(Updated) Pine64 Unveils Oz64: An Upcoming SBC Featuring Sophgo SG2000 SoC and Wi-Fi 6

Oct 2, 2024 — by Giorgio Mendoza 327 views

The Pine64 Oz64 is an upcoming single-board computer that integrates 64-bit RISC-V cores and 64-bit ARM cores with the Sophgo SG2000 System-on-Chip. This cost-effective device offers fast wireless communication capabilities with Wi-Fi 6 and optional Power-over-Ethernet support.

The Oz64 is powered by the Sophgo SG2000 SoC, which integrates dual T-Head C906 64-bit RISC-V cores operating at 1GHz and 700MHz, an ARM Cortex A53 64-bit RISC CPU core, and an 8051 8-bit core, supported by 512 MB of embedded DRAM.
