The Indiedroid Nova is the same form factor as Raspberry Pi 4B, but 3+ times faster and supports 16GB RAM, plus 8K video!

The uber-efficient RK3588S SoC uses less energy, generates less heat, and processes more data than less-advanced SoC units used in most other SBCs.

ameriDroid.com has been tapped to become the worldwide distributor of a new SBC based on the powerful and efficient Rockchip RK3588S SoC, under the Indiedroid brand.

Indiedroid's goal is to create an active and welcoming community that rewards community members who add value to the ecosystem. Our vision is for these awards to be given as bounties, achievement awards, and in other forms, based on open voting of the community. A portion of every sale will go towards these awards.

NOTES

• eMMCs pre-flashed for another board should work if re-flashed with an Indiedroid Nova compatible image.
  
• Units purchased with an included eMMC will come preloaded with a compatible operating system image so it will work out of the box.
• We've been informed by some users that their Raspberry Pi USB-C power adapters don't work for the Nova. But others do. Your mileage may vary.
