3. LubanCat-4 series hardware introduction

3.1. LubanCat-4

3.1.1. Product description

LubanCat-4 is a low-power, high-performance single-board computer designed by Embedfire Technology based on RockChip RK3588s.

LubanCat-2 LubanCat-2

LubanCat-4 is equipped with a quad-core A76+quad-core A55 eight-core CPU and a powerful Arm high-performance GPU, and has a built-in NPU with 6T computility. Equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet ports, mini-HDMI, USB3.0, MINI PCI-E interface, MIPI and other peripherals. While introducing high-usage interfaces, some low-usage interfaces and peripherals are deleted. This results in a significant reduction in board area. The reserved universal interfaces such as USB and MINI PCI-E further expand the use scenarios of the board. A small body can burst out with great performance.

This allows LubanCat-4 to be used not only as a high-performance single-board computer, but also as an embedded motherboard. It can be used in various scenarios such as display, control, network transmission, file storage, and edge computing.

The LubanCat-4 board provides a complete SDK driver development package, design schematics and other resources. While helping users further in-depth application of the board, it also greatly reduces the secondary development time based on this board and speeds up product launch.

Examples of application scenarios for LubanCat-4 boards:

  • Intelligent stand-alone small computer with functions such as office, education, programming development, and embedded development.

  • Personal git warehouse, server, nas, soft routing, private cloud.

  • Robots, drones and other projects.

  • TV boxes, smart home hubs, home security monitoring, smart speakers and other smart devices.
