Pine64 Ox64

Overview

The Pine64 Ox64 is an ultra-compact RISC-V single board computer in the Raspberry Pi Pico form factor, built around the Bouffalo Lab BL808 triple-core SoC. At just 51mm x 21mm, it packs three RISC-V cores — a 64-bit T-Head C906 at 480MHz for running Linux, a 32-bit T-Head E907 at 320MHz for real-time tasks, and a low-power T-Head E902 at 150MHz — along with 64MB of embedded PSRAM and triple-protocol wireless connectivity (WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, BLE 5.0, and Zigbee).

The board comes in two flash variants: a 16MB version suitable for RTOS-only applications and a 128MB version with microSD slot capable of running Linux via the community-maintained OpenBouffalo Buildroot distribution. The USB-C port doubles as a MIPI-CSI camera interface, enabling computer vision projects powered by the BL808's built-in BLAI-100 NPU with H.264 encoding capability.

The Ox64 is the most affordable Linux-capable RISC-V SBC available, offering a unique combination of triple-protocol wireless, AI inference hardware, and camera support in a breadboard-friendly package. The active community around OpenBouffalo and Apache NuttX continues to improve software support, making it an excellent platform for RISC-V Linux experimentation and IoT gateway applications.
