Rockchip RK3566 SoC Overview: Specifications & Applications
The RK3566 (also written as Rockchip RK3566) is a mid-range, power-efficient application processor that shows up in a lot of modern embedded products: single-board computers (SBCs), smart displays, lightweight edge gateways, entry NAS/router appliances, and general-purpose “AIoT” devices that need solid multimedia and I/O without the cost (or power draw) of flagship silicon. It occupies ... Read more
Tightly Coupled Memory (TCM) Explained
Tightly coupled memory (TCM) is a small, fast on-chip RAM that connects directly to a CPU core via a dedicated low-latency memory interface, instead of through the regular system interconnect (AHB/AXI), where caches, bus arbitration, and other masters compete for bandwidth. The goal of tightly coupled memory (TCM) is predictable, high-performance access—often close to “single-digit ... Read more
Mali-G615 MC2 GPU Explained
The Mali-G615 MC2 is an Arm GPU configuration that shows up in modern, power-conscious mobile and embedded-class SoCs. To understand what it is (and what it is not), it helps to separate three ideas: Mali-G615 is the GPU family (microarchitecture + feature set). MC2 describes a 2-core configuration (Arm uses “MC” to indicate core count ... Read more
ARM Cortex-A53: 64-bit Processor
The Arm Cortex-A53 is one of the most widely deployed 64-bit application cores in mobile and embedded systems. It was introduced as a low-power, energy-efficient implementation of the ARMv8-A architecture and has powered everything from budget smartphones and single-board computers to set-top boxes and many SoCs used in industrial and consumer devices. This article explains ... Read more
