9. Reader Notes

  • The RK182X is an AI co-processor without full SoC units such as CPU/GPU/DDR
  • The RK3588 reference data only illustrates host capabilities, not RK182X capabilities
  • SDK version information has been verified against Release Notes and source code
  • The supported model list has been verified against the Model Zoo directory
  • The PCIe device ID has been verified by actual lspci measurement

Verification date: 2026-08-14 Verification environment: Ubuntu / RK3588 + RK182X AI accelerator card SDK path: /userdata/RK1820_RK1828_AI_SDK/
