[[File:rock-5b-hw.png | 600px | right]]

== Processor (1) ==

The SoC powers ROCK 5B is Rockchip RK3588. The main system CPU is a Quad-core ARM Cortex-A76 MPCore processor and quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 MPCore processor, both are high-performance, low-power and cached application processor. Embedded ARM Mali-G610 MP4 3D GPU makes RK3588 completely compatible with OpenGLES 1.1, 2.0, and 3.2, OpenCL up to 2.2 and Vulkan1.2. Special 2D hardware engine with MMU will maximize display performance and provide very smoothly operation. The build-in NPU supports INT4/INT8/INT16/FP16 hybrid operation and computing power is up to 6TOPs. In addition, with its strong compatibility, network models based on a series of frameworks such as TensorFlow/MXNet/PyTorch/Caffe can be easily converted.

== RAM (2) ==

The ram for ROCK 5B is LPDDR 4x, two 32bits LPDDR 4x chips make 64bits, data frequency is up to 4224Mhz. ROCK 5B offers 4GB, 8GB and 16GB ram size options.

== USB Power (3) ==

The Radxa ROCK 5 Model B is designed to be an ARM desktop Single Board Computer with low power consumption. It supports the following power input:

* USB '''PD2.0''' power adapter which support 5v with 5A current or 12V/15V/20V with 2A current or higher output
** See [[Rock5/5b/power_supply | Power supply]] for a power supply compatibility list
** Many power supply won't deliver more than 3 amps at 5v even if the wattage on other voltages are higher.
* Power adapter with fixed 9V to 20V DC voltage and USB C plug

Suisse00: Adding 5v warning about many power adapter not going above 15W while other voltage can delivery more wattage.

{{rock5_header}}
{{Languages|rock5/FAQs}}

__TOC__

== General ==

===== Q: Get connection with Community =====

* Forum: http://forum.radxa.com
* Discord: https://rock.sh/go
* QQ Group: 591048098
* [[Rockpi4/contribute | How to contribute to this wiki, refer ROCK Pi 4 contribution page]]

===== Q: Rock 5B will have WiFi 6E support. Does the new rock 5b board come with a (6E) wifi chip. Or will this be purchased separately? =====
: WiFi Card is not included by default since different users require different WiFi speed. The Radxa team recommends a wifi card with RTL8852BE chip for a balance between price and performance.

===== Q: Without eMMC and TF card, can ROCK 5B boot from PCIe M.2 NVME SSD? =====
: Yes. ROCK 5B can boot from PCIe M.2 NVME SSD.
: ROCK 5B is equipped with one 16MB SPI Nor Flash and PCIe M.2 M-Key connector.
: SPI Nor Flash stores bootloader. And NVME SSD stores whole system image (at least kernel and rootfs).
: For image writing, please refer to this guide. [[rock5/guide/spi-nvme-boot | SPI Nor Flash and PCIe NVME SSD boot]].

===== Q: Also, are heatsinks and fans included in the price? =====
: No, the heatsink and fan are not included by default.

== Power Supply ==
===== Q: My new ROCK 5B can not boot / stuck in infinite boot loop =====
: ROCK 5B supports USB PD power negotiation to higher voltage such as 9V, 12V, 15V, 20V to meet the total system power load requirements(around 30W with WiFi, SSD, USB peripherals etc). Currently the PD negotiation is implemented in the kernel driver, we need to boot to the kernel to start negotiation, however some Power Supply can not wait the ROCK 5B to negotiate and cut the power off when timeout, which cause the infinite boot loop. We provide the following suggestions:

* Use official Power Supply - [[Rock5/accessories/radxa-power-pd30 | Radxa Power PD 30W]]. (Strongly recommended) The Radxa Power PD 30W is tested with all conditions on ROCK 5B.
* Use faster SD card or eMMC module and disable the bootloader/kernel serial console
* Use a dummy 12V USB C power supply
* Check the other [[Rock5/5b/power_supply | Power Supply]] status reported by the community.
* Wait for Radxa's porting of the PD negotiation to the bootloader(u-boot)
* Double check your power supply can deliver the power needed especialy on 5v. Many power supply will max out their 5v at 3amp (15W) while other voltages can go way higher.

== Boot ==
===== Q: My ROCK 5B doesn't boot, how to check if it's dead =====
: To troubleshoot if ROCK 5B is defective in the following steps:

* Power off the ROCK 5B, remove eMMC module, SD card, NVMe SSD
* Press and hold the [https://wiki.radxa.com/mw/images/b/bb/Rock-5b-hw.png maskrom button(label 32)]
* Plug the ROCK 5B USB C to PC with USB A to C cable, the Green LED should be solid on
* Check if there is new USB device in the PC Device Manager, if yes, the ROCK 5B is live. If not, try other USB ports, we recommend to connect ROCK 5B to the back panel of the PC.

===== Q: My Rock 5B HDMI doesn't display anything=====
*you can manually add the HDMI resolution and framerate in the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
*just add video=1920x1080@60 to the append line (just change the resolution and framerate to a resolution your monitor supports)

==OS==

__TOC__

ROCK 5B implements the USB C PD as the main power source, The USB Power Delivery (USB PD) enables the maximum functionality of USB by providing more flexible power delivery along with data over a single cable.

=== Know issue ===
The USB Power Delivery negociation, to get the needed power, is done by the OS kernel and may happens too late causing endless restart.
