Luck-fox Pico Max M RV1106G3 Linux Micro Development Board with Pre-Soldered Header, Integrates ARM Cortex-A7/RISC-V MCU/NPU/ISP Processors (with 256MB DRAM DDR3L)

La compré para utilizarla en una Playstation 4 pro, y funciona muy bien. No es complicada su programación, incluso los payloads se cargan en el navegador de la consola. Prefiero esta board que los dongles que están publicando que podrían dañar el puerto de red colocando mal la consola. Producto muy recomendado!!!

Great quality, good for projects. Product is as described, no issues whatsoever.

I had to go digging around the internet to find documentation on this since it doesn't come with anything. I did track down the manufacturer's website which has a pretty good Wiki page for this. Luckily, though, I found someone else's blog that provided some critical information. The unit fires up off of power from a USB port and provides a virtual Ethernet over USB, allowing you to Telnet into the device. Unfortunately, the Ethernet address used is an open public address rather than in the range of private addresses reserved for internal home and business uses. That could cause users problems. Even more disappointing is that the firmware load apparently doesn't support the onboard Ethernet port directly and you have to load up your own separate Linux load to get to that point. I put it aside as being too much trouble to fool with right now.

These are basically Linux camera boards. These stick ones lack the audio features and LCD output of the ultra (square form factor), but they get a micro SD card slot to expand storage. The NPU lets you do some live image analysis, and the large NAND flash gives space for a small machine learning model.This particular model seems like it would be handicapped by the limited 128MB of memory due to a large portion being dedicated to the camera. If you build without camera support that puts it in a different category of being a pretty full featured network/USB stick Linux device.Doesn't seem like there's mainline kernel support.Luckfox provides some base images to choose from. There is a 3.5GB SDK to build your own images. I built an SPI image with the SDK to take advantage of all the ram. Some limitations are that you have to use Windows to write SD card images. I used a VM for building the image. It took a little over an hour for the build. The build directory was 10GB afterwards so be sure to leave space.When it came to burning the SPI image it was easier on real hardware because the USB device kept changing its identification during various stages. With only 1M dedicated to the camera this device ends up with 120M available to Linux.Lots of questions are well covered in the docs, but can be a little dense.Has additional memory limitation due to the camera having a dedicated buffer. It's about 66MB worth so that can really be limiting on this smaller 128MB board. If you don't need the camera that allocation can be disabled by building an image with the SDK.It ships with a limited busybox image. Easy to get access via the serial console (115200 baud). It also exposes a USB ethernet device on the USB port.

Using this on my PS4. No need for sdcard. After initial setup I turn the PS4 on and within 2 minutes goldenhen is loaded

Finally, a single board computer with some decent web-based support. First, there's a decently comprehensive manual online. Using this manual, I saw that there are a half-dozen, mostly documented ways to boot, including Ethernet. After standing up a DHCP server, I was able to log in.Here are some vital stats:# cat /proc/cpuinfoprocessor : 0model name : ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v7l)BogoMIPS : 26.17Features : half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3 tls vfpv4 idiva idivt vfpd32 lpaeCPU implementer : 0x41CPU architecture: 7CPU variant : 0x0CPU part : 0xc07CPU revision : 5Hardware : Generic DT based systemRevision : 0000Serial : 896d9786a3b8bdbb# cat /proc/meminfoMemTotal: 186388 kBMemFree: 156608 kBMemAvailable: 164516 kBBuffers: 0 kBCached: 11240 kBSwapCached: 0 kBActive: 6140 kBInactive: 9736 kBActive(anon): 220 kBInactive(anon): 4972 kBActive(file): 5920 kBInactive(file): 4764 kBUnevictable: 0 kBMlocked: 0 kBSwapTotal: 0 kBSwapFree: 0 kBDirty: 4 kBWriteback: 0 kBAnonPages: 4656 kBMapped: 7556 kBShmem: 556 kBKReclaimable: 3908 kBSlab: 8288 kBSReclaimable: 3908 kBSUnreclaim: 4380 kBKernelStack: 576 kBPageTables: 416 kBNFS_Unstable: 0 kBBounce: 0 kBWritebackTmp: 0 kBCommitLimit: 93192 kBCommitted_AS: 19044 kBVmallocTotal: 1032192 kBVmallocUsed: 3580 kBVmallocChunk: 0 kBPercpu: 32 kBCmaTotal: 67584 kBCmaAllocated: 12 kBCmaReleased: 67572 kBCmaFree: 0 kB# df -kPFilesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted onubi0:rootfs 185676 61440 124236 33% /devtmpfs 93120 0 93120 0% /devtmpfs 93192 0 93192 0% /dev/shmtmpfs 93192 60 93132 0% /tmptmpfs 93192 496 92696 1% /run/dev/ubi4_0 20640 17540 3100 85% /oem# uname -aLinux luckfox 5.10.110 #1 Tue Nov 14 18:06:04 CST 2023 armv7l GNU/Linux

The Luckfox Pico Max M RV1106G3 is an amazing little board. It's incredibly compact, yet packs a powerful punch with its ARM Cortex-A7 processor, RISC-V MCU, NPU, and ISP. The 256MB of DRAM provides ample memory for running a full Linux system, which opens up a world of possibilities for embedded projects and experimentation.The pre-soldered header makes it easy to connect to breadboards or other prototyping systems. Whether you're a seasoned embedded developer or just starting to explore the world of Linux on microcontrollers, this board is a fantastic choice.

The Pico was shipped in a brown padded Amazon bag and the Pico box was a bit crushed when it arrived. Luckily, the board doesn’t look like it had any damage. Amazon, better QC is needed especially when shipping small electronic components.The Pico came inside an ESD bag to prevent static shock but does not come with cables/wires or documentation.The board is fairly small with an integrated 100Mbit LAN & USB-C ports. The header pins have been pre-soldered to make thing easier. Soldering job is good and clean.It has an RTC battery port so you can connect a battery in situations where you have possible power outage issues, so this will keep the time consistent during the outages.The ribbon connector on the board is non-standard so it’s only compatible with the Luckfox cameras.It doesn’t come with documentation, so you will need to do a browser search for “luckfox pico max wiki” and the 2nd link was the one I used to get to the Getting Started page for the Pico Max.An OS is already installed on the device, so it can be used immediately at startup. I tried a few common Linux commands but a lot of them didn’t seem to work indicating they were unknown commands.I tried shutting down the device, but the common shutdown commands don’t work. Hitting the boot and reset buttons did not help as it just seems to reboot the device. After some research online the command “halt” was recommended and that seemed to work.While off, I left the device connected to the network and power while I was going through the Luckfox Wiki I noticed that my internet went down. Rebooting the modem and router eventually came back online.I tried testing the device again the next day and found my internet went down again approx. 5mins after I ran the “halt” command. It wasn’t until I disconnected the Pico from the network/power that the internet was restored. This is a major issue to take down my home’s internet.I switched the OS image using their Ubuntu image following the links and instructions on the Wiki. I found if you insert a MicroSD card into the slot, it sits on top of the MCU which prevents you from installing a heatsink. Boot up seemed to change the IP address, but because it is based on Ubuntu, it does contain a lot of the commands/programs that I’m more familiar with. Unfortunately, this doesn’t allow shutdown either, any attempt to shut down the device just reboots it, but worse, the reboot causes the device to grab another IP address. The only way to prevent this from happening is to set a static IP address on the device. I tested the same “halt” command, and it does shutdown and power off the device, but after 5mins, will cause my internet to crash again.Overall, the Luckfox Pico Max is a good board for Linux development with decent specs. It has an onboard LAN port, uses a common USB-C connector for power and have header pins pre-soldered so it’ll be easier to wire up devices, but the issues I had with the device taking down my internet is a major issue for me.

The board layout differs slightly from my LuckFox Pico Plus; it comes without any headers installed or included. It features a boot and reset button, which is a convenient upgrade from the Pico Plus, making it easier to enter flashing mode. However, the flash card's position over the chip is somewhat inconvenient for potential heating issues if they ever came up. The addition of an RTC battery header, along with the RV11106, is a nice add on. It arrives preloaded with a test installation, and flashing with the Rockchip SOC tool is quick and straightforward following the wiki. I had no issues installing Alpine Linux on an empty setup, ready for any project. I'd strongly suggest acquiring a USB FTDI board for initial setup, as it greatly simplifies configuration before SSH is operational. This is a very capable board, with numerous GPIOs and functions that I'm excited to explore, offering a range of project possibilities in a remarkably compact form factor. I am growing quite fond of the Luckfox lineup and this model is well worth your consideration for the few extra feature it provides.

The UeeKKoo Luck-fox Pico Pro RV1106G2 Linux Micro Development Board is ready to use for your Linux projects.Load an SD card with the operating system from the Luck-fox wiki website and insert in the SD card slot. Follow the wiki instructions to get going. The instructions are a bit sparse, so perhaps this is not for beginners. It should be fine for experienced developers.The board has a lot of features such as the 128MB RAM, GPIO pins, camera input, ethernet on board and USB-C (2.0) connection.Looks like a good board for experimenters or low volume IoT applications that need more power than an Arduino. With the camera and processing power it would be good for image recognition and AI applications.

I stop after spending too much time figuring out how to get through Rockchip Toolkit and firmware download link that point to several version that does not match the board. The wiki documentation is ambiguous.

This is the luckfox Pico Max, a micro development board, it borrows many qualities that we love from our favorite development boards, like a wide range of configurable GPIO interfaces from Arduino, and full Linux and Python support from raspberry pi. It even introduces features I've never seen before in a development board like the NPU for AI neural networks processing!Getting started is unfortunately a very painful and frustrating process, documentation is poor, and you need to get creative to work around the broken parts of the setup process, also, you'll need:- a windows PC,- a micro SD card reader,- a micro SD card,- to install multiple sketchy unsigned windows applications downloaded from google drive folders.- knowledge of Linux, docker, git to work around the errors that may happen.The board should have been bundled with a preconfigured SD card to ease the process.I got the board to work by loading the OS to the SPI storage, I attached a screenshot of the actual resources on the board. Python was pre-installed, the manufacturer's wiki has a limited number of examples of what the board can do. But it could have been much more interesting with more examples.I tested GPIO and successfully controlled LEDs using command line and Python, I also tested the I2C interface and connected to an LCD screen (pictured) . The script to do that was not from the manufacturer, but it was adapted from a raspberry pi tutorial.I didn't test the AI capabilities, but there are examples to run a real-time object identification application.The board does not have Wi-Fi, but only an Ethernet port, the USB port is mainly used to power the board, but I think I can turn it into a host port to expand the board.In conclusion, this is a powerful little development device, I just hope the manufacturer will keep working on the documentation, and improve the onboarding process.
