The RK3572 motherboard is a high-performance embedded computing platform built around the Rockchip RK3572 octa-core processor. Designed for applications that require strong multimedia processing, AI acceleration, multiple display interfaces, and extensive peripheral connectivity, the TVI3520R integrates computing, graphics, AI processing, storage, networking, video input/output, and industrial communication interfaces on a compact motherboard. Rockchip's embedded platforms are widely positioned for applications such as edge computing, intelligent terminals, multimedia devices, and industrial systems.
RK3572 Processing and AI Capabilities
The TVI3520R uses the RK3572 processor with a dual-cluster CPU architecture consisting of 2 Cortex-A73 cores and 6 Cortex-A53 cores. It also integrates an Arm Mali-G310V2 MC1 GPU and a 4 TOPS@INT8 NPU with sparsity support. This combination provides a computing platform for applications that require general-purpose processing together with graphics and AI acceleration.
The motherboard supports eMCP and uMCP memory and storage configurations, with a standard configuration of 4GB LPDDR4X and 128GB UFS. This provides an integrated foundation for embedded applications that need both system memory and local storage.
Advanced Video and Display Interfaces
One of the key characteristics of the RK3572 motherboard is its extensive multimedia capability. The system supports hardware video decoding up to 8K@30fps and hardware video encoding up to 4K@40fps, making it suitable for high-resolution multimedia processing and intelligent display applications.
For display output, the motherboard provides HDMI 2.1, dual eDP, MIPI DSI, and Dual LVDS interfaces. It also includes a MIPI CSI input for connecting compatible camera modules. This combination makes the TVI3520R suitable for smart displays, machine vision systems, multimedia terminals, industrial HMIs, and other applications where video input and multi-interface display connectivity are required.
Rich Connectivity for Embedded Applications
The TVI3520R provides a broad selection of communication and expansion interfaces. Networking is supported through an RJ45 port, while Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 provide wireless connectivity. A SIM interface can be used with suitable cellular expansion configurations, while an RJ11 interface provides an additional connection option for specific applications.
The motherboard includes two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, and five USB 2.0 wafer interfaces. For expansion, it provides one M.2 Key-M slot for storage or compute-card expansion and one M.2 Key-B slot for 4G/5G module expansion. A TF card interface is also included for removable storage.
Industrial and peripheral communication is supported through four RS232 interfaces, one RS485 interface, two I2C interfaces, and GPIO. Audio connectivity includes a 3.5mm audio jack, speaker interface, and headphone/microphone interface, giving developers flexibility when building interactive or multimedia devices.
Applications in Edge Computing and Smart Devices
With its combination of CPU, GPU, NPU, high-resolution video processing, camera input, display interfaces, network connectivity, and industrial communication ports, the RK3572 motherboard can serve as a computing platform for edge computing, AIoT, industrial control, smart displays, machine vision, multimedia terminals, and other embedded systems.
The multiple display interfaces are useful for systems requiring different panel technologies, while MIPI CSI can connect camera modules for vision-related applications. M.2 expansion also allows developers to adapt the motherboard to different storage, compute, or wireless communication requirements.
Compact Design and Power Options
The TVI3520R has a board size of 146 mm × 102 mm and supports both 12V and 24V power supplies. Its compact form factor and extensive interfaces make it suitable for embedded equipment where installation space is limited but multiple peripheral connections are still required.
The operating temperature range is 0–60°C. When integrating the board into an end product, developers should consider enclosure design, airflow, thermal management, power requirements, and interface accessibility according to the actual application environment.
Conclusion
The RK3572 motherboard provides a versatile embedded computing solution for applications combining AI processing, high-resolution multimedia, display connectivity, networking, and industrial interfaces. With the RK3572 octa-core processor, Mali-G310V2 MC1 GPU, 4 TOPS NPU, multiple video interfaces, M.2 expansion, USB connectivity, RS232/RS485, and flexible power options, the TVI3520R can be integrated into edge computing systems, AIoT equipment, industrial control devices, smart displays, machine vision platforms, and multimedia terminals.
