The Tinker V's RISC-V processor employs an open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) based on Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) principles. Compared to traditional x86 and Arm platforms, the defining advantage of RISC-V is that the ISA is open source. Individual developers and enterprises alike can freely modify, optimize, and deploy systems based on the RISC-V architecture without paying licensing fees or royalties.
The launch of the RISC-V-based Tinker V represents ASUS IoT's ongoing commitment to accelerating IoT technologies, providing convenient and efficient environments for people worldwide.
The new Tinker V SBC is designed to run Debian Linux and Yocto. With its ultra-compact form factor, it delivers impressive power, comprehensive functionality, and extensive connectivity, making it the perfect choice for a wide range of industrial IoT applications.
Specifically, the Tinker V is equipped with a Renesas RZ/Five MPU, incorporating the AndesCore™ AX45MP single-core RISC-V processor, supporting operating frequencies up to 1.0 GHz. It also features a comprehensive array of industrial-grade peripheral connectors, including GPIO, micro-USB, dual Gigabit Ethernet, two CAN bus interfaces, and two RS232 COM ports. Additionally, it boasts 1 GB of onboard RAM and optional 16 GB of eMMC storage, and supports a wide operating temperature range from -20°C to 60°C.
With the purchase of Tinker V, customers receive a guarantee of at least five years of support from ASUS IoT, and dedicated on-site technical support is available to shorten customer development cycles and accelerate deployment.
