Last month, I was fortunate to attend the electronics exhibition and communicated with a few friends from chip manufacturers about the current situation. The chip industry has become highly competitive, focusing on performance, process, and price…

We talked about a key point: in fierce competition, having a unique characteristic is essential for long-term success.

Today, let’s discuss a unique and affordable embedded processor from Allwinner: T113-S3

Allwinner Embedded Processor T113

About 10 years ago, I first encountered Allwinner processors while developing with Linux. At that time, most embedded fields were dominated by foreign manufacturers, and Allwinner was relatively unknown.

Because Allwinner processors have their unique features, they gradually gained some fame in China. Here, I want to ask everyone, do you know or have you heard of Allwinner processors?

1. T113 Processor

The T113 processor we are discussing today is a general-purpose embedded CPU with certain unique features.

T113-S3 is an affordable entry-level embedded processor from Allwinner Technology, suitable for smart industrial control and automotive applications. The T113-S3 processor features a dual-core Cortex-A7 with a frequency of up to 1.2GHz, supports video codecs, and has 128M DDR3 memory.

Moreover, it has video capture interfaces (Parallel-CSI/CVBS in), display interfaces (MIPI-DSI/LVDS/RGB/CVBS out), USB2.0 interfaces, CAN interfaces, and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, making it particularly suitable for entry-level Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) and embedded devices with video functions, applicable in IoT gateways, commercial displays, energy power, industrial control, medical devices, and more.

2. MyIR T113 Core Board

The T113-S3 core board adopts a high-density high-speed PCB design, integrating the T113-S3 processor, Nand Flash/eMMC, E2PROM, and discrete power circuits on a board size of 37mm×39mm. The MYC-YT113X features the strictest quality standards, ultra-high performance, rich peripheral resources, cost-effectiveness, and long supply time, making it suitable for the core board requirements of high-performance intelligent devices.

The T113-S3 core board is positioned for the industrial control field, with multiple advantages:

5V power supply, better compatibility, and convenience
Smaller package design: 37mm×39mm
Equipped with a shield, ensuring stability and reliability
Obtained various certifications: high and low temperature, testing, CE, ROHS

3. MyIR T113 Baseboard

The MyIR T113 baseboard provides rich peripheral interfaces to meet different user needs:

Here are the parameters provided by MyIR:

Entry-Level Processor Development Guide

Although it is an entry-level embedded processor, some basic knowledge is still required for development.

Of course, the processor manufacturer and MyIR development board official also provide corresponding development guides and demo software.

To facilitate developers in quickly developing their applications, the official provides a pre-ported system, as well as supporting SDK, various development and debugging tools, application development examples, etc.

The T113 is particularly suitable for entry-level Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) and embedded devices with video functions. Here’s a demo video:

Of course, the official also considers beginners and newcomers by providing a step-by-step tutorial, including:

Preparing the software and hardware development environment
Using the SDK to build the development board image
Burning the system image
Configurations such as U-boot, Kernel, etc.
Applications like Makefile, Qt, etc.

Specific details will be provided along with the purchase of the development board, including related disk materials. The main process of Linux software development can also refer to the previously shared article “MyIR D9 Software Development Process“.

Finally

The Allwinner T113-S3 is a 【cost-effective】 embedded processor with a dual-core A7, a frequency of 1.2GHz, and 128M internal memory. This CPU only costs 20 yuan, isn’t it attractive?

Even if you add eMMC, EEPROM, power supply, etc., and package it into a module, the price is only a few dozen yuan.

Of course, it mainly depends on your needs. If you are looking for a similar chip, you might want to learn more about the T113-S3 core board and development board.
