Forlinx has unveiled the OK153-S, a new single-board computer that combines ARM and RISC-V processors for versatile industrial applications. Based on the FET153-S system-on-module, it supports Linux and offers multiple connectivity options. The device targets developers needing both data processing power and real-time performance.
The OK153-S single-board computer, developed by Forlinx, builds on the FET153-S system-on-module (SOM) mounted on a carrier board. This design enables it to function similarly to a Raspberry Pi, with standardized connections for easier integration. At its core is the Allwinner T153 SoC, which integrates four ARM Cortex-A7 cores alongside a RISC-V E907 chip. According to Forlinx, this hybrid architecture suits the OK153-S for "powerful data processing and applications with high real-time performance requirements."
Memory configurations vary by model: 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB of DDR3 RAM, paired with 256 or 512 MB of NAND storage, or eMMC options up to 8 GB. The board runs Linux 5.10, a version familiar to many developers.
Geared toward industrial use, the OK153-S lacks an HDMI port but includes MIPI CSI for cameras and MIPI DSI for display connections. It features two USB 2.0 ports, one USB-A port, one Ethernet port, two RS485 ports, two CAN-FD ports, a nano-SIM slot, and a microSD card slot. These allow connections to external sensors and actuators, enhancing its utility in embedded systems.
Pricing and availability details remain undisclosed at this time.
