D-Robotics RDK X3 Dev Board – Cortex-A53, 5 TOPS AI, 4GB RAM

Description

The D-Robotics RDK X3 Development Board is engineered for demanding edge computing and advanced robotics applications. At its core lies a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor operating at 1.5GHz, providing substantial general-purpose computing power. Complementing this, a specialized dual-core Bernoulli architecture accelerates AI workloads, offering an impressive 5 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second) for efficient on-device inference. This powerful combination makes the RDK X3 an excellent choice for developers pushing the boundaries of intelligent systems.

Equipped with 4GB of high-speed LPDDR4 RAM, the RDK X3 ensures smooth operation for complex algorithms and data-intensive tasks. Its versatile connectivity options include Wi-Fi 2.4/5GHz and Bluetooth 4.2 for wireless communication, alongside a rich set of wired interfaces such as HDMI 1.4 for display output, multiple USB Type-A ports (one 3.0, two 2.0), and a MIPI CSI interface for camera integration. Storage is facilitated via a TF card slot, while a comprehensive 40-pin GPIO header provides access to debug UART, I2C, UART, SPI, I2S, and PWM for extensive peripheral expansion.

Designed with developers in mind, the D-Robotics RDK X3 offers robust operating system support, specifically compatible with Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04. This allows engineers to leverage a familiar Linux environment and a vast ecosystem of tools and libraries for AI model deployment, robotics control, and embedded vision projects. Whether building intelligent surveillance systems, autonomous robots, or industrial automation solutions, the RDK X3 provides a solid and powerful foundation.
