Libre Computer Board ROC-RK3328-CC (Renegade) Mini Computer with Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0 (4GB)

Brand Libre Computer Project
Model Name Renegade
Ram Memory Installed Size 4 GB
CPU Model ARMv7
CPU Speed 1.4 GHz

LATEST SOFTWARE SUPPORT: Libre Computer provides the latest Ubuntu 23.04 and 22.04 LTS along with Debian 12/Raspbian 11 support with hardware-accelerated video playback and 3D graphics. Upstream software stack featuring the latest Linux 6.x with open source graphics and video libraries. Boards images features standardized bootloaders with UEFI support and behaves similar to a standard computer.

HIGH PERFORMANCE DESIGN: Quad 64-bit 1.4GHz ARM Cortex-A53 Processors, 4K Ultra HD ARM Mali-450 GPU, 2GB of High Bandwidth DDR4, 4K 60FPS High Dynamic Range Display Engine for H.265 HEVC, H.264 AVC, VP9 Hardware Decoding and 1080P 60FPS H.264 Harware Encoding, Up to 40% faster than Raspberry Pi 3.

UNMATCHED IO PERFORMANCE: Equipped with superfast Gigabit Ethernet and lightning speed 5Gbps USB 3, Renegade will power through mixed workloads unlike any sub $50 SBC can dream of. Turn it into a NAS, Kubernetes cluster, file server, wire speed encrypted router/VPN, and more! The performance and possibilities are endless.

HARDWARE EXTENSIBILITY: 40 Pin header enables hardware re-use by maintaining RPi compatible alternate pin functions like SPI, I2C, PWM, UART, and GPIO. Additional design features include ultra high speed (UHS) Micro SD card support, onboard IR, ADC header, eMMC module expansion connector, and more. Form-factor compatible for easy migration from Raspberry Pi 3 designs. See libretech-wiring-tool for more.

OPEN SOFTWARE STANDARD: Libre Computer platforms run standard ARMv8 (64-bit) code from all major Linux distributions. Pre-compiled open source bootloaders are provided to strap any distribution, Buildroot, or Yocto images for rapid design and deployment. This platform runs standard Linux distribution kernels and an optimized Linux tree is available on GitHub.

RASPBIAN COMPATIBILITY: Software made for Raspberry Pi is not compatible out of the box. Libre Computer provides the libretech-raspbian-portability tool on GitHub to convert existing Raspbian images to standard EFI images so that they can run on Libre Computer boards. Pre-converted Raspbian images are also available. Non-standard software libraries for interfacing with hardware will not work and will need to be updated.

NO ONBOARD WIFI: External USB WiFi/Bluetooth dongles (not included but available in kits) perform faster and with less interference than onboard WiFi/Bluetooth. Libre Computer boards do not feature onboard RF emitters for improved regulatory compliance. Bundles are available with external USB WiFi.

SUPPORT OPEN-SOURCE: Libre Computer is a major sponsor of software contributions to upstream Linux and U-Boot including support for adopted Allwinner, Amlogic, and Rockchip SoCs. For technical support, please use hub.libre.computer.

Data Link Protocol Bluetooth, USB
Data Transfer Rate 433 Megabytes Per Second

WIFI 5 BLUETOOTH 4 USB NANO DONGLE FOR LIBRE COMPUTER AND OTHER SBCs: Small plug and play 2.4GHz/5GHz WiFi for single board computers with up to 150/433Mbps speed. Measuring 33mm x 15mm x 8mm, keep neighboring USB ports unobstructed. Compatible with all Linux versions and Windows.

DESIGNED FOR SINGLE BOARD COMPUTERS: WiFi throughput on single channel 802.11ac peaks below USB 2.0 bandwidth. Low power design stays within the 500mA power budget of USB 2.0 ports. USB 3.0 consumes twice as much power without improving WiFi throughput. Driverless for official Libre Computer operating systems.

PLUG AND PLAY FOR LINUX 6.2+: Supports all current Linux LTS versions and Windows. Plug and play with no installation required for Linux 6.2+ and Libre Computer official images. Just insert into any USB 2.0 or higher port and connect to any 2.4GHz/5GHz wireless network. Compatible with personal computers with USB 2.0 and 3.0 Type A ports. Built on the Linux mac80211 and cfg80211 frameworks, supports in-kernel wireless management.

LATEST WPA3 SECURITY STANDARDS COMPLIANT: Supports the latest WPA3 SAE security standards. Simultaneous Authentication of Equals provides additional protection from password brute forcing and dictionary attacks. WPA2 / WPA are no longer secure and passwords can be defeated in minutes. 802.1X network access control, and SoftMAC for future extensibility.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONALITY: AP mode, monitoring/sniffing mode, and 80MHz channels for up to 433Mbps (54.125MB/s) rates via integrated 1T1R 2dB antenna with 18dB transmit power. Configurable MAC to programmable protocol handling.

PREREQUISITES: 433Mbps (54.125MB/s) PHY rates require AP advertising 80MHz channels. 40MHz channels are limited to 150Mbps (18.75MB/s). Actual transmit efficiency is a function of dongle temperature and signal to noise ratio. Peak performance around 75% of PHY rate in low noise environment at 10M. Linux support requires CONFIG_RTW88.

IMPORTANT POWER REQUIREMENT NOTICE: Please note that if your board turns off randomly or this device does not detect, it is indicative of low power and voltage drop. Please use a power supply and cable capable of delivering enough power and voltage for your board and this dongle. Make sure connectors are fully seated and the cabling has the proper AWG to minimize ohmic loss.
