Impressive AI Performance
Runs local LLMs smoothly for an SBC. The NPU really makes a difference compared to my old setup. Great for edge computing projects.

Great Board, Runs Warm
Performance is top notch and compilation times are fast. Just make sure you have active cooling if you push it hard during summer.

Better than Expected
Switched from Pi 5 for a media center project. The video decoding capabilities are superior. Boot times are incredibly quick.
Q: Does the package include a heatsink or fan?
A: Yes, a passive aluminum heatsink is included in the box. A cooling fan is recommended for sustained high-load tasks.
Q: What is the GPIO logic voltage level?
A: The GPIO header operates at 3.3V logic level. Please do not connect 5V devices directly to the GPIO pins.
Q: Does it fit standard Raspberry Pi 4 cases?
A: No, the form factor differs slightly from the Raspberry Pi series. We recommend using cases designed specifically for the Luban Cat 4.
Q: Can I boot the system from an NVMe SSD?
A: Yes, the board supports booting from NVMe SSD via the PCIe interface. You may need to adjust the boot order in U-Boot.
Q: Is Android OS supported on this board?
A: Yes, Android 12 images are available for download on our wiki page along with Linux distributions.
