Rockchip RK3399 Linux system is open source! As Rockchip's flagship chip, RK3399 has high performance, high expansion and all-round application characteristics. After the source code is made public, the more open RK3399 will be suitable for electronic whiteboards, electronic schoolbags, face recognition devices, drones, robots, game terminals, game peripherals, mobile game servers, home appliances, advertising machines/all-in-one machines, financial POS, vehicle control industry, thin clients (cloud services), VOIP video conferencing systems, educational tablets, karaoke entertainment, medical, security/monitoring/police, industrial control, IoT, VR recording, VR and nearly 100 other industry application products. [RK3399 has rich interfaces and excellent performance] The CPU of RK3399 adopts big.LITTLE core architecture, dual-core Cortex-A72 + quad-core Cortex-A53, and has technological leadership in overall performance and power consumption. The GPU adopts the quad-core ARM new generation high-end image processor Mali-T860, which integrates more bandwidth compression technology and has excellent overall performance. From the RK3399 hardware system framework diagram, the open interfaces are extremely rich: 1. Dual USB3.0 Type-C interfaces, support Type-C Display Port 2. Dual MIPI Camera interfaces, dual ISP, single channel supports up to 13 million pixels 3. MIPI/eDP/HDMI2.0 interface, support 4096x2160 display output, dual screen display and other functions 4. Built-in PCI-e interface, support high-speed Wi-Fi and storage expansion based on PCI-e 5. Support 8-way digital microphone array input 6. eMMC5.1 HS400 Based on the quad-core ARM Mali-T860 high-end image processor, Rockchip also opened many application development interface APIs, including OpenGL ES 1.2, 1.1,2.0, 3.1, 3.2, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 1.1, 1.2, enderScript. [RK3399 Linux system is open source and available for download] RK3399 Linux system is officially open source. Rockchip has established RK3399 platform area on github and wikidot, which not only provides developers with source code download, technical documents and support services, but also includes hardware design reference, development board and other support.
[Open Source Case: Home Entertainment Console Terminal Products & VR Head-Mounted Display Devices]
The high-performance, high-scalability and all-round application characteristics of the RK3399 platform are well reflected in the two published open source terminal product application cases. Based on the RK3399 processor, Yingpengfei designed the XPC-3399 motherboard:
1. Home entertainment console terminal products using the RK3399 platform have leading technology in multiple display interfaces, GPU, audio and video decoding, and interconnection with multiple terminals and human-computer interaction.
2. VR head-mounted display devices using the RK3399 platform can achieve a delay of less than 20ms under the optimized algorithm, and can also achieve 90Hz refresh rate, 4K UHD decoding and ultra-high-definition H.265/H.264 video parsing capabilities. Through the Type C or HDMI+USB interface, an external VR head-mounted display can be connected to bring an immersive virtual reality experience to the product.
The open interface and open source system of Rockchip RK3399 not only help terminal equipment manufacturers to use a chip to carry out global product line layout, but also realize rapid mass production, cost control and technology application of products. Its open source system can also meet the terminal manufacturers' demands for product personalization and differentiation, and truly solve the pain points of the industry chain, which will be of great value to the development of global smart hardware.
