1.1. Device Overview#
Cutting-edge performance for autonomous mobile robots (AMR)
Due to its top performance CPU in parallel with GPU and NPU, algorithms can be based on rules, statistical methods, and neural learning. The Rockchip RK3588 is a low-power octa-core processor for Internet of Things (IoT) devices with artificial intelligence (AI). It features four ARM Cortex-A76 and four ARM Cortex-A55 cores, a Mali G610 GPU, and an NPU with up to 6 TOPs. The 64-bit-capable ARMv8 cores support both ARM Cryptographic Extension (for wire-rate AES cryptography) and AdvSIMD vector processing. The JAGUAR SBC-RK3588-AMR uses up to 16 GB LPDDR4X memory and up to 256 GB eMMC storage on board, and optionally external storage media such as NVMe/SSD, and SD card.
Native support of four high-resolution cameras
The JAGUAR SBC-RK3588-AMR module provides MIPI-CSI interfaces for four high-resolution cameras. Using a MIPI-CSI interface not only reduces the costs of camera modules, but also provides a continuous stream of raw video data into the processor – regardless of USB or Ethernet protocol. The four cameras can be grouped into two pairs that are synchronized (vsync), enabling their data to be easily combined into an accurate 3-dimensional point cloud. In addition to the video input signal, the two camera ports can also receive the signals of Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) integrated in the cameras, allowing to track accelerations and turns.
Simple integration into the design of your robot
The JAGUAR SBC-RK3588-AMR comes with common ports for the various interfaces, which provides both simple interfacing to the robotic device and low connector costs for the overall product. Additional interfaces can be utilized by an optional extension board that plugs into a specific connector called a “mezzanine” connector because it adds a second floor. The JAGUAR SBC-RK3588-AMR operates from a single power input with a voltage range of 12 to 24 V. While its consumption under load is a moderate 18 W, it provides up to 35 W for devices attached via PCIe and USB. It also routes the voltage input to an optional extension board on a mezzanine connector. Last but not least, the Rockchip RK3588 is located on the bottom of the PCBA as the highest element on this side, which means that, heat can be easily dissipated by simply interfacing the Rockchip RK3588 to the chassis with a thermal conductor.
State-of-the-art security for your assets
The JAGUAR SBC-RK3588-AMR features a secure element in addition to the capability to enable a Secure Boot mechanism. This secure element is based on the GlobalPlatform 2.2.1 compliant JavaCard environment. Secure boot guarantees that only signed images can run on the device. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a government-grade security solution for all identification, key-storage and asset-protection requirements. The Common Criteria (EAL6+) certified security module ensures that you never have to sacrifice security for performance again.

1.2. Precautions#
Warning
ESD Sensitive Device
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static electricity. Therefore, care must be taken during all handling operations and inspections of this product, in order to ensure product integrity at all times.
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational purposes unless it is otherwise protected. Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. Where a safe work station is not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically discharged before touching the product with hands or tools.
