AIBOX PRO KIT is a dual-AI matrix edge computer built for on-device large model deployment. It pairs a modular Rockchip host SoC with one or two independent M.2 AI accelerator modules, so compute power and memory can be scaled by swapping modules instead of redesigning the whole system.
Instead of a fixed-specification AI box, the PRO KIT uses a heterogeneous modular architecture — a main controller plus an independent AI coprocessor — supporting LLM, VLM and AI Agent workloads while remaining compatible with traditional CNN and RNN algorithms. It integrates CAN-FD and RS485 industrial interfaces, making it suitable for both general AI and industrial intelligence deployment.
Key features
- Dual-core architecture — host SoC module plus an independent AI coprocessor module
- 2 × M.2 M-KEY accelerator slots — accepts RK1828, HOUMO LQ50, DeepX DX-M1 and other 2260/2280 M.2 modules
- Runs LLMs up to 7B smoothly with RK1828 (5GB DRAM, 20 TOPS INT8); up to 35B with LQ50 (48GB LPDDR5, 160 TOPS INT8)
- 8K video — 8K@30fps H.265/H.264 encoding and 8K@60fps H.265 decoding with RK3588 host
- Onboard SATA 3.0, PCIe NVMe, TF card storage expansion and dual Gigabit Ethernet
- Industrial I/O — RS485, CAN-FD, opto-isolated DI/DO, 9–36V wide voltage input, −20°C to 60°C operation
- Millisecond-level low latency with rich expansion and full development materials
