RK3568 platform
TBoard RK3568
The compact board: four cores, low power, 4K video, and the same open stack as the flagship — for products that ship in volume.
4-core A55
0.8 TOPS INT8
4K@60 decode
Low power

Not every SoC interface is broken out on every carrier. Ask for the datasheet and pinout before designing around a specific bus.
Software
Same stack, smaller board.
Move a product down from the RK3588 when the workload allows it, and keep your device tree, build scripts and drivers.
In the tree
- Mainline U-Boot with board device trees kept in the open
- Mainline Linux kernel alongside the Rockchip vendor BSP
- Debian rootfs with the TBoard SDK build scripts
- Schematics and PCB source published per board revision
- Flashing tooling for eMMC, SD and USB maskrom recovery
Support
- Documentation site with bring-up notes and pinouts
- Community forum for questions and build reports
- Direct engineering contact for carrier board design
- BSP patches for your peripherals, on request
- Volume supply and lifecycle planning for production
