The company offers Android 13, Debian, Ubuntu, and ROS, all of which can be found in GitHub repositories. However, after searching for a while, I couldn’t find much documentation or Wiki pages about this board. So the status of the documentation is pretty much the same as last year when I wrote about LucanCat SBC with Rockchip RK3566/RK3568. Another concern with this board is the lack of a heatsink or fan. So far, the company has not provided any updates on this issue.
We’ve previously talked about similar SBCs like Youyeetoo R1, Indianroid Nova, and 9Tripod Pico Pi V2.0, all of which use SD cards for storage. But this is the first time we’ve seen his Raspberry Pi-sized board, which is powered by the Rockchip RK3588S and has a SIM card slot.
You can purchase the EmbedFire LubanCat 4 card computer. In some shops on Aliexpress Here, the “4GB RAM + NO EMMC” version starts at $104.27 and the 16GB + 128GB version starts at $173.22 and above.
