 there we go all right Dara is checking out this new Rockchip 96 boards hello who are you I'm Patty and this is Dara right there so we're just comparing the size of the Rockchip board with Dara all right that's it yeah that's cool I'll send you the link oh good send me the link yeah so we right here we checking out a really exciting new 96 boards this is the 96 rocks right yeah that's right so the official name is rock is rock 960 and you can find all details about in the 96 board rocks.com let's look around a little bit this is type C port yeah it's got type C yeah well yeah it is indeed not at the moment mandatory but it's highly strongly recommended and this now we have a fun you know we can find itself on the rock 96 and we got two USB 3.0 which give you up to 5G so that's pretty awesome and a USB 2 and then HDMI 4K 60 HDR yes very good point I know we do not have it but we do have a 4K 2K and that's DCP so that's pretty good and the the chipset is in a nice configuration like this with the RAM this good RAM on here oh yeah very good so I think we can't we're planning for two different variant we have 4G with 2G RAM and and also if you look at here we do have PCIe Gen 2.1 which and give you up to four lines so that's pretty awesome what does it do so GPU no PCIe so what can I do you can have SSD card and NVMe storage and Wi-Fi 4G it's a lot of lot of things you can do is it possible to connect that to a SATA well or you would not use a SATA I guess you can because it's you know on the PCIe bus as long as you have the driver ready so we never test it I should say that never test yeah it's brand new it is brand new actually this is just off the oven and this is one of the first batch of engineering sample and also come with the rest of standard 96-bolt low speed and high speed connector with the camera etc and yeah it's very very powerful exciting plus the fact that is it's a very popular platform chipset in the community already and very upstream friendly we put this board you know just off the production line we put the chip within two days with the upstream kernel so this is Rockchip 3399 as Rockchip 3399 yes even as known a as as known as aka OP1 in my Chromebook it's called an OP1 all right so it's in my Chromebook I've been using for last six months yeah imagine that as my main main computing chipset yes so this is powerful enough for it's very powerful actually dual Cortex a72 with quad a53 exactly so that's one thing actually I should mention about this if you notice already the latest that we are announced yesterday released 17.9 machine learning library is optimized for GP it's a 72 53 that is exactly what the chip is capable so I think you people would find starting you know very interesting entry level hopefully even more than that machine learning and AI application using this chip because there are some future chips coming out with built-in on the SOC machine learning AI kind of area on the SOC but all all the chipsets before arm v 8.1 or 8.2 8.2 all the one with 8.1 and below they all they still want to have machine learning absolutely so as I said you know of course people will know that 8.2 award your arm has released dynamic IQ technology but as you said everything before 8.2 and there's just a lot of market and start a lot of interest in fact it's still very very powerful technology and it is I'll believe there's a lot of possibility we can do by enabling the machine learning and AI applications that is you know that's why actually the machine learning library effort is from arm and we believe this chip is a very very interesting and good platform people to start working on platform as such which is at the moment being optimized for the to you know for the usage of those libraries this is a kind of a like a beautiful 96 boards don't you think yeah absolutely it's beautiful I mean I really like how it's done and then you know it's not just the design is quite it's quite slick but also the the board quality is really quite solid nice color nice color and yeah very good choice of the component connectors it's just yeah it feels pretty nice so what's your strategy to make 96 boards more popular than Raspberry Pi oh wow I'm joking but I you have this potential for a lot of growth right yeah yeah I think you know all the difference fundamental difference we've been talking a lot about is differential 96 board from other interesting community project such as Raspberry Pi which was very successful itself by the way and the big goal and the bigger one of course and you would notice that in this connect we also launched the TI 96 board as well and based on latest Wi-Fi chip 3220 so what I would say is 96 boards the core value of it's been SOC independent specification which has really demonstrates a bit capability to really enable the latest and greatest SOC technology across the entire SOC industry and really enable those developers who has long been waiting for all the nice you know SOC technology to carry out their development and for a large great you know for the community and product designer application designer to benefit them from so we've seen a huge momentum in 96 board we believe is going to only going to be better from here we consider Raspberry Pi is a very good community project we set a standard but we are not in any way in terms of competing with Raspberry Pi maybe they could even join the 96 boards project maybe they can they can make the there's some new Broadcom chipsets for TV box and some big big CPU very powerful 15,000 DMIPS and you have the new 96 boards TV spec absolutely so everybody's welcome no and we have 96 board networking networking spec and sounds a lot of interesting project we're working on each one is different design kind of yes they are you know they're tailored different segment market to recommend and you know we have to bring out the realistic capable enough platform for each segmental usage what I would say is we certainly would be very open to work with companies like Broadcom or even Raspberry Pi and Rockchip Rockchip as well of course we open it's an open standard they have some very good engineers right Rockchip has a lot of excellent engineers they should come and hang around with the the narrow guys more often the door is open wide open next next in our connected in Hong Kong in fact it's quite interesting we see this board has actually already been very popular in Rockchip's community as well they have a very successful established their own community but what I would say it's open we welcome them to join we welcome the participation 96 board is about enable people everything open source everything it's kind of slogan but for us it's a lot of actually actual work need to go behind behind the scene but what I would say is that we only did the first step and it's up to you everybody who participate in carries forward what we can say today is everything suggests people love what we do and love who we are to be able to do more about we just would like to welcome everybody joining force Raspberry Pi everybody so yes there was the RMPC there was a big deal at this that was everybody here is excited about the RMPC right with the social next this is enterprise edition board it is indeed a large board so for people who have been following us knows that we have been making attempts trying to help and arm enterprise community if you like and help arms enterprise software developers to be able to have a realistic platform to work on the software stack etc but it's not without trying but we did fail a couple of times and like some others but we didn't stop there so in buddha partially now connect early this year we made a pledge that even though we know it's hard a lot of work has to go into it but made the pledge we would like to be able to have the opportunity to work on and giving the developer community the first 9696 boards on native developer machine and right after that session which apparently have got a lot of inquiry a lot of people are very interesting about we work with the odm gigabyte in this case we work with so even the social net in this case very closely within six months from an idea to actual box obviously a lot of work to be still need to be finished to be done but we have an actual machine arm native motherboard sitting in the demo desk people can play and use so i think that's it something that is something demonstrate not able not only we can do this as long as we believe this is helping the developer community and the soc and odm partners have the belief in it and we actually did it and this is only the starting point because that's how we enable all the good work including the firmware the kernel and the hardest bit of technology enterprise this is only the starting points a lot of people are going to be very very happy when they get this box we are hoping they will be and you hoping to be even more and more busy in the future you hope you want more and more people in the industry to contact you and say i want to be part of this right so we always we always welcome participation so yes our door is always open please drop an email and come to our website and yes we're always busy if there's any delay in response and please accept our apology just send a second email just send a second email to we won't forget about it but normally we handle this pretty well
