The NanoPi R5S (as “R5S”) is an open-sourced mini router with two 2.5G and one Gbps Ethernet ports, designed and developed by FriendlyElec. It is integrated with a Rockchip RK3568B2 CPU, 2GB/4GB LPDDR4x RAM and 8GB/32GB eMMC flash. It supports booting with TF cards and works with operating systems such as FriendlyWRT etc.

The NanoPi R5S has rich hardware resources with a compact size of 90 x 62 mm. FriendlyElec has released a carefully-designed custom CNC housing for it. It has one HDMI port. It works with Android, Ubuntu Desktop and Buildroot etc and works with headless systems as well. It supports decoding 4K60p H.265/H.264 formatted videos.

The NanoPi R5S has one M.2 NVME port, two USB 3.0 ports, and supports USB type-C power delivery. It is an ideal portable drive for saving images and videos.

All in all, the NanoPi R5S is a board featured with multiple Ethernet ports, light NAS and video playing. It is a cannot-miss platform with infinite possibilities for geeks, fans and developers.

Note: Android 12 and Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop will be released for the NanoPi R5S pretty soon.
