Page 5: Introduction
It features an Arm Mali-G610 MP4 quad-core GPU which enables complex use cases from gaming graphics to machine learning (ML). The TIGER SOM-RK3588-Q7 also features an Neural Process Unit (NPU) with computing power up to 6 TOPS with an ability to receive camera sensor input through a MIPI-CSI interface and to process the resulting imagestream in real-time with the powerful ARM processor and NPU cores which enables AI, vision and image-analytics applications. -
Page 6: First Steps
2.1 Insert TIGER SOM-RK3588-Q7 Insert the TIGER SOM-RK3588-Q7 module at a 30-degree angle into the HAIKOU CB-MINI-ITX Qseven con- nector. Once fully inserted, push it down until it rests on the standoffs and check alignment of the mounting holes. -
Page 7: Mount The Fan
2.3 Mount the Fan Using the module for short scripts and a couple of commands does not require a mounted fan. However, as TIGER SOM-RK3588-Q7 is designed for computationally intensive use cases a fan is recommended. 2.4 Power Up For bootloader configuration and Linux console, the serial interface can be used. Connect either a Micro-USB or RS-232 cable to the corresponding port. - Page 8 UART RS-232 +12V RS-485 Power Power Fig. 2.3: Serial console and boot configuration v1.2.0 Page 4...
