Rock 5 Model B 8GB
The ROCK 5B truly takes performance to a new level with the super powerful Rockchip RK3588 SoC, packed with some incredible class-leading features, such as 8K displays (yes 8K!) and Android support, capable to run even the most demanding multimedia and industrial applications. With a Quad Arm Cortex A76 CPU, Quad Arm DynamIQ Cortex A55 and an Arm Mali G610MC4 GPU, the ROCK 5B is a robust and high-performing single board computer that incorporates an onboard stereo audio jack, on/Off power button, dual HDMI ports supporting displays up to 8Kp60 resolution, a fan connector and an eMMC socket.
Overview
Reliable hardware - robust performance based on the Rockchip RK3588 SoC, Arm DynamIQ Quad Cortex - A76 @ 2.2/2.4GHz, Quad Cortex - A55 @ 1.8GHz CPU, Arm Mali - G610MC4 GPU and 8GB 64bit LPDDR4 RAM.
Incredible 8K display support - the Arm Mali G610MC4 graphics processing unit (GPU) allows the ROCK 5B to support the most advanced multimedia applications, including games, videos, and signage, supporting dual displays up to 8Kp60 and 4Kp60 resolution.
Power On/Off button - allows safe shutdowns with no risk of corrupting storage.
Compatible with several operating systems - including Android 12, Debian/Ubuntu Linux, the full implementation of the Arm architecture v8 instructions set, and others.
Extensive storage capacity – features 8GB RAM and a high-speed eMMC socket for eMMC modules which can be used for OS and data storage.
40-pin GPIO expansion header - supports a wide range of interface options.
PWM fan connector – with this onboard fan connector and 2 heatsink mounting holes, the ROCK 5B will stand anything, no matter how high-performance your application may be.

Install FLECS Marketplace on the Portenta X8
FLECS and Arduino Pro are partnering to make Industry 4.0 easier for you. FLECS is the easy-to-configure and open-source platform that allows industrial users to work with automation solutions dedicated to their machinery just as easily as we all handle the apps on our phone: install, manage and configure via web interface, and let the system keep track of versions and ensure updates. All you need is a Portenta X8 – our powerful, industrial-grade SOM with Linux OS preloaded onboard: connect it to your computer via USB, install FLECS for free (with, literally, one line of code), and access the FLECS UI to pick the right solution for production control, communication, SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition), data analysis, fleet management and more. Deploying Linux applications has never been more straightforward: we could say it’s as easy as 1-2-3 – except there are actually only 2 steps to the whole process. “We are excited to offer the huge Arduino user community immediate access to our automation applications, so anyone can build and boost a wide variety of solutions for industrial contexts. It’s all made possible by Portenta X8, a groundbreaking product bringing Linux into the Arduino ecosystem.” – Patric Scholz, Managing Director at FLECS Indeed, while on one side you can now leverage all FLECS solutions in a few commands and clicks, on the other you will be working with one of Arduino Pro’s highest-performance modules: Portenta X8 is basically two industrial products in one, with the power of no less than 9 cores (an NXP i.MX 8M Mini Arm® Cortex®-A53 quad-core, up to 1.8GHz per core + 1x Cortex-M4 up to 400MHz, plus the STMicroelectronics STM32H747 dual-core Cortex-M7 up to 480MHz +M4 32-bit MCU up to 240MHz). And of course, the “superpower” of all Arduino products: being part of a comprehensive ecosystem of open-source hardware, software solutions, Cloud services and amazing community-based support.
