Graperain Launches RV1126B SoM for 3 TOPS Edge AI and Intelligent Vision

Shenzhen, China — September 2026 — Graperain has officially launched the RV1126B System on Module (SoM), a compact AI vision computing platform based on the Rockchip RV1126B processor. Combining a quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU, 3 TOPS RKNN NPU, advanced ISP and multimedia processing, and extensive industrial interfaces, the SoM is designed for embedded vision, intelligent cameras, edge AI, and AI-enabled industrial equipment.

What applications is the RV1126B SoM designed for?

The Graperain RV1126B SoM is designed for embedded products that require local image processing, AI inference, video encoding/decoding, and a wide range of peripheral interfaces.

Typical applications include:

• AI cameras and intelligent surveillance systems

• Machine vision and industrial vision equipment

• Smart access control and biometric devices

• AI-enabled industrial control terminals

• Intelligent retail and vending equipment

• Edge AI vision gateways

• Video analysis and image-processing devices

• Smart IoT devices requiring local AI inference

By integrating CPU, NPU, ISP, video processing, memory interfaces, and industrial connectivity into a single SoM platform, the RV1126B can help reduce carrier-board complexity while providing a reusable hardware platform for OEM and ODM product development.

How does the RV1126B handle edge AI and computer vision workloads?

The RV1126B combines a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU with a dedicated 3 TOPS RKNN NPU for AI inference. This architecture allows AI workloads to be processed locally at the edge rather than relying entirely on cloud computing.

The multimedia subsystem further integrates:

• 12MP ISP at 30 fps

• 8MP AI-ISP at 30 fps

• Video encoder up to 12MP@30fps for H.265/H.264

• Video decoder up to 4K@30fps for H.265/H.264

• JPEG encoder/decoder

• 2D graphics engine and RGA

• VPSS video post-processing subsystem

• FEC/AVSP

This combination makes the RV1126B particularly suitable for vision products that need to combine camera input, image enhancement, AI inference, video compression, and local video processing.

RV1126B Core Specifications

What are the key hardware advantages of the Graperain RV1126B SoM?

• 3 TOPS AI acceleration: The integrated RKNN NPU provides dedicated hardware acceleration for edge AI inference applications.

• Advanced AI vision processing: Supports 12MP@30fps ISP and 8MP@30fps AI-ISP, providing a hardware foundation for intelligent camera and machine-vision products.

• 4K video processing: Hardware video decoding supports up to 4K@30fps H.265/H.264, while video encoding supports up to 12MP@30fps H.265/H.264.

• Rich industrial interfaces: The platform integrates 2× CAN, 8× UART, 2× SPI, 6× I²C, 28× PWM, Gigabit Ethernet, SDIO 3.0, USB 2.0/3.0 DRD, and multiple audio interfaces, providing flexibility for industrial and embedded product designs.

Why choose an RV1126B SoM instead of designing around the SoC directly?

For OEM and ODM developers, a System on Module can shorten hardware development by integrating the processor and core system resources into a reusable computing module. The application-specific carrier board can then focus on interfaces, connectors, power requirements, and product-specific functions.

The Graperain RV1126B SoM is therefore suitable for companies developing multiple products around the same AI vision platform or requiring a customized carrier board for a specific application.

The combination of Cortex-A53 processing, 3 TOPS NPU acceleration, ISP/AI-ISP, video processing, and extensive I/O provides a practical platform for developing AI-enabled embedded products.

Sample Evaluation and OEM/ODM Support

The Graperain RV1126B System on Module is now available for engineering evaluation and sample orders.

OEMs, system integrators, and embedded developers can contact Graperain to request the RV1126B SoM datasheet, hardware documentation, development resources, and sample availability.

For projects requiring a customized carrier board or other hardware adaptations, Graperain can also provide SOM-based hardware customization and embedded system development support according to project requirements.
