Product ImagesFAQWhat's the difference between ROCK 5C and ROCK 5C Lite?
The ROCK 5C uses the RK3588S2 SoC with a GPU and higher NPU performance (6 TOPS), while the ROCK 5C Lite uses the RK3582 SoC without a dedicated GPU and lower NPU performance (5 TOPS).
Does it come with an operating system installed?
The board supports common Linux distributions and Android; please check compatible OS images before purchase.
Is a PoE HAT included?
No, a separate PoE HAT is required for PoE functionality on the Ethernet port.
