Radxa is donating some free ROCK3 computing modules to open source hardware projects.
Send a new PR to this repository on GitHub, append your application table(sort Project Name). Radxa team will review/ask questions/discuss about the project detail. If the project is interesting or welcomed by the community, we will approve it. Radxa Team will contact the developer for the further sample shipping&development etc.
| Project Name | CM3 Model | Hardware(Carrier Board) | Software | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI-Speaker | RM116-D8E* | Custom design | AI Speaker | We would like to release something like Home Assistant Amber dev board with Radxa CM3 |
| Buildroot | RM116-D1E0 | Radxa E23 | Buildroot | Adding CM3 support for buildroot |
| currypi | RM116-D8E* | CurryPi | Linux | Pictures |
| Device Farm | Any | Any | Device Farm | DEVICE.FARM is a platform to deploy containerized services to IoT devices, similar to Balena. We need the board for testing before we publish them as supported. |
| K3s ARM cluster | RM116-D8E8 | 6 x Rpi CM4 | Ubuntu | Testing Kubernetes on AArch64 micro clusters |
| Lemuria IIoT | RM116-D1E8(W) | Custom design | Yocto/Buildroot (TODO based on Rockchip buildroot/mainline kernel) | Upcoming open souce Industrail IoT hardware with following key features, 12 - 75V DC wide operating range, 5 x UART (RS232/485), 2 x CANFD, 6 x Digital Output, 6 x Digital Input, 4 x Analog Input, 2 x Ethernet, Security (TPM - SLB9670, ATECC608B), 1 x M2.0 for CAT 4 LTE, RTC (with super capacitor), 1 x USB Host port, 1 x MIPI DSI (for future expansion of panel PC). Currently the version 1 of the hardware is functional tested with RPi CM4 and SOQuartz (external eMMC with manual patching). Plan is to deliver the functional software based on custom embedded Linux based on Buildroot/Yocto. Note: Project will be open sourced with documentation after test completion for Version 2. |
| MSLA resin printers | RM116-D4E32W | Currently the RPi CM4 + LCD | Raspbian/Linux | The project is currently in experimental state, I am working on Linux driver for current state-of-the-art LCDs featured on resin printers. However, these LCDs use 2x 4-lane MIPI interface, thus I am experimenting with multiplexing MIPI on Rpi CM4 (which sucks). This is why I am reaching out to you - as ROCK3 features 2x 4-lane MIPI! This is a killer feature for such a project. Just to give you context; the resin 3D printing is extremely limited a dominated by Chitusystems. They have terrible closed ecosystem, unlike the open ecosystem available for FDM printers. It is really hard for open project to start, as there is a big obstacle in driving high-resolution LCDs required for these printers. |
| NixOS | RM116-D4E32W | Radxa E23 | NixOS | - |
| OpenBSD | RM116-D8E32W | Radxa CM3 IO Board (or Radxa E23) | OpenBSD | I would like add support for the Radxa CM3 to OpenBSD and continue to help port UEFI. |
| OpenWRT | RM116-D1E0 | Radxa E23 | OpenWRT | I would like to port Openwrt on CM3 + Radxa E23 carrier board |
| Piunora | Any with WiFi | Piunora Pro | Linux | For compatability testing and new hardware designs |
| sataPi | Any model | Custom PCB design WIP | Debian | sataPi is a project that aims to fill the empty sata bay slots from a pc case with computing power. Since it is inside a pc, the power will be delivered trough standard conectors in pcs like molex or sata power. Project will be fully opensource, and maybe there will be a kickstarter campaign for it. |
| - | RM116-D4E32W | Currently the RPi CM4 + LCD | Raspbian/Linux | Project will be open sourced closer to going on sale, currently it's not public, details and photos can be shared privately. There is some tease photos here. |
