🔴 Board of Sins

A single-board computer designed to outperform the Raspberry Pi 5 at a comparable price. Everything the Pi does. And more.

What it is
🛠

Rockchip RK3588

8-core big.LITTLE CPU (4x A76 + 4x A55), Mali-G610 GPU, 8nm TSMC process. Built-in 6 TOPS NPU on every model. M.2 slot available for AI accelerator expansion — early adopters receive a free Hailo-8 card shipped to them when the supply deal closes.

🧠

Up to 32GB RAM

LPDDR4/LPDDR4X on a 64-bit dual-channel bus. Four tiers from 4GB to 32GB. The Pi 5 tops out at 16GB.

💰

Transparent pricing

Cost-plus 1.5x markup. No hidden margins. Starting at ~£100 for the 4GB model, scaling down in price as volume grows.

🔌

Full HAT compatibility

Standard 40-pin GPIO header with Raspberry Pi-compatible pinout and voltage levels. Your existing HATs will work.

⚡

PCIe 3.0 x4

Onboard M.2 M-Key slot with PCIe 3.0 x4, dedicated to NVMe SSD storage. AI acceleration runs on a separate dedicated PCIe lane — no storage vs AI trade-off.

🔞

Graceful shutdown

Onboard supercapacitor backup maintains power long enough to safely close files and shut down on sudden power loss.
