## Description

# LuckFox Pico Zero

The LuckFox Pico Zero is a feature-packed Linux development board based on the Rockchip RV1106G3 vision processor. Despite its compact form factor, it integrates WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, 256MB DDR3L RAM, 8GB eMMC storage, a 40-pin Raspberry Pi HAT-compatible GPIO header, and a MIPI CSI 4-lane camera interface.

## Key Features

- **Powerful SoC**: RV1106G3 with ARM Cortex-A7 + RISC-V MCU + 1.0 TOPS NPU (int8) + ISP 3.2
- **Wireless**: Onboard WiFi 6 (2.4GHz) and Bluetooth 5.2/BLE with switchable internal/external antenna
- **Storage**: 8GB eMMC + TF card slot for expansion
- **Camera**: MIPI CSI 4-lane interface (dual 2-lane) supporting up to 8MP @ 15fps
- **Audio**: Onboard microphone + speaker header (MX1.25 2P, 8 ohm 1W)
- **GPIO**: 40-pin Raspberry Pi HAT-compatible header
- **RTC**: Battery header for real-time clock backup

## Processor Details

The RV1106G3 SoC integrates:
- **CPU**: ARM Cortex-A7 @ 1.2GHz with NEON SIMD and FPU
- **MCU**: RISC-V co-processor for low-power operation
- **NPU**: 1.0 TOPS (int8) — Rockchip 4th-gen neural processing unit
- **ISP**: 3rd-gen ISP3.2 supporting up to 8MP input with HDR, WDR, 3DNR
