The Luckfox Pico Pi series consists of four models with a Raspberry Pi SBC form factor, designed for embedded applications. Offering various processing capabilities, connectivity options, and memory configurations, these boards include PoE support and optional 4G connectivity.

This SBC accommodates the LuckFox Core1106 module seen earlier this year. The series features the Rockchip RV1106 System-on-Chip with a Cortex A7 processor running at 1.2 GHz. NPUs are available on all models, with the G3 variants offering up to 1 TOPS of performance, while the G2 versions provide 0.5 TOPS. Both support int4, int8, and int16 operations.

For video applications, the boards support H.264 and H.265 video encoding. The ISP can handle inputs up to 5 MP at 30 fps. Memory configurations differ between models, with the Pico Pi A and A W offering 256MB of DDR3L RAM, while the Pico Pi B and B W have 128MB. All variants include 8GB of eMMC storage and support additional storage through a MicroSD slot, although booting from the MicroSD is not supported.

Connectivity options vary across the models. The Pico Pi A W and B W support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2/BLE. For wired connections, all models feature a 10/100M Ethernet controller with an embedded PHY. Additionally, an IEEE 802.3af PoE port is available for power-over-Ethernet support.

The boards include a surface-mount microphone, a microphone expansion port, a 3.5mm audio output jack, and a MIPI CSI 2-lane interface for camera connectivity.

The boards support mobile network integration with a Nano SIM slot and an M.2 slot compatible with the SIM7600G-H-M.2 4G module. A DIP switch allows flexible switching between USB-C, four USB-A HOST ports, or the 4G module via the M.2 slot. GPIO compatibility follows the Raspberry Pi 40-pin layout for expanded functionality with peripherals like SPI, UART, and I2C.
