It will eventually, the support upstream isn't complete yet for the
rk3588, hardware with that SoC is only just starting to ship. I am
getting a Rock5 board which is based on the same SoC which I ordered
back in May and I got a shipping notification yesterday.
Hello Peter,
thanks for that info, Please keep the list up2date with that board.
Greetings
