Overview
The FriendlyElec CM3588 is a -based compute module from FriendlyElec's NanoPC / NanoPi Series. Every specification in the table above is transcribed from the manufacturer's own technical data for this exact model.
It ships with FriendlyElec's FriendlyCore (Ubuntu) and FriendlyWrt (OpenWrt) images plus Android options, so the board is usable as an industrial controller, an edge-AI node or a network appliance without a bring-up cycle. Onboard eMMC, an M.2 expansion socket and a 2.54 mm GPIO header make it straightforward to integrate into a product enclosure.
Key Benefits
Rockchip SoC platform with a proven Linux BSP. Onboard eMMC + microSD for a robust, card-less root filesystem. M.2 and GPIO expansion for NVMe, Wi-Fi or cellular add-ons. FriendlyCore / FriendlyWrt / Android images maintained by the vendor. Industrial operating range for embedded and edge deployments.
Applications
Edge AI inference nodes, embedded industrial controllers, machine-vision front ends, digital-signage and kiosk compute, NAS and media servers, robotics controllers, and general ARM/Linux product prototyping.
