## Description

## Overview

The D-Robotics RDK X5 is a high-performance AI single board computer built for advanced robotics and edge AI applications. It features the Sunrise 5 SoC with an octa-core ARM Cortex-A55 CPU at 1.5GHz, a 10 TOPS Bernoulli Processing Unit (BPU) for neural network inference, and a 32 GFLOPS GPU, delivering substantial AI compute in a compact form factor.

With 8GB LPDDR4 RAM, 4x USB 3.0 ports, dual 4-lane MIPI CSI camera inputs, MIPI DSI + HDMI display outputs, and CAN FD interface, the RDK X5 is designed for serious robotics development. WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 provide modern wireless connectivity, while Gigabit Ethernet with PoE support enables wired deployment without separate power infrastructure.

The board runs Ubuntu 22.04 with native ROS2 support and features a Flash Connect paradigm using a single USB-C cable for programming, data transfer, and debugging. The 28-pin GPIO header exposes 5 UARTs, 8 PWM channels, 3 I2C buses, 2 SPI interfaces, and I2S audio, making it a comprehensive platform for autonomous robots, SLAM navigation, computer vision systems, and industrial AI applications.
