Description
The VIM3 SBC is a compact size SBC that has a powerful Amlogic A311D SoC: x4 Cortex A73 performance-cores (2.2Ghz), and x2 Cortex A53 efficiency-cores (1.8Ghz) are merged into a hexa-core configuration and fabricated with a 12nm process to maximize performance, thermal and electrical efficiency.
It has an onboard 5.0 TOPS NPU for advanced neural network applications with support for popular deep learning models such as TensorFlow, Caffe and Darknet. Also, it has an M.2 slot for NVMe SSDs that can switch between PCIe and USB 3.0 via Khadas KBI commands, and a USB-C port with 5-20volt USB power-delivery input.
The VIM3 supports dual independent displays via HDMI at 4K output and MIPI-DSI at 1080P output and also has a 3-axis digital accelerometer for display rotation detection. There is also a TP connector for multi-touch inputs. Furthermore, it supports dual cameras via the 4 lane MIPI-CSI, up to 8MP ISP, with a 30-pin 0.5mm pitch FPC connector.
