Jetway has introduced the SMC-ARK1, a new SMARC system-on-module built around the Rockchip RK3588 octa-core processor. Designed for embedded computing and edge AI applications, the board includes up to 16GB of LPDDR4x memory and up to 128GB of eMMC flash, dual GbE, and an Ampak AP6398SV Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 module, alongside a dedicated HDMI input via an I-PEX FPC connector.We’ve previously written about the Geniatech SOM-3568-SMARC module based on the Rockchip RK3568, but Jetway’s SMC-ARK1 appears to be the first SMARC module we’ve seen based on the Rockchip RK3588. The module follows the SMARC 2.1 short form-factor specification (82 × 50 mm) and can be used with compatible SMARC carrier boards.Jetway SMC-ARK1 specifications:
