Electronics giant announces its first single-board computer

ASUS announced its first ITX Tinker V(pictured above) single board computer (pictured above) equipped with a processor based on the RISC-V architecture.

The computer is suitable for developers designing devices for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). It is said to be compatible with Debian and Yocto Linux software platforms.

It is based on a 64-bit Renesas RZ/Five chip containing a single AndesCore AX45MP core clocked at 1.0 GHz. The processor works in tandem with 1GB of DDR4 RAM. For data storage, a microSD card can be used. Optionally, a 16GB eMMC flash module and SPI Flash module can be installed.

There are two 1GbE (RJ45) network ports, one Micro-USB connector and one Micro-USB (OTG) connector each. Two serial RS232 ports and two CAN buses (via connectors on the board) can be used. A 20-pin GPIO strip provides interfaces for 2 × UART, 2 × I2C, 4 × GPIO, 2 × ADC, 1 × SPI, etc. Power is supplied via DC connectors (10-24V). Operating temperature range from -20 to +60 °C.
