Previously, on Lao Wu’s blog, there was a sharing of hardware reference design materials for Rockchip’s RK3566 and RK3568, see the link: https://www.mr-wu.cn/rk3566-rk3568-soc-development-resources/. Recently, some friends left messages asking if I could also share the hardware reference design materials for RK3562, so I hurriedly arranged it!
Here, I will introduce the technical parameters and application scenarios of the RK3562 SoC based on its datasheet, and conveniently fill up the article’s word count to place an advertisement.
The Rockchip RK3562 is a high-performance, low-power quad-core application processor designed for consumer electronics applications. It features a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor based on the ARMv8 architecture, with a maximum frequency of 2.0GHz, including 32KB instruction cache, 32KB data cache, and 512KB L2 cache.
Graphics Performance: It integrates a Mali-G52 GPU, supporting OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0/3.2, OpenCL 2.0, and Vulkan 1.1, providing smooth graphics rendering capabilities, suitable for high-definition video playback, image processing, and other graphics-intensive tasks.
AI Performance: It has a built-in NPU with 1TOPS computing power, supporting mixed operations of INT4/INT8/INT16/FP16 data types, with strong compatibility with frameworks such as TensorFlow, MXNet, PyTorch, and Caffe, easily converting network models and providing strong support for AI applications.
Memory Support: It has a 32-bit wide DDR controller, supporting various memory types including DDR3, DDR4, LPDDR3, and LPDDR4, with a maximum memory capacity of 8GB.
Multimedia Processing Capabilities:
-
Video Decoding: Supports various formats including H.265 (4K@30fps), H.264 (1080p@60fps).
-
Video Encoding: Supports H.264 format encoding at 1080p@60fps.
-
Image Processing: Built-in JPEG decoder, with a maximum resolution of 65536×65536.
Peripheral Interfaces: Supports various interfaces including 10/100/1000M Ethernet, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, PCIe 2.1, SDIO 3.0, etc.
Audio Support: Features multi-channel audio interfaces, supporting I2S, PCM, TDM audio protocols, with a maximum sampling rate of 192KHz.
Security Features: Includes AES, SHA encryption hardware, supports secure boot, debugging, and various key protection mechanisms.
Based on the above technical parameters, the RK3562 is a multifunctional, high-performance SoC positioned as a solution for AIoT platforms, meeting the performance requirements of AI smart hardware products such as smart office, smart education, and smart home. The launch of RK3562 further improves Rockchip’s AIoT platform product line, catering to customer demand for mid-range neural network computing power and cost-effective AIoT chips.
The reference design shared here only includes hardware design-related content and does not include software development-related SDKs or operating system image files.
