Description
The D-Robotics RDK X5 is an edge AI developer board designed to power intelligent ROS robotics projects. Equipped with an 8-core processor, a 10 TOPS NPU, and 4GB of LPDDR4 memory, it executes complex vision and neural network models directly on autonomous hardware. It is ideal for robotics students, educators, and makers developing advanced autonomous systems.
10 TOPS edge AI acceleration
The onboard NPU delivers 10 TOPS of dedicated processing power to run advanced AI models, including Transformers, directly on the edge. Backed by an 8-core CPU and 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, the kit executes real-time inference without reliance on cloud connectivity.

Industrial networking and wireless connectivity
Engineered for autonomous robotics platforms, the board integrates dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 alongside Gigabit Ethernet with PoE support. A dedicated high-speed CAN FD interface enables robust integration into industrial networks and motor controllers.

Dual MIPI camera perception
Two 4-lane MIPI CSI inputs provide direct hardware support for stereo vision systems and multi-camera perception setups. The platform accelerates deep learning algorithms for reliable keypoint matching and motion estimation across challenging lighting and low-contrast conditions.

Flash Connect debugging and Ubuntu support
The board runs Ubuntu 22.04 to integrate directly with the open-source ROS ecosystem. Flash Connect technology enables single-cable Type-C system programming, data transfer, and serial debugging to streamline your workspace.

Efficient edge vision model deployment
The RDK X5 is optimised for high-performance computer vision workloads, supporting on-device deployment of object detection models like YOLO. Dedicated multimedia processing delivers 4K H.264 and H.265 video encoding and decoding at up to 60 fps.

Comprehensive display and peripheral expansion
Interface options include an HDMI port supporting 1080p60, a 4-lane MIPI DSI connector, four USB 3.0 Type-A host ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack. A 28-pin GPIO header supplies reconfigurable lines for UART, PWM, I2C, SPI, and I2S peripherals.
