TOP PERFORMANCE INTERNET DEVICES
Improved performance of the CPU
Tinker Board 2, which is powered by an Arm 6-core system-on-a-chip (SoC) and features the new 64-bit Armv8 architecture (the Rockchip RK3399), performs noticeably better than other well-known SBC boards. Arm large is another feature. With LITTLE technology, two very different processors are paired in a single SoC using a heterogeneous processing architecture. the large. By automating task allocation, LITTLE software makes sure that every process has the appropriate CPU core. In summary, Tinker Board 2 outperforms many rival SBCs, offering up to almost twice the performance of the original Tinker Board.
Improved performance of the GPU
The Mali-T860, a multi-core GPU that is the best performing model based on Arm’s Midgard architecture, comes pre-installed on Tinker Board 2. With regard to next-generation and legacy 2D/3D graphics applications, Mali-T860 is specifically made for complex graphics use cases and provides full support for OpenGL ES 3.0/3.1, OpenVG 1.1, OpenCL, and other frameworks. The Mali-T860 GPU on Tinker Board 2 increases graphics performance by up to 28% when compared to the original Tinker Board.
DUAL-DISPLAY COMPATIBLE
Tinker Board 2 is capable of producing visually striking output because it can support two displays at up to 4K UHD resolution. For exceptional versatility, it also includes three widely used display interfaces built in: HDMI, DisplayPort over USB-C, and DSI.
BLUETOOTH AND WI-FI
Next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi offers 10 times faster transfer speeds than previous standards with 2×2 dual-band 2.4/5 GHz antennas. The latest Bluetooth 5.0 technology in Tinker Board 2 allows for 2X faster transmit speeds and 4X longer range. Integrated Bluetooth makes wireless connectivity with game controllers, speakers, and headphones easy and flexible.
Rich USB 3.2 GEN 1 connectivity
The Tinker Board 2 has three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and one USB-C port for any-way-up connectivity and 10 times faster data transfer than USB 2.0. The Tinker Board 2’s USB-C connector and USB 3.2 Type-A port can supply 1.5A of power, much faster than USB 2.0 ports. USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C supports OTG and DisplayPort Alt Mode for external displays.
Grow ability for embedded solutions
Header for RTC batteries
Enables timers, startup and shutdown scheduling, and other relevant real-time clock (RTC) functions. Additionally, permits the system clock to maintain time in the event of a mains power outage or other unavailability.
SD card slot on the back
- Basic push-pull mechanism
- A spring-free design increases dependability by preventing unintentional ejection.
Connector for fans
A 2-pin integrated header makes it simple to upgrade for more complex cooling requirements.
INTELLIGENT PROTECTION
Prevention of short-circuit damage
Tinker Board 2 and any linked devices are shielded from overcurrent and short-circuit damage for the duration of their lives by the onboard power integrated circuit and polyswitch.
Protection against electrostatic discharge
ASUS ESD Guards protect against electrostatic discharge up to +/- 15kV in air and +/- 8kV in contact discharge, extending component life while averting damage.
Superior circuit-protecting power design with overvoltage protection
Tinker Board 2 is shielded from harm by an innovative circuit design that includes integrated voltage regulators to prevent unexpected high voltages from unstable or subpar power sources.
SIMPLE TOOL SETUP
With the flexible setup tool included with Tinker Board 2, you can fine-tune every aspect of your system and adjust performance settings to exactly suit your workflow. Initial configuration is as easy as three steps:
Step 1: Decide which CPU Governor mode to use.
Step 2: Configure the CPU and GPU frequencies to their maximum and minimum values.
Step 3: Verify that the operating system is adhering to the configurations made in Steps 1 and 2 using the Monitor panel.
Software for IT management
ASUS IoT Cloud Console
For the purpose of managing and analyzing big data gathered by Internet of Things devices running various operating systems, AICC is a single platform.
- Rapid troubleshooting
- updates or a remote restart
- Analyses and dashboards
The ASUS Industrial Android FOTA
Tinker Board 2 facilitates the remote updating of embedded systems developed on the board with the most recent version of the Android operating system, drivers, and firmware through firmware over-the-air (FOTA) roll-out.
- Global network for content delivery
- Simple upkeep and deployment
- Progress report on FOTA
AID WITH ANDROID 12
Because Tinker Board 2 is designed to run Android 12, it gives you access to a plethora of fascinating and exciting features that aren’t found on some competing SBCs.
Among them are:
Achievement
Improved 3D computing performance with less power consumption and CPU load. Additionally, flexible APIs for simple management of IoT devices connected to the same wireless network are provided by Android 12.
AI-Ready
With the release of version 1.2 of the Android Neural Networks API (NNAPI), which supports additional operations, Tinker Board 2 is now appropriate for machine-learning tasks requiring a lot of processing power.
Safety
Nowadays, AES encryption is up to 5 times less efficient than Adiantum encryption. In particular, TLS 1.3 improves connection performance and makes the transmission process more secure.
What does FOTA mean?
Firmware-over-the-air, or FOTA, is the abbreviation for a particular kind of update system found on many contemporary smart devices, including tablets and smartphones. Since Android is built to accept FOTA updates, updates are a fundamental component of the operating system.
