Frequently Asked Questions

What operating systems are supported by the Luckfox Aura board?

The Luckfox Aura officially supports Buildroot and Debian Linux distributions. You can download pre-built images from the manufacturer's wiki. Flashing is typically done via a USB-C cable using the Rockchip upgrade tool or dd command to the eMMC, providing a full desktop or headless server environment for application development.

How do I connect cameras and displays to this development board?

Utilize the dual 4-lane MIPI CSI interfaces for connecting compatible cameras (up to 12MP). For display output, the 4-lane MIPI DSI port supports 1080p@60fps. You will need appropriate FPC cables and may need to configure the device tree for your specific sensor or screen. The 40-pin GPIO also allows for additional SPI/I2C display or sensor attachments.

What is the power requirement and how do I enable Power-over-Ethernet?

The board requires a stable 5V DC input via the USB-C port or GPIO header. For Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), you need an external IEEE 802.3af/at PoE injector or switch that delivers 5V output, connected via the provided IPEX-to-SMA cables and an appropriate PoE splitter module compatible with the board's 5V input specification to avoid damage.

Can I use the integrated NPU for TensorFlow Lite or PyTorch models?

Yes, the 3 TOPS NPU supports common AI frameworks through Rockchip's RKNN toolkit. You must convert your TensorFlow Lite or PyTorch model to the proprietary RKNN format using the provided conversion tools on a host PC, then deploy and run the optimized model on the board's NPU via the RKNN runtime library for accelerated inference.
