# Rockchip RV1126B-based Forlinx FCU3101 fanless edge AI system targets IIoT and smart security applications

**[CNX Software](https://daily.dev/sources/cnx-software)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Forlinx has launched the FCU3101, a fanless edge AI computing box built around the Rockchip RV1126B or industrial-grade RV1126BJ SoC, aimed at IIoT and smart security use cases like video surveillance, license plate recognition, intrusion detection, and material counting. It offers up to 4GB DDR4, up to 64GB eMMC, dual Ethernet, Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.2, optional 4G LTE, RS485/RS232, digital I/O, relay outputs, and a wide 9-36V DC input with industrial temperature tolerance from -40°C to +85°C. The quad-core Cortex-A53 SoC includes an NPU delivering up to 3 TOPS INT8, supporting TensorFlow, ONNX, PyTorch, and Caffe models. It runs Linux with ready-to-use AI vision algorithms, though the exact kernel version isn't specified (a related Forlinx SoM shipped Linux 6.1.141). No pricing is disclosed; interested buyers must contact Forlinx directly, with a 5-day sample lead time and 6-week bulk lead time, and CE/FCC/RoHS certifications expected by Q4 2026.
