RDK X5 AI Board 4 GB 10 TOPS for ROS and AI D-Robotics

The D-Robotics RDK X5 is a single-board computer for robotics and AI. The Sunrise 5 chip combines eight Arm Cortex-A55 cores at 1.5 GHz, a BPU with 10 TOPS (INT8) for neural networks and a GPU with 32 GFLOPS, plus 4 GB LPDDR4. Ubuntu 22.04 and ROS 2 run directly; two MIPI-CSI inputs with four lanes each allow stereo cameras, CAN FD and Gigabit Ethernet with PoE ease integration into robots and machines.
