When I put everything together, the thermal pad on the SSD is in contact with the case (good for cooling) but the USB-PD port and Reset button seem to have moved up a little bit because of it. We can also see the 30-pin header that was added to the NanoPi R6C, but sadly it’s not accessible once the SBC is inside the metal enclosure. A Rockchip RK806-1 PMIC is used for power management. As with previous NanoPi R-series designs, the metal enclosure is used as a large heatsink with a thermal pad on the RK3588S processor to make sure it is in contact with the enclosure for optimical cooling.Ī close-up on the board confirms the rest of the specifications with 8GB RAM through two 4GB Samsung K4UBE3D4AA-MGCL LPDDR4x chips, 2.5GbE via a Realtek RTL8125BG controller, and Gigabit Ethernet via the usual Realtek RTL8211 PHY. But Let’s carry on with the teardown showing the thermal design.
I tried to install the NVMe SSD from my ORICO NVMe SSD enclosure but the cooling plate made the SSD a bit too thick for the bottom cover, so I had to remove it leaving only the thermal pad.Īt this stage, most users will just put the bottom cover back and be done with it. The NanoPi R6C review sample also had a 32GB FORESSE FEMDNN032G-A3A55 eMMC 5.1 flash (see PDF datasheet) with up to 270MB/s read speed and up to 200MB/s “Turbo Write” speed, as well as an STM32G030F6P6 Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller apparently used as an SWD debugger. We’ll need to loosen the four screws on the bottom of the device to take out the bottom cover and reveals the M.2 2280 NVMe SSD socket.
NanoPi R6C (left) vs NanoPi R6S (right) SSD installation and teardown Only the microSD card, Reset button, and MaskROM pinhole are accessible from the sides. The most obvious change compared to the NanoPi R6S is that all main ports of the NanoPi R6C mini PC are moved to the rear panel. NanoPi R6C unboxingĪs usual, the device came in a non-descript cardboard package with a few 3M rubber pads. The company sent me a NanoPi R6C sample for review, but since we’ve already tested the similar NanoPi R6S extensively, I’ll write a single-post mini review this time around, checking out the hardware, and focusing on testing the new features such as the NVMe SSD and the USB debug port when running Ubuntu 22.04. FriendlyElec has recently announced the NanoPi R6C mini PC that a variant of the Rockchip RK3588S powered NanoPi R6S mini PC and 2.5GbE router that we reviewed with FriendlyWrt/OpenWrt and Ubuntu 22.04 earlier this year, but with just one 2.5GbE and one GbE interface, a built-in M.2 NVMe SSD socket and USB-C Debug UART port for easy external access to the serial console.
