1 Summary
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to introduce the function of the RK3188 SDK ,
help use to better, faster and accurate apply RK3188 SDK, master RK3188
chip solution.
1.2 Scope of application
This SDK is fully functional and can be used for both inside and outside the
company's engineers. Hardware and software engineers can be used to
functionally debug; testers can be used for performance under a variety of
environmental testing, and driver software stability testing; customer engineers
can be used as the Demo, used for debugging and functional verification.
1.3 Outline
RK3188 is a low power, high performance processor for mobile phones, personal mobile internet
device and other digital multimedia applications, and integrates quad-core Cortex-A9 with
separately NEONand FPU coprocessor.
Many embedded powerful hardware engines provide optimized performance for high-end
application. RK3188 supports almost full-format video decoder by 1080p@60fps, also support
H.264/MVC/VP8 encoder by 1080p@30fps,high-quality J PEG encoder/decoder, special image
preprocessor and postprocessor.
Embedded 3D GPU makes RK3188 completely compatible with OpenGL ES2.0 and 1.1,
OpenVG 1.1. Special 2D hardware engine with MMU will maximize display performance and
provide very smoothly operation.
The SDK to help engineers complete the RK3188 chip solution debugging and testing, taking into
account the different environments, and full functional verification, complete a variety of
interfaces, and relatively complex.
Power support adapter 12V \ 2A

2 System Diagram
System block diagram allows an intuitive understanding of the structure and principle of the
whole system. System power is provided by the 12V \ 2A adapter , through the serial port
UART interface to debug and verify the functional modules,SDK verification for the full
featured solution ,with a HDMI output, YPbPr \ CVBS output, SPDIF output, the ISDB \
DVB-T module, WIFI +BT module, Ethernet interface and HUB, SD card, infrared receiver
IR, usb to SATA hard disk, But also through the extended interface to extend VGA output,
MHL output and BT voice function,and so on . To meet different application requirements,
and very conducive to chip solution in-depth R & D and rapid commercialization .

3.5 SATA inerface
USB to SATA chip J M20329E, SATA interface can be connected to the 3.5-inch
hard disk power supply 12V and 5V, or 2.5-inch hard disk power supply 5V,
supports up to 3T capacity. Toggle switch default USB HOST3, if you use SATA
function, you need to position SATA position.


Picture 3-6
3.6 WIFI+BT+FM module
The SDK use a dual layout mode,can selecte SDIO WIFI module
AP6330(wifi+bt+fm) or USB WIFI module 8188EUS. Toggle switch default RMII
interface, if appropriated SDIO WIFI, Ethernet will not be used.

3.8 Camera
Ov9650 module, 8bit sampling rate,5 million pixel camera with flash,1.8V,3.3V
power supply. Toggle switch default is CIF (camera) function, TS stream can not
be used. if appropriated TS position ,that TS stream can be used normally, but
CIF function can not be used.
