Powerful but software needs work
The hardware specs are amazing for a student budget, but I struggled with driver support for some peripherals. If you are comfortable compiling kernels and troubleshooting Linux issues, this is a great value. Beginners might find it frustrating.

Great board, steep learning curve
Hardware is fantastic with plenty of I/O options. However, finding stable OS images for specific use cases took some digging. Once I got Ubuntu running, everything worked flawlessly. Not quite as plug-and-play as a Pi 4 yet, but more powerful.

Incredible performance for the price
The RK3588S chip is a beast compared to older SBCs. I'm running a local LLM and it handles inference surprisingly well. The build quality from Radxa is solid, and the thermal management is efficient even under load.

Solid choice for industrial prototyping
We used this for a factory monitoring prototype. The wide voltage input support and robust connectivity options fit our needs perfectly. Stability has been good over 3 months of continuous operation. Would recommend for professional dev kits.

Best media server board I've owned
Transcoding 4K video streams is smooth thanks to the hardware acceleration. It runs cool and quiet in my enclosure. The M.2 slot allows for fast storage which is a huge plus over standard SD card setups.

Perfect for computer vision projects
The dual CSI camera inputs and the NPU make this ideal for robotics. I connected two cameras and ran object detection simultaneously without lag. The documentation could be better, but the community forums are helpful.
Q: Does the M.2 slot support SATA SSDs or only NVMe?
A: The primary M.2 Key-M slot supports NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDs. For SATA SSDs, you would need to use a USB adapter or check specific carrier board options that might expose SATA lanes differently.
Q: What is the maximum resolution supported for dual display output?
A: It supports dual independent displays. You can drive one 8K@60Hz screen via HDMI 2.1 or two 4K@60Hz screens simultaneously using the available HDMI and DP/DSI interfaces.
Q: Can I run Android on this single board computer?
A: Yes, Radxa provides official Android 12 images optimized for the RK3588S chipset. You can download them from the official wiki along with installation instructions.
Q: Does this board support PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
A: The ROCK 5A does not have built-in PoE. However, you can use a compatible HAT or splitter to achieve PoE functionality if required for your setup.
Q: Is the RAM soldered or upgradeable?
A: The RAM is soldered directly onto the board to ensure signal integrity and compact design. Please select the correct memory configuration (4GB, 8GB, or 16GB) at the time of purchase as it cannot be upgraded later.
