Description

Waveshare Luckfox Core3506 Core Board Based On Rockchip RK3506B Chip is a compact core board designed for embedded Linux products, industrial control, smart displays, audio devices, and custom IoT hardware. This SKU corresponds to the Core35060800 version, which is the without eMMC variant and is built around the Rockchip RK3506B with a triple-core Cortex-A7 plus Arm Cortex-M0 architecture.

The Core3506 is designed to simplify hardware development by exposing rich interfaces through 120PIN castellated holes. It supports MIPI DSI, RMII Ethernet, USB, and Rockchip Matrix IO resources for fast integration into carrier boards and finished devices. This Core35060800 version is aimed at designs that prefer flexible external storage schemes instead of onboard eMMC.

Features

• Rockchip RK3506B SoC with triple-core Arm Cortex-A7 and Arm Cortex-M0.
• 512MB DDR3L onboard memory for embedded Linux workloads.
• Without onboard eMMC, suitable for designs that use external storage planning.
• 120PIN castellated holes for easier carrier board integration and product development.
• MIPI DSI 2-lane interface supporting up to 1280 1280 @ 60fps.
• 2 USB OTG 2.0 for flexible connectivity.
• 2 10M / 100M RMII Ethernet interfaces for network-capable embedded designs.
• Rockchip Matrix IO with flexible multiplexing for peripheral adaptation.
• Analog differential microphone interface and additional embedded resources such as ADC and FSPI.
• Compact 32 32 mm form factor for space-constrained products.

Specifications

Applications

Other Content

Version options exist in the Core3506 family, and this SKU is specifically the Core35060800 version without eMMC.

Highly integrated and powerful performance is one of the main strengths of this core board, especially for products that need flexible peripheral routing and compact SoM-style deployment.

Development resources and what’s on board are important when using this module in a custom carrier board or embedded product design.

Product show is also useful for understanding the physical layout of the module before integration.

Some pin resources are multiplexed, so detailed interface mapping should be checked in the documentation before hardware design. You can also review OpenELAB articles on Waveshare ecosystem and embedded device setup basics for related development context.
