Sorry, I’m in China Mainland, but I ordered the R3 code in this website. Would I buy it with the R3 Code directly?

#281

Welcome to Radxa forum @darkstar

Happy to see you here.

#282

I don’t get your question. R3 code is to make sure you can buy ROCK5B in time.

#283

Are there any plans to release passive heat sinks that could be bought as well?

It would be super cool to have a aluminum heat sink that was 100mmx90ish so you could go fanless.

I’m guessing it would require some machining or a vapor-chamber/heatpipe for board clearance though.

Hello, I have a question about the R3 code, I am interested in getting a Rock 5 Model B. However, I haven’t decided whether I should get a 4gb or 8gb version, would it be possible to change my option when the rock 5 becomes available if I purchase an R3 code with 4gb model in allnet?

#285

yes, it’s possible to choose which ram version when we start shipping. I suggest choosing 8GB.

Is there an initial cost estimate for the 8GB Rock5 B?

For comparison, Pine has just announced their RK3588 based QuartzPro64, and they have stated that it will cost north of $300 US.

#287

They also had normal prices in the shop even if none avail.

#288

You do understand that the cost is specified in first post?

#289

Thanks for the reply! Just pre-ordered my 8gb, can’t wait to see it!

2-lanes mipi is a shame for such a powerful device. 4-lanes MIPI DSI and 4-lanes MIPI CSI for 5B.

That’s a great news for the Rock 5!

Since it was mentioned in Allnet :

MIPI CSI 2 lanes via FPC connector, support up to 8MP camera

Can someone explain me what opportunities the hdmi in port provide?

#294

Hi @fr0gro, as my Rock5 will be replacing an aging home theater PC (htpc), hdmi in gives the option for use as a digital audio input.
