Product Detail
RUPA-RK3572-A1 Single Board Computer (RK3572 Octa-core AI)
The RUPA-RK3572-A1 (board code RP08B-RK3572-4D32) is a high-performance single board computer built around the Rockchip RK3572 octa-core AI processor. In a compact form factor it integrates CPU, GPU and NPU, delivering edge AI inference and multimedia processing at low power. The board carries LPDDR4/LPDDR4X memory, expands through eMMC/UFS/SPI Flash modules, and uses the RK806S-5 PMIC for multi-rail power sequencing — making it easy to move from prototype to production.
Target Applications
- Edge AI inference and machine vision terminals
- Industrial control and HMI devices
- Smart retail and self-service kiosks
- Media playback and digital signage
- Education platforms and maker development
- IoT gateways and data acquisition
