Radxa E24C and E54C New Tiny SBCs for Your Network and DIY Work
Radxa brings out two new small single-board computers (SBCs), the E24C and E54C. Both have four fast web ports, making them good picks for DIY web routers, network storage setups, or edge computing uses.
Same Look and What They Do
The E24C and E54C are in metal covers that cool them without fans, but you can add a fan if needed. They let you pick how to store data, with a mini SD card spot, an M.2 2280 slot for a fast SSD, and a slot for an eMMC part if wanted. They focus on joining things well, with each board having:
- Four Fast Web ports
- A video port
- A USB Type-C for power and data
- Three USB Type-A spots
- A 14-pin spot for more parts
Radxa E24C The Cheap Four-Core Type
The Radxa E24C is cheaper, with prices from $35. It runs on a Rockchip RK3528A four-core ARM chip with a Mali G450 GPU. It can use up to 4GB of memory and has USB 2.0 for Type-A and Type-C spots, which works well for less hard network jobs.
Radxa E54C The Strong Six-Core Type
At $55 and up, the Radxa E54C is a step up in power. Its core specs are:
- Chip: A faster Rockchip RK3582 six-core ARM with two A76 and four A55 cores.
- NPU: A built-in 5 TOPS NPU for AI tasks.
- Memory: Can have up to 32GB of RAM.
- USB Ports: Better links with one USB 3.0 Type-C and one USB 3.0 Type-A.
The E54C's chip doesn't have a built-in GPU. It has an HDMI spot, but it can't speed up video or 3D, which is key for some uses.
What They Run and When You Can Buy
Both SBCs work with different GNU/Linux types, like Debian and OpenWrt, showing they're good for your DIY web projects. You can buy the Radxa E24C and E54C now if you want a strong, low-cost base for your next idea.
