What is this device and how does it work

The NanoPi R3S is a Rockchip RK3566 system-on-chip (SoC) with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 processor and Mali-G52 MP2 GPU. It is designed to work as a high-performance router or firewall thanks to its dual Gigabit network controllers.

One Ethernet port uses the native RTL8211F controller, and the second is implemented via a PCIe interface with the RTL8111H chip, providing full Gigabit speeds on both ports. The presence of an NPU (neural processor) with a performance of up to 1 TOPS allows you to perform computer vision tasks, for example, locally process video streams from surveillance cameras.

The board has a compact size of only 57x57 mm and is powered by USB-C with a voltage of 5V/2A. To connect peripherals, there is a USB 3.0 Type-A port, HDMI 2.0 with support for 4K@60Hz, a 30-pin MIPI DSI for the display and a speaker connector. The operating system is installed from a microSD card, which makes changing the distribution easy and convenient. There is no built-in Wi-Fi, but the connection of external USB adapters is supported.

Thanks to two gigabit ports and support for specialized OS, this single-board device is ideal for creating a home router with VPN and QoS, a file server (NAS), a media center or a smart home hub based on Home Assistant. The presence of HDMI 2.0 allows you to use it as a media player with 4K video output.
