Description Waveshare Luckfox Pico Mini A is a compact Linux micro development board based on the Rockchip RV1103 vision processor SoC. It is designed for embedded AI and vision-related projects that need a small hardware footprint, Linux flexibility, and practical camera and GPIO expansion. This SKU corresponds to Mini A (without FLASH), which uses a TF card (not included) as storage. The board integrates CPU, NPU, and ISP processing and provides interfaces such as USB Type-C, MIPI CSI, and GPIO, making it suitable for edge AI terminals, smart sensing nodes, and compact Linux device development. Features Rockchip RV1103 vision SoC for Linux embedded development. NPU up to 0.5 TOPS (INT8), supports INT4, INT8, and INT16 operations. USB 2.0 Host/Device support for power, programming, and peripheral integration. MIPI CSI 2-lane camera interface for vision and AI camera projects. 17 GPIO pins for control, sensing, and hardware expansion. Mini A storage mode: TF card boot and storage (TF card not included). Compact castellated-hole design for easier embedding into custom hardware. Integrated CPU, NPU, and ISP architecture for AI vision edge applications. Suitable for Linux AI prototypes, smart camera nodes, and compact edge devices. Variant-specific configuration avoids Mini B FLASH assumptions in deployment planning.

Product List Luckfox Pico Mini A x1 Other Content The Luckfox Pico Mini A is a good fit when you need a lightweight Linux AI module and plan to use TF card-based storage. Because this variant is without onboard FLASH, deployment planning should include a compatible TF card and image preparation workflow from the official documentation. For hardware integration, use the onboard USB Type-C for power/programming, CSI for camera modules, and GPIO for peripheral control. The board-level component map and pin definition diagram below help speed up custom carrier design and embedded product integration.
