Khadas Edge2

Khadas (Shenzhen Wesion)

A credit-card-sized single-board computer (SBC) built around the Rockchip RK3588S2, an 8nm 8-core 64-bit ARM SoC with a Mali-G610 MP4 GPU and a built-in NPU rated at 6 TOPS. It ships in Basic (8GB + 32GB eMMC) and Pro (16GB + 64GB eMMC) configurations in a compact fanless design. Made by Khadas (Shenzhen Wesion), it runs Ubuntu and Android with mainline Armbian support.

Verified live 2026-06-22 via primary sources. Khadas publishes versioned board schematics and an open toolchain with mainline Armbian, but proprietary Rockchip silicon and required blobs keep it at open_toolchain.
