Product Introduction

The X30 development board is based on the Rockchip PX30 platform and uses the X30CV1 or X30CV2 core board. It consists of a stamp-hole core board, a carrier board, and an LCD panel. It can be used in tablets, vehicle systems, learning devices, POS terminals, game consoles, industrial surveillance, advertising players, PDAs, teaching platforms, and multimedia terminals.

PX30 is a quad-core Cortex-A35 application processor for industrial applications. It supports RGB/LVDS/MIPI-DSI display output, MIPI CSI and DVP sensor input, 100M RMII, SDIO3.0, USB2.0 HOST/OTG, I2C, UART, SPI, PWM, and other common embedded interfaces.
