You can be certain that your board will deliver exceptional performance, it’s solid as a ROCK!

Super handy Power On/Off button for safe shutdowns

Fed up with having to type code into the command line to safely shut down your single board computer? The ROCK 5B features a built-in On/Off power button meaning you can perform safe shutdowns at the touch of a button without the risk of corrupting storage. ROCK 5B offers this huge convenience as standard, allowing you to be flexible with your applications.

More OS, more options

ROCK 5B is extremely practical, as it is compatible with multiple operating systems, including Android 12, Debian/Ubuntu Linux, the full implementation of the Arm architecture v8 instructions set, and others.

No storage limitations

ROCK 5B benefits from extensive storage capacity, 8GB RAM, and a high-speed eMMC socket for eMMC modules which can be used for OS and data storage.

Highly compatible with SBC accessories

The 40-pin GPIO expansion header supports a wide range of interface options, providing the board with almost endless connectivity capabilities to ensure outstanding compatibility with an enormous range of SBC accessories.

Unrivaled 8K display

Finally! A single board computer that supports 8K display. With an Arm Mali G610MC4 graphics processing unit (GPU) at its heart, the ROCK 5B is tailor-made for advanced multimedia applications, including games, videos, and signage. The board benefits from camera and display interfaces, two HDMI ports supporting dual displays up to 8Kp60 and 4Kp60 resolution, a micro-HDMI input port supporting up to 4Kp60 resolution, high-quality stereo audio output through a 3.5mm audio jack, and much more.

True thermal management

The ROCK 5B has a PWM fan connector (power out and voltage TBC) and 2 heatsink mounting holes meaning that no matter how high-performance your application may be you can be sure the ROCK 5B will deliver excellent performance under most conditions, we think that’s pretty cool!
