Forlinx Rolls Out FET3572-C SoM and OK3572-C Board with Rockchip RK3572
Following the Rockchip RK3572 announcement, Forlinx Embedded has introduced the FET3572-C SoM and accompanying OK3572-C development board. The platform combines an octa-core CPU configuration, 4 TOPS NPU, LPDDR5/LPDDR5X support, and multimedia capabilities extending to 8K decoding.
The RK3572 processor integrates dual Cortex-A73 performance cores together with six Cortex-A53 efficiency cores and is manufactured on an 8nm process. The platform reduces power consumption while supporting robust AI acceleration and multimedia workloads, and integrates a Mali-G310 GPU with Linux and Android software support.
RK3572 architecture overview
For AI acceleration, the integrated NPU provides up to 4 TOPS INT8 performance and supports INT4, INT8, INT16, FP4, FP8, FP16, and BF16 operations together with W4A16 asymmetric MAC processing. The platform supports frameworks including TensorFlow, Caffe, TFLite, PyTorch, ONNX, Android NN, and MXNet.
Example workloads for the platform include image enhancement, super-resolution, speech recognition, face recognition, and license plate recognition.
RK3572 NPU performance
Multimedia capabilities include support for up to 8K decoding and 4K encoding, a 12MP ISP, up to five camera inputs, dual independent displays, and Mali-G310 graphics with Vulkan support for applications such as POS systems, digital signage, commercial displays, and intelligent video systems.
RK3572 multimedia pipeline
The RK3572 also provides storage interfaces including eMMC 5.1, UFS 2.0, SD/MMC, and FSPI, while connectivity and industrial interfaces include PCIe 2.1, SATA 3.1, USB DRD 3.0/2.0, dual Gigabit Ethernet, CAN, I²C, I³C, SPI, UART, SDIO, and DSMC. Native LPDDR5/LPDDR5X support and a four-rank memory controller are also listed.
