Raxda Rock Development Board Unboxing, Quick Start Guide, and Benchmarks

Radxa Rock is an Android & Linux development board based on Rockchip RK3188 with 2GB RAM, 8GB NAND Flash, several I/Os that’s been available in beta version to a small number of developers in September 2013, with general availability starting at the very end of December 2013. Radxa team has sent me a board for me to try out. I’ll start with some unboxing pictures, write a Quick Start Guide for the first boot with Android 4.2.2, and run some benchmarks on the board. In another post, I’ll try some of the instructions to build Android and Ubuntu for the platform.

Radxa Rock Unboxing Pictures & Video

I’ve received the board in the following package via Fedex.

Radxa_Rock_PackageBeside the board, we’ve got a Wi-Fi antenna, a USB power cable, and a plastic casing.

Checkout Radxa Rock unboxing video below, if you want to find out exactly what’s you get when you receive the board.

Let’s have a closer look at the board.

The top of the board gets most of the interesting bits. From the bottom right, clockwise: power button, microphone, micro USB OTG port, IR receiver, UART header for serial console, micro SD card, 2x USB 2.0 ports, recovery button, 40 pin “GPIO” header, battery slot, Wi-Fi antenna connector, 10/100M Ethernet port, HDMI output, S/PDIF optical output, AV out, power jack, another 40-pin header, and the reset switch.

On the back of the board, we’ve got the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module (Realtek RTL8723AS), two more RAM chips, as well as the name of all 80 header pins on the silkscreen of the board, which can be convenient.

Radxa Rock Case Assembly

Radxa Rock comes with a plastic case that you have to assemble. It does not look the best, but it’s functional, and both easy to assemble and disassemble. Start by inserting two sides (length) into the base, place the board in the case, add the cover, and finish the assembly by adding the two other sides (width). You’ll also want to add the Wi-Fi antenna, if you plan to use Wi-Fi. At no point you need to force during assembly or disassembly, so it’s unlikely you’ll break the enclosure.

The box has been designed so that you can access all ports, including the two 40-pin expansion headers, and the UART header. The two USB ports are a little deep inside though, so I’m not sure if it will work with all USB peripherals, and you’ll have to insert the microSD card before assembly, or using a small tool, e.g. toothpick, to push the card.

[Update: To see how the casing is assembled as well unboxing and first boot, you can also watch that video]

Quick Start Guide for Radxa Rock

I’ve connected an HDMI cable to a TV, an Ethernet cable to a hub, a serial debug board for console access, a USB RF dongle for Mele F10 air mouse, and I used Tronsmart T428 (5V/2A) power adapter for power.

Radxa_Board_ConnectionThe power starts immediately, i.e. there’s no need to press the power button, which is only used to turn off the board, and during boot you’ll see 4 Linux penguins (Tux), an animated “radxa” logo, and after just over 30 seconds you’ll get to the Android Home screen. I’ve tried to take a few screenshots by installing trial versions of apps such as Screenshot IT and Screenshot UX, but the board would just lose display output while taking screenshots, and I’d just see “No signal” message from my TV, requiring a press of the reset button.

I could see the kernel messages from the serial console, but for some reasons I was not able to input anything in minicom. This is probably not an issue with Radxa board, as I’ve add this issue randomly with other devices too.

Here’s the boot log for reference:

Since I needed to access the command line to try to capture the screen, and I could not type into the serial console I used adb instead. In Linux (Ubuntu 13.10) you need to edit two files, and add one line to each:

  • ~/.android/adb_usb.ini – add 0x2207 at the end
  • /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules – add the following line:

Then you can run adb devices to make sure adb finds the board:


If the adb daemon was already running before you changed the files, you should run adb kill-server first.

Radxa Rock Benchmark

I’ll just run two benchmark: Antutu and Quadrant, to see how fast the current firmware runs on the board.

Radxa_Rock_AntutuThe board gets nearly 18,000 in Antutu 4 which is consistent with other RK3188 devices.

The score in Quadrant (5464) is also fine for a RK3188 based board.

You can find more information about Radxa Rock, and its little brother Radxa Rock Lite, on radxa.com, and if interested, purchase the board for $99 + shipping via Miniand, Seeedstudio or Aliexpress.
