Sample Use Case: Smart Home Gateway

We recently designed an RK3566-based board for a wall-mounted Android panel used as a home automation gateway. It controls other smart devices like lights, curtains, and HVAC systems via ZigBee, Wi-Fi, and RS485.

The SBC features:
• 6-inch touch display
• Dual Ethernet (internal + external networks)
• Custom-shaped PCB to match ultra-slim panel housing
• Power input: 110–240V AC → 5V DC module onboard

Conclusion

The RK3566 platform provides developers and OEMs with a robust and future-proof base for building embedded Android/Linux devices. Combined with Rocktech’s custom design and manufacturing services, it’s a go-to solution for smart control systems, HMIs, and interactive terminals.
