Firefly AIO-3588Q AI ARM Motherboard with 8K Multi-Display
Compact RK3588 board with 6 TOPS NPU, PCIe, 8K video, multi-display output, and industrial I/O for edge AI and embedded systems.
AIO-3588Q 8K AI ARM Motherboard
The AIO-3588Q AI ARM Motherboard uses the Rockchip RK3588 SoC to target edge computing, industrial control, and multi-display applications. It combines high-performance compute, AI acceleration, and rich I/O in a compact board. The design focuses on developers who need strong video processing, multiple display outputs, and flexible expansion without moving to x86 platforms.
Rockchip RK3588 integrates an octa-core CPU clocked up to 2.4GHz, paired with a Mali-G610 MP4 GPU and a 6 TOPS NPU. This setup enables local AI inference, video analytics, and edge processing workloads. The NPU supports INT4, INT8, and INT16 operations and works with frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, MXNet, and Caffe, making it usable for real deployments instead of just demos.

AIO-3588Q 8K AI ARM Motherboard Specifications
The board supports Android and Linux distributions, including Ubuntu and Debian. It also supports Docker containers and KVM virtualization, which allows running multiple operating systems on separate displays. This “one screen per OS” approach makes it practical for control rooms, kiosks, and industrial dashboards where isolation and parallel workloads matter.
The AIO-3588Q AI ARM Motherboard starts at $429 for the 4GB RAM and 32GB eMMC variant. Mid-tier configurations with 8GB RAM cost around $469, while the top-end model with 32GB RAM and 256GB storage reaches about $899. You can purchase it from the Firefly store, where full documentation, datasheets, and SDK resources are also available.
