Hi, I am an embedded systems engineer with over 16 years of experience designing Linux-based electronics, high-speed multilayer PCBs, and products from concept through production, including firmware and board bring-up support. This RK3566 platform is a strong match for my experience with application processors, DDR memory, PCIe, MIPI CSI-2, HDMI, USB, Ethernet, controlled-impedance routing, and RF-aware layout. I would begin by reviewing your preferred LCSC BOM and Rockchip/MediaTek reference material, then finalize the power tree, interfaces, stack-up, and routing constraints before schematic capture and 8-layer layout. Particular attention will go to DDR4 timing, PCIe and video interfaces, the dual MT7613 RF chains and matching provisions, power measurement, grounding, thermal paths, test points, and production-ready sourcing. Deliverables can include design files, fabrication outputs, impedance notes, and an exact BOM with manufacturer and LCSC codes, followed by Linux/firmware and bring-up support. Do you already have the RK3566 and MT7613 reference schematics/layout guidance available under NDA? I would be glad to discuss the detailed BOM, deliverables, and prototype plan.

@mahmoudralizadeh

Hi, I can handle the complete hardware design of this RK3566 development board, including the schematic and PCB layout. I have previous experience designing an RK3568 development board, so I’m familiar with the Rockchip platform and the requirements around DDR, high-speed interfaces, power architecture, and board design. I can design the 8-layer PCB with the required high-speed interfaces, including PCIe, MIPI CSI-2, HDMI, USB, Gigabit Ethernet, DDR4, and the 5 GHz MT7613 RF section, with appropriate impedance control, length matching, grounding, and RF layout considerations. I work in Altium Designer. My responsibility would be strictly the electronics engineering part of the project: schematic and PCB design. I do not handle firmware, Linux configuration, driver development, programming, or other software work. At the end, I will provide the complete editable schematic and PCB files, BOM and manufacturing information, Gerber/fabrication files, and the required controlled-impedance stackup and fabrication notes for the PCB manufacturer.

@ihors29

Hello, I’m very interested in designing this RK3566 + MT7613BEN/B development board. This is a project where the PCB architecture, power integrity, DDR4 routing, PCIe, MIPI CSI, HDMI, USB and 5 GHz RF layout all need to be considered together. I understand that your goal is a compact, production-oriented prototype, rather than simply connecting modules on a breakout board. I would also keep the RF section physically separated from noisy digital and switching-power areas and provide appropriate tuning/matching footprints so the first revision can be characterized and adjusted without requiring a complete PCB redesign. Linux / Bring-Up Considerations The hardware will be designed with Linux bring-up in mind, including accessible debug UART, recovery controls, boot/recovery storage, PCIe connectivity and appropriate power/reset sequencing. The intended validation would cover: RK3566 boot → DDR/eMMC/microSD → PCIe → MT7613 → Linux mt76/mac80211 → Wi-Fi throughput/monitor mode → Ethernet → USB → CSI camera → H.264/H.265 hardware encoding → HDMI hardware decoding/output I understand that the MT7613 is a particularly important part of this project, and I would treat the PCIe, RF power, RF matching, grounding and dual-chain implementation as first-class design requirements rather than an afterthought.

Hello, I’m a Chinese embedded hardware engineer working primarily in Altium Designer, with experience in multilayer embedded boards, high-speed interfaces, power architecture, controlled-impedance routing, and production-ready PCB documentation. This is the type of design where I would stay close to the proven Rockchip reference architecture, then carefully integrate DDR4, PCIe, MIPI CSI, HDMI, USB, GbE and the dual-chain 5 GHz MT7613 RF section rather than treating it as a simple SBC breakout. I can also verify the BOM directly against LCSC availability, which is especially convenient from China, and prepare the design for JLCPCB or another manufacturer. I would pay particular attention to DDR matching, PCIe/RF layout, stack-up, return paths, thermal design, test points, and MT7613 power measurement. I can review your preferred BOM and reference material first, then propose the final architecture, layer stack and development milestones before schematic capture. Full Altium source, BOM, Gerbers and manufacturing documentation will be delivered. Best regards, ShengLin Gu.
