Olimex Announces RT5350F-OLinuXino and Evaluation Boards Availability

Olimex had been working on a small board with Ralink RT5350F processor for over a year, with delays mostly due to software development and undocumented registers. But RT5350F-OlinuXino is now available together with an evaluation board with tow relays, two Ethernet ports, and expansions headers, as well as a DIN EBV still in development.

RT5350F-OLinuXinoRT5350F-OlinuXino specifications:

  • SoC – Ralink / Mediatek RT5350F MIPS24KEc CPU @ 360 MHz
  • System Memory – 32MB SDRAM
  • Storage – 8MB SPI NAND Flash
  • 3x headers with access to
    • USB 2.0 HOST/Device
    • 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port
    • GPIOs, SPI, I2C
    • I2S, PCM
    • UART
    • JTAG
  • Power – 3x external DCDC power converters releasing internal RT5350F vreg and preventing common problem with overheating with this chip.
  • Dimensions – N/A
  • Operating Temperature Range – -10 to +55C

The board is pre-loaded OpenWRT with Linux 3.18.11. You can find builds instructions and other documentation in the Wiki, as well as github.

RT5350F-OlinuXino_EVB
Baseboard for RT5350F-OlinuXino module

The company jointly launch the module with RT5350F-OlinuXino-EVB evaluation board with the following technical specifications:

  • Module – RT5350F-OlinuXino with RT5350F processor, 32MB RAM and 8MB flash
  • Connectivity
    • WIFI 801.11n 150Mb
    • 2x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports (RJ45)
  • 2x Relays 15A/240VAC
  • USB – 1x USB 2.0 host port
  • Expansion headers:
    • UEXT connector (I2C, SPI, RS232) for Olimex modules
    • EXT header with 3 remaining Ethernet signals, GPIOs, I2S/PCM, JTAG…
  • Misc – Button
  • Power Supply – 5V DC via power barrel
  • Dimensions – N/A
  • Temperature Range – -10 to +55C

Documentation is available on the same Wiki and Github account as for the module.

RT5350F_DIN_EnclosureOlimex is working is also working an an other EVB with a single Ethernet port, and an LED display that can fit into a DIN enclosure which should be useful for home automation.

It will cost about 35 Euros once it is available in June or a little later. RT5350F-OlinuXino can be purchased now for 15 Euros in single quantities, while RT5350F-OLinuXino-EVB goes for 24 Euros including the module, and you can purchase both directly on Olimex website.

Cool! For some applications it is a very interesting board.
Also, there is support for the RT5350 since kernel 3.4.

Does the ethernet use a switch chip (or equivalent in the SoC) or are they available as individual interfaces?

The RT5350 has an internal switch. With OpenWRT you can define port based vlans.
