Mr Fang takes us on a tour of their office and introduces us to the team. They start by showing us a beautiful view of the mountains outside the office window. Mr Fang then takes us to their room, which is large and shows us the view outside. We then see the meeting rooms, including the department for financial management, and the product management department, where they show us a Raspberry Pi form factor running Linux based on the Rockchip RK3588 providing a powerful alternative to the Raspberry Pi. They discuss the Linux support, graphics acceleration, and benchmarking of the product. The host talks about potential customers who might be interested in a Debian Rockchip laptop and mentions that it could be an alternative to the MacBook M1. They also talk about chip shortages and how Amlogic and Rockchip have enough supply. The host then discusses how they work with customers, even those outside of China, through project management teams and sharing code and documents. They even have a hotel near the office where customers can stay for up to weeks if they want to come on location accelerate the technical aspects of the partnership bringing the different engineering teams together. The host has been working in this industry for nine years and has the knowledge and experience to manage projects. They also discuss the growth of the industry in Shenzhen and how other cities in China are following Shenzhen’s example. Finally, we see a demonstration of Ubuntu running on top of Rockchip RK3568.
Sorry for the wobbly image, I somehow disabled by mistake the Dual IS 2 IBIS on my Panasonic G9 with 12-60 Leica lens, so I recorded this video without in-camera stabilization and I had to try to stabilize the footage by it zooming in a little bit into the video using the Davinci Resolve video editor.
