As embedded systems continued to evolve toward higher processing capability and richer graphics support, many applications began to reach the limits of earlier ARM-based platforms. To address these requirements, we released a System on Module based on the Rockchip RK3399, targeting projects that required higher CPU performance, improved multimedia capability, and greater interface bandwidth.

The RK3399 processor was selected for its dual Cortex-A72 and quad Cortex-A53 architecture, offering a clear performance step beyond widely used platforms such as RK3288 and similar quad-core solutions. This architecture provides higher single-thread performance for UI responsiveness and computing tasks, while maintaining acceptable power consumption for embedded deployments.
In practice, the RK3399 platform is well suited for systems where both application-level processing and graphical performance are required, rather than purely control-oriented workloads.
Compared with previous-generation platforms, RK3399 provides significantly improved multimedia processing capability. Support for 4K video decoding and an integrated GPU allows the system to handle high-resolution displays and more complex graphical interfaces.
This makes the module suitable for embedded systems with demanding display requirements, including multi-window user interfaces and video-centric applications.
The RK3399 SoM adopts a gold finger connector, allowing direct integration into custom carrier boards. This design approach enables customers to focus on application-specific hardware while reusing a stable compute module.
The module exposes a wide range of interfaces required in embedded systems, including USB, PCIe, and SATA, as well as standard peripheral interfaces such as UART, I²C, and SPI. Sufficient GPIO resources are available to support custom peripherals and system control logic.
The module supports Linux and Android operating systems, providing flexibility for different application environments. A mature software stack allows developers to focus on system integration, driver configuration, and application development rather than low-level platform bring-up.
This makes the RK3399 SoM suitable for both product development and long-term deployment scenarios.
