Overview

RK3036 is a low power, high performance processor solution for OTT TV BOX, and other
digital multimedia applications, and integrates dual-core Cortex-A7, with separate NEON
coprocessor and 128KB L2 Cache.
Many embedded powerful hardware engines provide optimized performance for high-end
application. RK3036 supports almost full-format 1080P H.264 decoder and H.265 decoder,
high-quality JPEG decoder and special image preprocessor and postprocessor.
Embedded 3D GPU makes RK3036 completely compatible with OpenGL ES1.1 and 2.0,
OpenVG1.1 etc.
RK3036 has high-performance external memory interface (DDR3/DDR3L) capable of
sustaining demanding memory bandwidths, also provides a complete set of peripheral
interface to support very flexible applications.
