As a new generation of the best open source platform for Firefly, Firefly-RK3399 is equipped with a six-core 64-bit “server class” processor Rockchip RK3399, and with 2GB/4GB DDR3 and 16G/32GB eMMC, as well as increases PCIe 2.1 M.2, DP 1.2, Type-C, USB3.0 and other high-performance data transmission and display interface. The powerful performance of Firefly-RK3399 will bring a milestone change to VR, panorama shooting, visual recognition, server, 3D and other cutting-edge technology.
Firefly-RK3399 features
1、Six-core 64-bit”server class”Cortex-A72 processor
Using the nuclear architecture of dual “server class” core Cortex-A72 and quad-core Cortex-A53 , the frequency up to 2.0GHz, and the Cortex-A72 delivers up to 50% more performance at the same frequency as Cortex-A57, while reducing power by more than 15% .
2、Mali-T860 MP4 quad-core graphics processor
Supports OpenGL ES1.1/2.0/3.0/3.1, OpenVG1.1, OpenCL, DX11, AFBC(Frame buffer compression),
and the Mali-T860 delivers up to 45% more performance as Mali-T628, energy consumption ratio has been improved greatly.
3、Support dual cameras
With dual MIPI-CSI interfaces and dual ISP (Image Signal Processor, pixel processing capacity up to 800 Mpix/s), it can achieve two-way camera data input at the same time, supports for panorama shooting, gesture detection, depth detection, 3D and other high-end processing.
4、Dual PCIe combination of PCIe1.2 M.2 and Mini PCIe
PCIe 2.1 uses the M.2 Bkey interface for high-speed Wi-Fi and SSD storage expansion and supports up to nine types of expansion interfaces (PCIe x2, SATA, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, HSIC, SSIC, Audio, UIM, I2C ), it with a strong expansion; and Mini-PCIe for the LTE module specific interface, with the onboard SIM card port, easy to achieve IOT networking applications.
5、Dual USB3.0 high-speed interface of Type-C and USB3.0 Type-A
With two USB3.0 interfaces (Type-C + USB3.0 Type-A), transmission bandwidth up to 5.0Gbps, it’s 10 times than USB2.0.
6、Powerful display interface performance
Firefly-RK3399 with four high-performance display interfaces (HDMI2.0, DP1.2 (DisplayPort), MIPI-DSI, eDP), in addition to a strong display performance, but also to achieve dual display, it has a very obvious advantage for VR class intelligent devices and other high-end applications.
7、Powerful network
Supports 2.4GHz / 5GHz dual-band AC WiFi, Bluetooth4.1 and Gigabit Ethernet, the reserved Mini-PCIe can also be extended LTE module to achieve 4G communication.
8、Support Android 6.0.1 & Ubuntu 16.04 dual system
Supports Android 6.0.1&Ubuntu 16.04 dual system, it can be used for office study, games entertainment, server architecture and software development, intelligent embedded and so on.
9、Rich external interfaces
In addition to HDMI2.0, MIPI-CSI, MIPI-DSI, PCIe, DP 1.2, eDP, USB3.0 interface, but also reserved 42Pin row of needles: 8-channel I2S, ADC, I2C, SPI/UART, GPIO, LINEOUT , SPEAKER.
10、Application
The Firefly-RK3399 with exquisitely integrated design, so that it can be applied to many innovative products, while its the best performance and rich expansion interfaces are a powerful booster for cutting-edge technology.
The pledged time: From December 5, 2016, to January 10, 2017
