This SOM supports a Rockchip ARM® CortexTM-A17 processor. It offers a Quad-Core CPU as well as a Mali-T764 GPU. The embedded 3D GPU provides compatibility with OpenGL ES1.1 / 2.0 / 3.0 and OpenCL 1.1. A dedicated 2D hardware engine with MMU maximizes the display performance and ensures smooth operation.
Rockchip RK3288 easily plays back Full HD videos. It provides H.265 decoders with 2160p @ 60fps, H.264 decoder with 2160 @ 24fps, H.264 / MVC / VP8 encoders with 1080p @ 30fps as well as a high-quality JPEG encoder / decoder.
phyCORE-RK3288 is well suited for mobile applications as well as multitasking, provided that enough free RAM is available.
Rockchip guarantees a long-term availability of the processor until at least 2024.
PHYTEC modules support comprehensive security features in hardware and software. All functions supported by the RK3288 processor as well as further information about our security concept can be found here.
