The NanoPi M6 is FriendlyElec's compact general-purpose SBC based on the Rockchip RK3588S. With up to 32GB LPDDR5 RAM — the highest in FriendlyElec's lineup — it's designed for memory-intensive workloads including AI inference, media processing, and virtualization.

The RK3588S delivers 4x Cortex-A76 at 2.4GHz + 4x Cortex-A53 at 1.8GHz with Mali-G610 MP4 GPU, 6 TOPS NPU, and 8K HDMI 2.1 output. An M.2 M-Key slot supports NVMe SSDs, while the M.2 E-Key enables WiFi/Bluetooth modules. Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, dual MIPI-CSI camera inputs, and dual MIPI-DSI display outputs round out the connectivity.

Running Ubuntu, Debian, FriendlyWrt, Android 14, or Proxmox VE, the M6 serves as a high-performance desktop replacement, AI edge device, media center, or development workstation in a 62×90mm form factor.
