Boardcon LGA3576 SoM and Idea3576 SBC Feature Rockchip RK3576 SoC with 6 TOPS NPU and RK806S-5 PMIC

In recent times, Boardcon unveiled the 6TOPS AI-capable LGA3576, a state-of-the-art embedded system-on-module (SoM) with a 330-pad LGA layout that is powered by the Rockchip RK3576 AI SoC and the Idea3576 single board computer (SBC). It safeguards seamless multitasking for applications including 4K/8K video surveillance, digital signage, AV processing systems and AIoT edge devices (smart retail, robotics) with an intelligent hybrid CPU architecture (4x Cortex-A72 @ 2.2GHz + 4x Cortex-A53 @ 1.8GHz).

All I/Os, encompassing HDMI, PCIe, Ethernet, and GPIO signals, find themselves subjected through LGA pads, and the LGA3576 SoM accommodates up to 8GB LPDDR5 and 512GB UFS storage. Power management is administered by an RK806S-5 PMIC. Cameras, displays, network modules, and peripherals are capable of being expanded in a variety of ways with the LGA3576’s extensive I/O suite, which includes UART, USB 3.2 Type-C, HDMI/DP, and MIPI CSI/DSI. It streamlines networking and storage with its dual SDMMC and GMAC interfaces.

Previously, we have covered many SoM and development boards powered by the Rockchip RK3576 SoC, including the Mekotronics R57, the ASUS Chromebox 5a, the Banana Pi BPI-M5 Pro, and much more. Feel free to check those out if you’re interested in the topic.
