RK3229 is a high performance Quad-core application processor for smart TV-Box. Especially it is a high-integration and cost efficient SOC for 4K 10-bit H.265/H.264/VP9 TV-Box. Quad-core Cortex-A7 is integrates with separately Neon and FPU coprocessor, also shared 256KB L2 Cache. The penta-core GPU including one geometry processors (GP) and dual pixel processors (PP) and dual core 2D GPU engine, support smoothly high-resolution display and mainstream game.
Lots of high-performance interface to get very flexible solution, such as multi-pipe display with HDMI2.0, TV Encoder. Trust Zone and crypto hardware is integrated for support security BOOT. 32bits DDR3/LPDDR3 provides high memory bandwidths for high-performance.
Overview
RK3229 have very good Linux support including U-Boot, kernel, graphics, video decoder and encoder.
