SPIDER Automation Waveshare Luckfox Pico Plus RV1103 Linux Micro Development Board | Ethernet & NPU
Description
SPIDER Automation Waveshare Luckfox Pico Plus RV1103 Linux Micro Development Board is an exceptionally capable, miniature single-board computer built for modern AIoT, smart surveillance, and network-connected embedded applications. Powered by the Rockchip RV1103 vision processor, this board pairs a 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A7 core (equipped with NEON and FPU) with a supplementary low-power RISC-V microcontroller.
Distinguished by its built-in 10/100M Ethernet controller and embedded PHY, the Pico Plus variant provides reliable wired network access out of the box. It integrates a dedicated 4th-generation NPU for machine learning, a third-generation ISP3.2 supporting 4MP cameras with hardware-level noise reduction, and smart video compression algorithms that slash bandwidth utilization by over 50%. Supported by a complete Linux software environment, 25 GPIO pins, a MIPI CSI camera interface, and onboard storage, it is the ideal turnkey solution for smart home devices, edge gateways, and industrial vision nodes.
