Overview
The NanoPi R6C sits between the R5S and R6S in FriendlyElec's router lineup, offering RK3588S octa-core power at a slightly lower price than the triple-Ethernet R6S. With four Cortex-A76 at 2.4GHz and four Cortex-A53 at 1.8GHz, plus a 6 TOPS NPU, it delivers flagship performance.
Networking includes one native Gigabit and one PCIe 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port. The M.2 M-Key PCIe 2.1 x1 slot accepts NVMe SSDs for fast local storage, making the R6C an excellent NAS/router hybrid. With up to 8GB LPDDR4X and 32GB eMMC, it handles demanding workloads including virtualization via Proxmox VE.
HDMI output supports up to 8K, while USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports provide peripheral connectivity. Running FriendlyWrt, Ubuntu, Debian, or Android 14, it's ideal as a high-performance router, media center, or AI edge device.
