Amlogic S905X5M is a Quad Core ARM Cortex A55 processor, supports Android 14 system, 6nm high-precision chip, and has AI-SR function. It is a popular motherboard choice for the new generation of TV Box

 1. Core Architecture & Processing  

- CPU: Quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 @ up to 2.5 GHz, delivering ~30K DMIPS performance (25% faster than predecessors).  

- Process Node: 6nm FinFET for improved power efficiency (50% lower power consumption vs. previous gen).  

- NPU: Integrated AI-SR2 engine for real-time video upscaling (SD/1080p → near-4K clarity).  

 

 2. Graphics & Video Processing  

- GPU: ARM Mali-G310 V2 supporting OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.2, and OpenCL 2.0 (130% faster than prior GPUs).  

- Video Decoding:  

  - 4K@60fps decoding for AV1, VP9, H.265/HEVC, H.264.  

  - AI Super Resolution (AI-SR2): Enhances low-res content to near-4K quality in real-time.  

- HDR Support: Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HLG, and HDR Vivid.  

- Advanced HDMI 2.1b Features:  

  - QMS (Quick Media Switching): Eliminates blank screens during resolution/framerate changes.  

  - VRR (Variable Refresh Rate): Reduces stutter in games/interactive apps.  

  - QFT (Quick Frame Transport): Lowers latency for gaming. 

 3. Memory & Storage Interfaces  

- RAM: Supports 2GB/4GB LPDDR4X (configurable for cost-sensitive or performance-focused designs).  

- Storage:  

  - eMMC 5.1 (16GB–128GB options).  

  - Expandable via microSD/TF card slot (up to 256GB).  

 

  4. Connectivity & I/O for Development Boards  

- Wireless:  

  - Wi-Fi 6/6E (802.11ax, dual-band 2.4/5.8 GHz) for stable 4K streaming.  

  - Bluetooth 5.x (BLE support for peripherals: remotes, speakers, gamepads).  

- Wired Interfaces:  

  - HDMI 2.1b with eARC (4K@60Hz output, Dolby Atmos passthrough).  

  - USB 2.0 ×2 + USB Type-C (data/power delivery).  

  - Gigabit Ethernet (optional in TV box designs; absent in stick form factors).  

- Expansion Headers:  

  - 40-pin GPIO (Raspberry Pi-compatible layout) for sensors/peripherals.  

  - UART/I²C/SPI debug pins.

 

 5. Development Board-Specific Features  

- Form Factors:  

  - TV Box: Standard HDMI/AV/USB ports, Ethernet support.  

  - TV Stick: Compact USB-C design (plugs directly into HDMI ports).  

- Power & Thermal:  

  - 5V/2A DC input (recommended 5V/3A for stability under load).  

  - Passive cooling sufficient for most workloads (6nm efficiency).  

- Debugging Tools:  

  - JTAG/UART interfaces for low-level firmware development.  

  - Preloaded Android 14 BSP with open-source kernel customization.  6. Target Applications & Customization  

- Industrial Use: Digital signage (multi-format subtitle support), kiosks.  

- Edge AI: NPU-enabled upscaling for legacy media or surveillance feeds.  

- OEM Flexibility:  

  - Hardware: Custom casings (matte/glossy finishes), logo engraving, LED accents.  

  - Software: Branded Android UI, preloaded apps, OTA updates.  

- Media-Centric Features:  

  - Dolby Atmos/DTS:X audio passthrough.  

  - Broad codec support (AV1/VP9/H.265 for streaming platforms).
