What it means for your product
The RK3288 handles 4K decode and dual display, which covers straightforward signage and single-purpose display applications. It has no dedicated NPU, so it is not intended for on-device AI.
Choose the RK3288 (KTM-S38) for cost-sensitive, fixed-function signage where the newer chips' AI and multi-display capabilities are not needed. For anything AI-oriented or requiring more than two screens, move to an NPU-equipped chip.
Software
Runs the same firmware and API as every KTM board.
