🚀 Just completed a full pipeline for YOLOv5 on the #RK3568!

From local training on Windows to real-time NPU inference on the dev board.

✅ YOLOv5 Custom Training
✅ .pt ➡️ .onnx ➡️ .rknn conversion
✅ RKNN-Toolkit2 & RKNPU2 optimization
✅ Successful board-level deployment

The RK3568 is a beast for edge AI when the conversion is done right! 🛠️💻

Real-case tech support: A trader’s smart device (MCU + Bluetooth + App + battery) was stuck because their Bluetooth module (AW318A2) wasn’t discoverable. With Chinese New Year approaching, urgency was high. We recommended KT6368A dual-mode Bluetooth, delivered samples quickly, and the demo passed in under 24 hours.

@stman @theruran @50htz @vidak @forthy42 Worst-Case doing #AES256 [aka. Rijndael] in hardware should be totally in the cards as it was *specifically designed with #EmbeddedSystems like Crypto Chipcards in mind.

  • So something like a transparent encryption/decryption unit would be feasible.

Ideally something the size of a Pager or Nokia Communicator long-clamshell or some tiny box would be ideal.

  • Maybe even have it amnesiac with no permanent key storage and a wipe button to flush RAM with 0s and 1s to remove any key material in it.
