New Radxa Rock debug board based on SoC Rockchip RK3188

    More and more, debug boards based on Chinese SoC appear in the world. Many previous motherboards were based on SoC AllWiner. The new Radxa Rock debug board is built on the Rockchip RK3188 SoC. You can read about the capabilities of the Rockchip RK3188 SoC in the article Tronsmart MK908 - a new generation of mini-computers based on the 4-core Rockchip RK3188 chip . The board exists in two versions:
    • Radxa rock
    • Radxa Rock Lite

    Radxa is a startup that was established in Shenzhen, China in 2013, with a group of young people who love computers and high technology. According to the description, Tom Kubi (author of Cubieboard ) is part of the development team.

    Debug Board Flowchart The debug board supports Android and Linux. Linux will not support video acceleration until a solution is found (maybe libhybris?). Scheme in PDF format are available for download at the link
    Now about 100 engineering samples of boards are available, which are available at half the initial cost. Mass production of boards will begin soon.

    The cost should be $ 89 for Radxa Rock, and $ 69 for Radxa Rock Lite.
    You can pre-order on the official website of radxa.com .
