i wanne use the new rk3588 as lightbrowsing computer and as external hdd with build in computer for accesing: manipulating the data on the nvme as i desire and use it as media center.all of this in pocket size
Its balance and a RK3588 is likely to be the 1st real low end desktop sbc experience once we have full MESA drivers and various hardware have been pushed upstream.
We have a release approx Nov for early adopters but likely it could be another year or 2 down stream.
RK3588 can be said to be the general-purpose ARM SoC chip with the most abundant interfaces at present. The chip performance is also very balanced, and the video decoding ability is very prominent. It will have a wide range of applications in the audio and video field. Therefore, RK3588 is oriented to high-end industrial applications, while RK3588S frame is similar to RK3588, but with fewer interfaces, it is mainly oriented to consumer products. RK3588S has fewer video input and output interfaces, type-c interfaces, SATA interfaces, and RJ45 network ports than RK3588, and RK3588S does not support PCI-E expansion, which makes the positioning of the two clearly differentiated.
Considering that the stacking design of RK3588 and RK3588S is relatively complicated, it is recommended that you consider the product form of the core board and the bottom plate, and B2B connectors are recommended. At present, the height of the connector can be controlled to 0.4mm, and the impact of the connector itself on the thickness of the PCBA has been very small. The core board products have a great effect on reducing the development cost of multiple projects, including the later inventory cost.
The package size of RK3588 is 2323mm, and the package size of RK3588S is 1717mm. RK3588 is more suitable for industrial supplies with little restrictions on product volume, while RK3588S is more suitable for portable equipment. In general, the performance of RK3588 and RK3588S are consistent. If the usage scenario is relatively simple and the interface requirements are not complicated, it is recommended to consider RK3588S, which can effectively control the cost. On the other hand, if it is a product that needs to be used across scenarios and has complex interface requirements, RK3588 is recommended. Judging from the performance design of RK3588, it can meet the iterative needs in the next five years and is very suitable for AIoT applications.
the main diff should be that RK3588S cut down PCIe to 2.1 (2 lanes), which seems to be shared with USB3 host and SATA, and a single GbE only. USB3 OTG is still available (as well as DP alt mode). Wonder if it can somehow replace RK3568 for Rock Pi E (2.5G on one lane, 5G/LTE on the other lane)?
I installed the new image for Orange Pi 5 Plus.
I have a problem mounting BTRFS partition. I tried to find the cause for this and it seems like there is no kernel module for BTRFS. I looked in the code, config andy manjaro-arm / packages / core / linux-rk3588 GitLab hopefully this is the appropriate one, and it looks like the config does not include support for this file system. It has the line:
