Powered by the Rockchip RK3588 processor, Firefly Station P3D modular AI mini PC comes with two swappable layers, namely the top one with the main board and default ports such as two HDMI output ports, one HDMI input, Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.1 ports, etc…, and the bottom layer that can be configured with various ports depending on your specific application.

The top layer is basically the new Station P3 mini PC with RK3588 octa-core Cortex-A76/A55 processor, up to 32B RAM, 256GB eMMC flash, an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD socket, and dual-band WiFi 6 & Bluetooth 5.0 plus all the ports mentioned above.

Fire Station P3D specifications:

If the Station P3D Standard configuration does not match your needs, you could loosen two screws to slide out the bottom card and replace it with one of the cards for multiple displays, networking, audio, up to ten USB ports, or a range of RS232 and RS485 connectors. The same can be done on the modular mini PC for the RK3588 mainboard, so replacement or future updates should be feasible too. There's no cabling for this so a special connector with PCIe and USB must be used at the back of the device, but Firefly did not provide details about it.

The Station P3 and P3D can run Android 12.0, Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop/Server, and RT Linux, and the Buildroot build system is also supported. The company also says they can offer customized Linux distributions based on Debian, Kylin, UOS, etc… upon request.
