Despite its compact size, it’s packed with remarkable features, including Quad core Armv8.2‑A Cortex®‑A55 CPU, Arm Mali™ G52 GPU, Wireless support including WiFi 5, HDMI 2.0 port supporting displays up to 1080p resolution, multiple connectivity and storage possibilities, and it’s compatible with a wide range of software operating systems! Whether you’re an engineer, an IoT enthusiast, or a hobbyist looking to create ground-breaking applications we’re certain that you’ll be blown away by the ROCK 3C. This impressive little board is a reliable and extremely capable platform for bringing your ideas to life.
Key benefits of the ROCK 3C single board computer
Reliable Rockchip SoC
ROCK 3C provides reliable and capable performance based on the Rockchip RK3566 SoC, Quad core Armv8.2‑A Cortex®‑A55 up to 1.6GHz, Arm Mali™ G52 GPU, and 32-bit LPDDR4 1GB RAM. Rest assured that its compact size doesn’t mean it’s lacking features, the ROCK 3C will deliver outstanding performance while leveraging outstanding mechanical compatibility.
WiFi onboard, as standard
The ROCK 3C benefits from 802.11 b/g/n/ac Wireless LAN support including WiFi5 and Bluetooth 5.0 making it the ideal solution for supporting your IoT applications, whether you’re looking to create a smart application that requires a reliable Bluetooth connection, or you just want to connect your board to the internet via WiFi, the ROCK 3C has you covered!
More OS, more options
ROCK 3C is a super practical little board, as it is compatible with multiple operating systems, including Android 11, Debian/Ubuntu Linux, the full implementation of the Arm architecture v8‑A instructions set, and others.
No more storage limitations
You may think the ROCK 3C lacks storage capacity with its 32-bit LPDDR4 1GB RAM, however, it benefits from a high-speed eMMC socket for eMMC modules which can be used for data storage and OS. The eMMC socket is compatible with readily available industrial pinout and form factor hardware.
Highly compatible with SBC accessories
There’s nothing more frustrating than getting a new piece of tech and finding out it’s not compatible with your existing accessories. The ROCK 3C’s 40-pin header supports a huge range of interface options, offering an abundance of connectivity capabilities meaning the 3C is compatible with almost every accessory you could think of! On top of that, the dual functionality of many of the pins opens the possibilities for advanced accessories, the sky is the limit!
Supports 1080p display
With an Arm Mali™ G52 graphics processing unit (GPU) at its heart, the ROCK 3C is ideal for multimedia applications, such as videos, and signage. The board benefits from camera and display interfaces, HDMI 2.0 port supporting display up to 1080p resolution, near-CD-quality audio output through a 4-ring 3.5mm audio jack with mic input, and more.

We are excited to announce our team will be traveling to Amsterdam for The Things Conference on September 22nd-23rd, where Arduino will be among select exhibitors. The Things Conference is the world’s largest conference about LoRaWAN®, bringing together the industry’s major players contributing to this technology’s development in a two-day deep dive dedicated to making business operations smarter. This year’s edition will focus on the main topic of digital transformation – as seen through the lens of LoRaWAN®, of course! Connect with us at The Things Conference Don’t miss your chance to meet our experts in person at Amsterdam’s The Kromhouthal – a former marine engine factory now turned into a unique event venue. We’ll be showcasing some of our best LoRaWAN® products and solutions: The Portenta Vision Shield LoRa®, designed to boost Arduino Pro’s H7 module with the capability to run embedded computer vision applications, connect wirelessly via LoRa® to the Arduino Cloud (or third-party infrastructure), and activate systems upon the detection of sound events; The Portenta Max Carrier, which can augment Portenta H7 or X8 with LoRa® connectivity and transform existing Arduino Pro modules into single-board computers or reference designs that enable edge AI for high-performance industrial, building automation and robotics applications;The Arduino MKR WAN 1310, an entry-level option featuring the renowned versatility of the MKR family: a practical and cost-effective solution to add LoRa® connectivity to projects requiring low power;Last but not least, the newly launched WisGate Edge Lite 2 and WisGate Edge Pro: ready-to-use, industrial-grade gateways for LoRaWAN® connectivity powered by RAKwireless™. On September 22nd, the packed schedule of The Things Conference also includes a keynote by Sebastian Romero, Lead Interaction Designer & Creative Technologist at Arduino: “Predictive Maintenance with an Arduino-based
