Summary of OPENEMBED RELEASES EM3399 ROCKCHIP RK3399 SOM PLUS AN EVALUATION KIT
OpenEmbed launched the em3399, a System-on-Module (SoM) based on the Rockchip RK3399 processor. It features DDR3L RAM up to 4GB and eMMC storage up to 128GB. The module supports various display interfaces including HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2, along with dual MIPI-CSI camera inputs and Gigabit Ethernet. An optional evaluation board, the emPAC-RK3399-EVB, stacks onto the SoM to provide additional connectivity like WiFi/Bluetooth and extended GPIOs for development purposes.

If you are still on the lookout for a system-on-module based on Rockchip RK3399, then another SoM to put for consideration is the OpenEmbed em3399. OpenEmbed has launched their first system-on-module referred to as the em3399 SoM board and even comes with an optional “emPAC-RK3399-EVB” evaluation board.
The em3399 SoM supports 2GB to 4GB DDR3L RAM and 16GB to 128GB eMMC 5.1. It provides support for HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, MIPI-DSI (dual-channel) and eDP 1.3 display interfaces. It comes with a 2x MIPI-CSI camera interface, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, USB type C, USB 2.0, SPi, i2C, GPIO and several others.
The following are some of the specifications of the OpenEmbed em3399:
- SoC – Rockchip RK3399 hexa-core processor with 2x Cortex-A72 cores, 4x Cortex-A53 cores, and an Arm Mali-T860MP4 GPU

he emPAC-RK3399-EVB evaluation board has the same footprint as the em3399 SoM and stacks on top of the module via a dual 120-pin connector. The em3399 SoM is layered between the carrier board on top and also a heatsink on the bottom.
The emPAC-RK3399-EVB development board extends the em3399 with single a Gigabyte Ethernet port, USB 3.0, and USB Type-C ports, as well as dual USB 2.0 ports. It also extends out the HDMI 2.0 port, an audio jack, and MIPI-CSI and eDP connectors. A Wireless WiFi/Bluetooth module is available, and 20 GPIO pins have been extended out as well.
