including quad-core Cortex-A55 processor, Mali G52 2EE graphics processor and energy-efficient NPU, with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, HDMI, USB3.0, MINI PCI-E, M.2 Interface, MIPI and other peripherals. While exporting interfaces with high utilization rate, some interfaces and peripherals with low utilization rate are deleted, so that the board area is significantly reduced. And reserving general-purpose interfaces such as USB, MINI PCI-E, M.2, etc. to further expand the use scenarios of the board. The small body can also burst out great performance.
This enables LubanCat-2 not only to be used as a high-performance single-board computer, but also as an embedded motherboard for various scenarios such as display, control, network transmission, file storage, and edge computing.
The LubanCat-2 board provides a complete SDK driver development kit, design schematic diagram and other resources, which not only helps users to further apply the board, but also greatly reduces the secondary development time based on this board and speeds up the launch of products.
Examples of application scenarios for LubanCat-2 boards:
Smart stand-alone small computer with functions of office, education, programming development, embedded development, etc.
Personal git warehouse, server, nas, soft router, private cloud
Projects such as robots and drones
TV box, smart home hub, home security monitoring, smart speakers and other smart devices
