From Bricking to Rebirth: My RK3588 Development Board Embarks on the Journey of Customizing Ubuntu

When I first introduced cloud phones (Unveiling Cloud Phone Technology! Achieving Low-Cost Transformation of One Computer into Hundreds of “Virtual Phones” in Practice), I mentioned that the mobile box from Magic Cloud was a bit expensive. However, running it on a server lacked graphical acceleration, which slightly affected the experience, so I tried running it … Read more

Running Waydroid on RK3588 via Panthor

Previously, we could run Waydroid using the official image through software rendering, as referenced in the Waydroid research, allowing Android applications to run on Linux. This time, by porting Panthor, we can utilize the official Mesa for rendering. Based on related articles from the external community, we will verify the performance of Waydroid running on … Read more

Description Deploying YOLOv8 on Wildfire RK3588, we use yolov8s.pt (downloaded from the YOLOv8 official website) as an example. 1. pt->onnx Do not use the official YOLOv8 code; instead, use the Rockchip YOLOv8 code, available at https://github.com/airockchip/ultralytics_yolov8 After downloading the code, execute the model conversion with the following code: from ultralytics import YOLO model = YOLO('yolov8s.pt') … Read more

PCB Prices Reach New Highs

On Friday,PCB prices for some stocks have already reached new highs, while others are approaching their previous highs. During the downturn, it was believed that AI capital expenditure growth had peaked, and domestic CSP manufacturers had money but couldn’t spend it. During the upturn, it was thought that if US stocks in AI could reach … Read more

DC Sensing Return Current in Mixed Signal PCBs

A common high-speed PCB design rule is to track the return current path of signals. In reality, this is much easier said than done, as the return paths for fast digital signals and even medium-frequency analog signals are largely confined beneath the traces. At very low frequencies or under direct current (DC), the return path … Read more
