May is the month of our System On Modules 🙂

Today our next SOM with RK3188 successfully was tested and OK.

This one is little beast comparing to A20 it have 4x Cortex-A9 vs 2x Cortex-A7 and runs on 1.6GHz vs. 1GHz so RK3188 makes total 16000 DMPIS vs. 3800 DMIPS for A20 (4.2 times faster) and vs. 965 DMIPS for RaspberryPi (16.6 times faster).

On the SOM there is:

RK3188 running at 1.6Ghz

1GB DDR3 memory

Power Managment Unit IC

optional 4GB NAND Flash

micro SD-card to boot Llinux or Android

two buttons

three status LEDs

debug UART console

5 GPIO connectors 2×20 pins 0.05″ step
