Product Introduction

The X3566 development board is based on the Rockchip RK3566 platform. It uses the X3566CV2 core board and exposes common interfaces such as HDMI, DSI/LVDS, EDP, CSI/CIF, USB, OTG, Gigabit Ethernet, SATA, PCIe, audio, IR, GPIO, TF card, keys, RTC, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. It is suitable for Android/Linux evaluation, display adaptation, camera debugging, peripheral-driver verification, and embedded-product development.
