Forlinx Embedded Unveils FET1126Bx-S Industrial SoM for Low-Power Edge AI and Vision Intelligence
As AI deployment continues shifting from centralized cloud processing to distributed edge-side intelligence, demand for compact and cost-efficient AI computing modules is growing across smart manufacturing, public safety, logistics, and infrastructure. Many organizations now seek local AI inference to reduce bandwidth dependence and improve real-time responsiveness. In this landscape, low-power and scalable edge modules are becoming essential building blocks for AI-driven devices and industrial automation.
In response to these evolving market needs, Forlinx Embedded Technology is proud to announce the official release of the FET1126Bx-S (Rockchip RV1126B/RV1126BJ) Industrial System on Module (SoM). Specifically engineered for edge-side AI computing, this compact module offers a high-performance, cost-effective solution for real-time video analysis and intelligent recognition in demanding industrial environments.
Edge-Optimized Architecture for Real-Time AI
The FET1126Bx-S integrates a quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 CPU (up to 1.6 GHz commercial / 1.3 GHz industrial) paired with a 3 TOPS NPU supporting INT8/INT16 mixed-precision operations, enabling efficient execution of complex AI models such as personnel recognition, object detection, behavior monitoring, and fire or smoke alarms—directly at the edge without cloud dependency.
For rapid deployment, the RKNN toolchain ensures compatibility with major frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Caffe, and MXNet.
Compared to the previous generation, the new FET1126Bx-S delivers significant upgrades in CPU/NPU processing power and transitions to Linux 6.1, ensuring a more powerful and seamless AI development journey.

Rich Connectivity in an Ultra-Compact Form Factor
Only 40mm×40mm with 237 pins led out via stamp hole and LGA connection. (140 stamp-hole pins at 1.0 mm pitch + 97 LGA pins at 1.27 mm pitch)
All functional pins of the RV1126B/RV1126BJ are fully led out, including display interfaces (MIPI-DSI, RGB LCD), network interfaces (Gigabit RGMII, 100Mbps Ethernet), and various peripherals (CAN FD, UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, ADC, etc.). The GPIO layout is fully compatible with the Raspberry Pi 40-pin standard.
Industrial-Grade Design and Reliability
Designed for long-term deployment, the FET1126Bx-S supports continuous 24/7 operation across −40°C to +85°C, with LPDDR4 memory providing lower power consumption and improved resilience for different industrial environments.
Configurable LPDDR4 memory(1GB, 2GB, or 4GB) and eMMC storage options tailored to application needs: Fixed 64GB eMMC on the commercial variant and 8GB/16GB/32GB eMMC options on the industrial variant.
Each module undergoes rigorous stability and reliability testing in the Forlinx Embedded Laboratory, supporting 10–15 years of product longevity to ensure consistent long-term supply for industrial applications.
Target Applications
Designed for the next generation of smart infrastructure, the FET1126Bx-S is the ideal choice for:
Smart Industries: Real-time production monitoring and equipment inspection.
Smart Parks & Construction: Personnel safety (helmet detection), area intrusion, and smoke/fire alarms.
Edge Computing & AIoT: Embedded vision and local AI inference for diverse IoT sensors.
