Rock Pi Radxa CM3 Rock3 RK3566 Compute module 1GB RAM /no EM

Radxa´s ROCK3 Compute Module (Radxa CM3) is a  SoM (System on Module), based
on the Rockchip RK3566 SoC in a small form factor of 55mm x 40mm. It integrates
CPU/PMU/DRAM/STORAGE and Wireless.

Radxa´s CM3 offers an out of the box, cost-effective solution for countless applications. It as well simplifies and accelerates new product developments.

Overview of features:

Quad core 64 bit High Performance Solution

Radxa CM3 is powered by the Rockchip RK3566 SoC, a 64bit Quad Cortex A55 low power core with up to 2.0Ghz. It comes with a maximum of 8GB RAM and up to 128GB eMMC storage.

With a simple carrier board (a 2 layer base board is sufficient to provide access to all functions of the SoM), the engineers can quickly develop solutions and prepare the boards for production.

Rich interfaces

I2C, SPI, UART, ADC, PWM, GPIO, Ethernet, CAN, PDM, USB2, USB3, I2S, MIPI,
SATA, eDP interfaces are available as well as PCIe 2.0 high bandwidth buses.

Display Capability

The Dual Video Out put Processor supports dual display output to any two of HDMI, eDP, MIPI, DP, with a resolution of up to 4K x 2K and one 2.5k

Powerful multimedia utility support

4K VP9 and 4K 10bits H264/H265 video decoding, up to 60FPS

multiple 1080P video formats decoding including VC-1, MPEG-1/2/4, VP8

1080P encoding to H.264, VP8 formats

 Small size and low power

55mm x 40mm form factor and industry compatible 3 x 100PIN board to board connectors save board space and provide standardized interfaces and save board space.

Multiple OS support

Ubuntu 20.04 / Debian 10 / Buildroot / Android

Open documents and source code

Source code, documents, tools & utilities are freely available, community and commercial support are available to help you put your prototype into production

Widely used in various applications

Perfect SoM for Robotics, HMI, Vending Machines, Smart Home, IOT Gateway, Industrial Control, Medical Equipment etc.
