The Orion O6 is a new motherboard, designed for Open Source and offering many possibilities. If you do it with the PCIe-Erweiterungskarten card, the Bildausgabe is another, hauflösende Bildschirme gleichzeitig möglich.

We’re going to have to run it from the Radxa company, which is under another dish reading device in the program. No, the Orion O6 supports is a new motherboard on the market, located on the basis of ARM architecture. Radxa zufolge handelt is the first Open Source motherboard based on the ARM V9 architecture. You can use a Cix CD8180-SoC for easy installation, which offers valuable gems with the Cortex-A720-Rechenkerne with 2.8 and 2.4 GHz and then with the Cortex-A520-Rechenkerne with its processor. In the SoC there is an Arm Immortals G720 MC10-Grafiklösung, which must be an NPU for installation. Deren Leistung wird mit bis zu zu 30 TOPS angegeben, damit lassen sich KI-Anwendungen entsprechend beschleunigen.

The storage processor is found directly on the board, the LPDDR5 storage processor must reach 64 GB. For installing an SSD, you must use an M.2 2280 slot, which spans your 4-lane PCIe network . Nut is a dedicated graphics card or KI unified card can also be used via PCIe, the PCIe slot supports 8 PCIe 4.0 lanes.

Network link is based on network connection with greater operating capacity, so Ethernet ports can be supported with 5 Gigabit data transmission rate, WiFi card can be used with M key .2. There is support for HDMI, DisplayPort, eDisplayPort and USB Typ C, and cameras via MIPI CSI. And like Raspberry Pi 5, there’s a GPIO header, a CPU connector is the easiest to consider, and it’s gold for a touchscreen. Bei Arace Tech can have a model with a large business volume of 8 GB for a cost of 195 euros, and it will use it so far in a simple house and kitchen room.

I am looking for a journalistic activity for several years, from the company Großteil Davon im Bereich Technologie. I’ve gone to war with myself for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase and will since 2017 for Notebookcheck. My main goal is to integrate mini-PCs and platforms like the Raspberry Pi – as well as complete systems with many features. This is a product for all wearables and smartwatch accessory creators. Hauptberuflich bin ich als Laboringenieur unterwegs, weshalb mir weder naturwissenschaftliche Zusammenhänge noch die Interpretation complexer Messungen fern liegen.
