Youyeetoo YY3568 Compute Module equiped with Rockchip RK3568 Quad Core A55 for AIoT Applications

The Rockchip RK3568 is a quad-core 64-bit processor that serves as the foundation for the Youyeetoo YY3568 development board. This board features dual gigabit Ethernet ports, Bluetooth 5.0, a SATA 3.0 interface, and a CSI connector. As well as the option to support multiple displays. With a net price of only $94.99, this board can be called a hidden gem for developers and hobbyists alike.

This device comes in two parts, at the heart of the board sits the System-on-Module (SOM) with the Rockchip RK3568 processor. The SoM connects to the carrier board which has all the peripherals like an ethernet, SD card, SATA port, and more.

The RK3568 is a high-performance SOC with a 4-core ARM A55 CPU and a Mali G52 2EE GPU with OpenCL, Vulkan 1.1; supporting 4K decoding and 1080P encoding. It’s made with 22nm technology and has an 0.8 TOPS NPU which is great for lightweight AI applications. RK3568 supports both Android 11 and Linux systems and targets the industry with IoT and RTOS applications. The image below shows the full feature of the RK3568 SOC.

The carrier board also has multiple display interfaces, including one HDMI 2.0, one eDP, and two MIPI DSI connectors, this enables you to interface with a range of display devices.

Other than that this board also features 5x UART, 2x I2C, 1x CAN, 2x USB 2.0, 4x ADC, Fan connector, IR connector, and more, you can check Youyeetoos’ wiki page or their product page for more details.

In terms of connectivity, this board offers two Gigabit Ethernet ports, dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz/5GHz), and BL5.0 via the M.2 interface, providing a range of wireless connectivity options.

The YY3568 SOM module comes with 2GB and 8 GB upgrade options. When it comes to memory capacity it has 16GB onboard eMMC storage with a 64GB variant, other than that this board features an M.2 SSD slot and an SD card slot both can be found in the backside of the PCB.

The System on a Module (SOM) houses the main processor, memory controller, and memory, providing access to a variety of accessories such as display, camera, audio, LIDAR, and 4G networking capabilities. With these, you can build a plethora of applications ranging from edge computing to smart cars.

The above image shows the dimension of the board including the carrier board. This development board has compact dimensions, measuring 120mm (4.72 inches) in length and 88mm (3.46 inches) in width.
