The Khadas Edge2 is an ultraslim, credit-card sized ARM PC built around the Rockchip RK3588S2 processor, with Pogo Pads, FPC headers and MIPI interfaces for developers who need direct access to I/O. For fanless industrial deployments that need a compact ARM system, the closest Thinvent match is the Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC, which uses an ARM Cortex A55 processor with 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage.
