Rikomagic's latest digital signage player, the DS04, puts a Rockchip RK3576 octa-core processor into a fanless aluminum enclosure measuring 14.7 x 14 x 3 cm (5.8 x 5.5 x 1.2 inches). The RK3576 pairs four Cortex-A72 cores at 2.3 GHz with four Cortex-A53 cores at 2.2 GHz, a Mali-G52 MC3 GPU supporting Vulkan 1.1, and a 6 TOPS NPU for on-device inference. The box ships with Android 14, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of eMMC storage, and two HDMI 2.1 ports capable of driving independent 4K displays at 120 Hz.
Connectivity covers Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, one USB 3.0 Type-A port, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, a USB 3.0 Type-C OTG port, and an optional 4G LTE modem via SIM slot. The DS04 is a trimmed-down sibling of the RK3588-based DS08, swapping 8K output for 4K and halving the RAM and storage, but retaining the same I/O layout and enterprise signage features: a real-time clock for scheduled power on/off, a hardware watchdog timer, and configurable display rotation in 90-degree increments. The aluminum chassis is passively cooled and rated for continuous operation from 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F).
The RK3576 is also becoming a more compelling platform for Linux users. Collabora's upstream work brought H.264 and HEVC hardware video decoder support into mainline Linux with kernel 7.0, and basic SoC support for clocks, power management, storage, networking, and GPU has been present since kernel 6.12. LibreELEC 13 carries active community testing builds for RK3576 boards. While the DS04 ships with Android, devices built on the RK3576 are increasingly viable candidates for mainline Linux deployments.
Rikomagic has not announced official pricing, but based on the DS08 at $300 (€276) and the earlier DS03 at $184 (€169) for a comparable 4GB/32GB configuration, the DS04 will likely land around $200 (€184). Additional details are available on the product page.
