An Overview of ROCK PI S V1.3

Radxa’s ROCK Pi S is a single-board computer (SBC) that is based on the Rockchip RK3308 architecture. A small computer that really “rocks” and is perfect for all of your ideas!  It is equipped with a 64-bit quad-core processor, USB, ethernet, and wireless connectivity, as well as a voice detection engine, and its screen size is 1.7 inches, which makes it ideal for IoT and voice applications. The ROCK Pi S is available with either 256MB or 512MB of DDR3 RAM, and it boots its operating system from a microSD card. On-board storage variants of the ROCK Pi S with 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, or 8 GB of NAND flash are available as an optional extra.

Rockchip RK3308 Soc is a high-performance Quad-core application processor developed for intelligent voice interaction, audio input/output processing, and other digital multimedia applications. It is utilized in ROCK Pi S RK3308. ROCK Pi S RK3308 uses Rockchip RK3308 SoC. Embedded rich audio interfaces, such as I2S, PCM, TDM, PDM, SPDIF, HDMI ARC, and so on, may meet the development needs of a variety of audio application types, minimize the complexity of developing new hardware, and cut the cost of developing new hardware.

Specification
