Rikomagic has sent me a sample of their DS08 digital signage player for review. It\u2019s based on a Rockchip RK3588 SoC paired with 8GB of RAM and a 128GB eMMC flash, and offers two HDMI 2.1 ports, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, as well as several USB ports, optical S\/PDIF audio output, and more.<\/p>\n

I was initially not sure I could receive a sample, as Thailand is pretty strict with licenses for this type of hardware, but Rikomagic told us that it would not be a problem when using DDP (delivered duty paid), and the courier handles all paperwork. And indeed we did receive the parcel without issue. Since Rockchip RK3588 is now a mature platform, we won\u2019t run benchmarks in this review, but instead go through an unboxing and a teardown, and focus on digital signage features such as video playback, RTC support, and display orientation options.<\/p>\n

Since the DS08 is not a consumer device, it doesn\u2019t need a fancy retail package, and we received the sample in a sturdy white box.<\/p>\n

The package includes the DS08 player itself, two WiFi antennas, a 12V\/2A (24W) power adapter, an \u201c8K\u201d HDMI cable, and a basic IR remote control.<\/p>\n

The front panel features the IR receiver, a power LED, a microSD card slot, a 3.5mm audio jack, a USB 2.0 OTG Type-C port, and two USB 3.0 ports, while the rear panel features two SMA antenna connectors, an optical S\/PDIF audio output, a USB 2.0 port, an 8K-capable HDMI port, a 4K-capable HDMI port, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and a 12V DC jack.<\/p>\n

Strangely, my sample only had two screws on the front panel instead of four.<\/p>\n

We have to loosen the screws on the front and rear panels to remove the SMA antenna connectors from the rear panel and slide the mainboard out of the metal case.<\/p>\n

The mainboard features a Rockchip PMIC, a GL805G USB 2.0 hun control, and a RealTek RTL8211F Gigabit Ethernet transceiver. The Rockchip RK3588, RAM chips, and 128GB flash are all placed under a large…<\/p>\n
