Everything you wanted to know about Rock64

Posted by Kksb cases on February 22nd, 2019

The Rock64 is a single board computer, the size of a credit card. The 4K60P HDR computer gets its power from Rockchip RK3328 Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 64-bit processor. This is a change by the manufacturers from the previous products as they were mostly based around the Allwinner processors.

The Rock64 can support up to 4GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 memory. The computer board has the ability to be integrated with various devices and sensors. In this regard it has the eMMC module socket, Pi-2 Bus, MicroSD card slot, USB 3.0, Pi-P5+ Bus, Gigabit Ethernet and several other interfaces for peripheral devices.

There is no denying the fact that the new computer board is definitely loaded with new features and objectives. However, what is astonishing about the new board is its shape. It has somewhat taken the Raspberry Pi form factor as it is becoming more popular and the standard in computer boards.

Similar to the Raspberry Pi

The Rock64 is more like the Raspberry Pi. While the Pine A64 had several shortcomings, it was also criticized because of its large size. The new Beagleboard Case is much more compact and in fact the Rock64 could fit in the Raspberry Pi case very easily. Therefore, if you are unable to buy the Rock64 case, you can use the Pi cases without any problem.

The Rock64 also has 40-pin header block that is compatible with any Raspberry Pi. There is also a secondary header block that complies with the Raspberry Pi P5 header.

The crux at the moment is mainly on the price of the processor. Although the features of the computer are fine and it is pretty cheap to use the machine for various computing processes, manufacturers are mostly competing on keeping the prices low while providing better features than ever.

Things Required to Operate

When you buy the Rock64, there are certain things that you need to buy before you can operate or use it. These things are as follows:

  • Power supply
  • MicroSD or eMMC card
  • Rock64 case
  • HDMI cable
  • USB-UART module

You can buy the various things required from the respective stores and shops. When looking for the best quality Rock64 case, ensure that you have the correct parameters to look into.

When looking for the ideal case for your Rock64, you must consider the following factors:

  • Rigid Design
  • Fire air flow / ventilation
  • Fire protection
  • Aesthetic aspects
  • Production cost

The style of the case is such that you can easily use all the ports and modules. The case is made of solid stainless steel and is very robust. The material of the case is fire proof and there is ample ventilation for the hot air to blow out and keep the processor cool. Aesthetically speaking, the Rock64 case is good to look at.

Look for the ideal case for your requirement at any of the online stores. You can compare and shop to find the best quality case for your requirement.
