Tronlong's TLT153-MiniEVM runs Linux on a hybrid processor that pairs quad-core ARM with a RISC-V coprocessor, targeting industrial automation where deterministic timing matters as much as raw throughput. The board is built around Allwinner's T153, a 22nm chip combining four Cortex-A7 cores at 1.608 GHz with a 600 MHz Xuantie E907 RISC-V core. Tronlong configures the two processing domains in an asymmetric multiprocessing arrangement. The A7 cluster runs Linux while the E907 handles real-time or bare-metal workloads, with the two sides communicating through RPMsg and mailbox interrupts.

The evaluation board measures 80 × 130 mm (3.1 × 5.1 inches) and hosts a 45 × 45 mm system-on-module available with 512 MB or 1 GB of DDR4 and either 256 MB NAND flash or 8 GB eMMC. Three Gigabit Ethernet ports, two CAN-FD controllers, ten UARTs, and six I2C buses give it an unusually dense I/O roster for a board this size. Display output comes via MIPI-DSI and HDMI (the latter through an onboard DSI-to-HDMI converter) at up to 1080p60, and two MIPI-CSI camera inputs round out the multimedia side. Power draw sits at roughly 1 W for the complete board under no-load conditions, and industrial-temperature variants are rated from -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F).

The software situation is less straightforward. Tronlong ships a vendor BSP based on Linux 5.10.198 with Buildroot 2022.05 and Ubuntu 22.04, plus FreeRTOS and bare-metal toolchains for the E907 core. The T153 does not appear to have mainline kernel support yet, and the product page provides no links to a public documentation package or source repository. The same SoC is starting to appear in more accessible hardware, though. Luckfox's Lume, a compact T153-based SBC with dual GbE, a 40-pin GPIO header, and a $21 (€19) starting price, takes a more hobbyist-friendly approach, albeit with only 128 MB of DDR3 and 256 MB of NAND. Forlinx's OK153-S12 Mini, which arrived in January 2026 with a Raspberry Pi-compatible 40-pin GPIO header and a long-term availability commitment, ships source code and board schematics alongside its BSP, making it the more transparent T153 option for developers who need access to the full software stack. Both boards, like the TLT153-MiniEVM, remain on the vendor Linux 5.10 fork with no mainline path in sight for the T153 at this point.

Tronlong has not published official pricing for the TLT153-MiniEVM, though third-party listings put the 1 GB DDR4 / 8 GB eMMC configuration at roughly $140 (€129).
