## Description

## Overview

The NanoPC-T6 Plus is FriendlyElec's flagship single board computer powered by the Rockchip RK3588 — one of the most capable ARM SoCs available. With four Cortex-A76 cores at 2.4GHz and four Cortex-A53 cores at 1.8GHz, it delivers desktop-class Linux performance in a compact 110×82.5mm form factor.

Memory options span 8GB to 32GB LPDDR5 with up to 256GB eMMC, plus an M.2 M-Key slot for NVMe SSDs at PCIe 3.0 x4 speeds. Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, dual HDMI 2.1 outputs (8K@60Hz), one HDMI input (4K@60Hz), dual MIPI-CSI camera inputs, and dual MIPI-DSI display outputs make it a powerhouse for media, networking, and AI applications.

The integrated 6 TOPS NPU accelerates machine learning inference, while the Mali-G610 MP4 GPU handles graphics workloads. The board runs FriendlyWrt, Ubuntu, Debian, Android 14, Proxmox VE, and Alpine Linux, with a 40-pin GPIO header providing extensive I/O expansion.
