Intrinsyc\u2019s Android 8.0 driven Open-Q 670 HDK mobile development kit for the octa-core Snapdragon 670 SoC features a 5.65-inch touchscreen, 6GB LPDDR4, 6GB eMMC, WiFi, BT, GPS, NFC, and optional camera and sensor boards.<\/p>\nIntrinsyc\u2019s Android 8.0 driven Open-Q 670 HDK mobile development kit for the octa-core Snapdragon 670 SoC features a 5.65-inch touchscreen, 6GB LPDDR4, 6GB eMMC, WiFi, BT, GPS, NFC, and optional camera and sensor boards.<\/p>\n
The 170 x 170mm, Mini-ITX form-factor Open-Q 670 HDK is one of Intrynsic\u2019s Android mobile \u201copen frame\u201d kits with a smartphone like touchscreen. Most recently, these include the Open-Q 845<\/a>, which taps the high-end, AI-enhanced Snapdragon 845. The similarly Android 8.0<\/a> powered Open-Q 670 HDK is built around Qualcomm\u2019s somewhat less powerful, but still octa-core Snapdragon 670<\/a>, which was announced in August<\/a>.<\/p>\n Open-Q 670 HDK, front and back<\/b><\/p>\n The Snapdragon 670 fills the space between the Snapdragon 660, which powers the<\/p>\n Open-Q 660 HDK<\/a><\/p>\n , and the newer Snapdragon 710. The Snapdragon 670 offers twice the performance of the 660, according to Intrinsyc.<\/p>\n The SoC has the same configuration as the Snapdragon 710: 2x 2GHz and 6x 1.7GHz Kryo 360 cores that are roughly equivalent to Arm\u2019s high-end Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55<\/a> cores, respectively. The Snapdragon 670 is further equipped with an Adreno 615 GPU, Hexagon 685 DSP, and Spectra 250 ISP for dual 16-megapixel cameras. On the Open-Q 670 HDK, the Snapdragon 670 can drive 4K30 8-bit encode and decode and can also perform simultaneous 4K30 decode and 1080p30 encode.<\/p>\n The Open-Q 670 HDK is loaded with 6GB LPDDR4, 64GB eMMC 5.1, and a microSD slot. On top of the board is a 5.65-inch, 2160 x 1080 touchscreen driven by 4-lane MIPI-DSI. You also get HDMI and USB Type-C based DisplayPort 1.3 ports. Three 4-lane MIPI-CSI connections are bundled on a single connector, and an audio jack and headers are available.<\/p>\n Open-Q 670 HDK<\/b> Wireless features include a Qualcomm 2.4\/5GHz 802.11a\/b\/g\/n\/ac module with 2X2 MIMO, supported by a PCB antenna and MH4L antenna connector. Bluetooth 5.x with BLE is also available. In addition, there\u2019s an NFC header and a Qualcomm SDR660 GNSS receiver with GPS\/GLONASS\/COMPASS\/Galileo support and its own PCB antenna and SMA connector option.<\/p>\n Two optional daughter boards are available. First is a camera board with an IMX318 rear camera, IMX258 front camera, and OV2281 Iris camera. There\u2019s also a sensor board with gas, pressure, Hall, UV, ALSP, magnetometer, accelerometer\/gyro, humidity, and temperature sensors.<\/p>\n Further information<\/b><\/p>\n The Open-Q 670 HDK is available for $1,199.
