Avalue Launches Industrial Raspberry Pi Alternatives – ACP-3566-PI and ACP-IMX8-PI

Avalue, Taiwan, 04.06.2025 - Avalue Technology Inc. (TPEx: 3479.TWO), a global leader in industrial computing solutions, announces the release of two new industrial-grade ARM-based SBCs – ACP-3566-PI and ACP-IMX8-PI – engineered to meet the growing needs of edge computing and IoT integration. With support for both standard and demanding environments, Avalue offers flexible platform choices: the RK3566-based ACP-3566-PI for general-purpose applications, and the i.MX8M Mini-based ACP-IMX8-PI for enhanced reliability in industrial-grade deployments.

ACP-3566-PI: Compact Edge Intelligence with Multimedia Capability

Powered by the Rockchip RK3566 quad-core Cortex-A55 processor up to 1.8GHz, the ACP-3566-PI includes 4GB RAM and 32GB onboard eMMC storage, with microSD expansion support. It features 4K HDMI®, MIPI DSI touchscreen, and MIPI CSI for camera input, and supports Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

Designed for hardware compatibility with Raspberry Pi, the 40-pin GPIO header enables seamless integration with Pi-based modules and supports rich expansion such as UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, and RS-232/RS-485. This makes the ACP-3566-PI ideal for applications such as IoT control panels, smart signage, and compact embedded interfaces.

Key features of ACP-3566-PI

• Rockchip RK3566 with Quad-core Cortex-A55 up to 1.8GHz, 4GB RAM and onboard 32 GB eMMC
• Support HDMI 4K output display, MIPI-DSI and MIPI-CSI video input and output
• Support 40P GPIO and can be configured as rich expansion interfaces such as RS232, GPIO, SPI and I2C. It also built-in Gigabit Ethernet port, supports Wi-Fi
• Small Size 85 mm * 55 mm
• Long life cycle guarantee and sufficient supply

ACP-IMX8-PI: Reliable Industrial Computing with Multicore Efficiency

The ACP-IMX8-PI integrates the NXP i.MX8M Mini processor (quad Cortex-A53 + Cortex-M4) with Yocto Linux 4.0 support. It includes 4GB LPDDR4 and 32GB eMMC storage, along with diverse I/O: HDMI, MIPI DSI/CSI, four USB 2.0 ports, SD card slot, and a 3.5mm audio jack, and GPIO/UART expansion.

Measuring only 85x56 mm, and an industrial operating temperature range of -20~85°C, the board supports industrial-grade operation with long-term availability, making it suitable for factory automation, smart city deployments, and AI edge inference solutions.
