The Allwinner H3 SoC is a solution from Zhuhai Allwinner Technology aimed at complete 4K OTT boxes. It is based on the ARM Cortex-A7 quad-core architecture, supports H.265/HEVC 4K@30fps hardware decoding, and has a GPU of Mali400MP2 with a working frequency exceeding 600MHz. It also features an integrated t-Coffer based on ARM TrustZone security technology and incorporates Allwinner Technology’s latest SmartColor display engine.
Basic Performance of Allwinner H3 SoC:
CPU: Quad-core Cortex™-A7 GPU: Multi-Core Mali400 GPU Supports OpenGL ES 2.0 Display: Supports 4K HDMI output with HDCP Supports HDMI CEC Supports HDMI 30 function Integrated CVBS Supports simultaneous output of HDMI and CVBS Memory: Supports LPDDR2/LPDDR3/DDR3/DDR3L SDRAM Supports 8-bit SLC/MLC/TLC/EF NANO with 64-bit ECC Supports SD/eMMC/tSD/fSD/efSD Video: Supports H.265/HEVC 4K@30fps video decoding Supports multi-format 1080p@60fps video decoding, including H.264 BP/MP/HP, VP8, MPEG1/2, MPEG4 SP/ASP GMC, H.263 including Sorenson Spark, WMV9/VC-1, JPEG/MJPEG, etc. Supports H.264 1080p@30fps video encoding Camera: Supports 8-bit YUV422 CMOS sensor interface Supports CCIR656 protocol for NTSC and PAL Supports SM pixel camera sensor Supports video capture solution up to 1080p@30fps
Although the Allwinner H3 SoC is launched for smart collaboration, it can still be used for other market applications. Currently, many companies in China are using the H3 SoC to develop boards, which are quite affordable. H3 chips can also be found on online marketplaces for just a few dozen yuan. Additionally, the H3, being a consumer-grade SoC, has low PCB manufacturing requirements. Users can directly reuse Allwinner’s official reference design to DIY their own development boards based on their actual needs without much difficulty and at a low cost. Here, I, Lao Wu, will share the complete set of reference design materials for the Allwinner H3 SoC with everyone, so we can all enjoy the fun of being makers, O(∩_∩)O~
The materials include:
Design documents related to H3, not just the chip Datasheet, but also customized instructions for the Android system, SDK usage instructions, etc. H3 hardware reference designs including schematics, core design of the DRAM part, layout guidelines that can be directly reused, etc. Supporting debugging tool software packages H3 Android SDK source code package H3 flashing tools and USB driver packages
