Product Introduction
i6818 is designed around the S5P6818 SoC. S5P6818 uses a 64-bit octa-core Cortex-A53 architecture and is pin-compatible with S5P4418; the major difference is the ARM CPU core architecture. The hardware uses the AXP228 PMIC, and the platform software is based on Android 5.1.
Unlike a traditional exposed-PCBA development board, i6818 is integrated into an 8-inch tablet form factor. It provides Ethernet, three USB HOST ports, two GPIO expansion ports, mini HDMI, TF card, OTG, headphone jack, DC jack, and a reset hole. The baseboard integrates Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, camera, HDMI, audio, Gigabit Ethernet, dual speakers, and a 5000mAh battery.
i6818 and the i6818CV3 core board are suitable for industrial control, power, communications, medical, media, security, automotive, finance, consumer electronics, handheld devices, game consoles, display control, and teaching instruments.
