  • Peripheral bus config Enable/disable SPI, I2C, Serial Port, I2S and other interfaces on the 40pin interface. This configuration method will directly modify the corresponding bus in the device tree file used status and will take effect after restart. [RDK X5] X5 adds a PWM interface; In the following table, each row of interfaces uses the same pins and can only take effect on one function at a time. When all interfaces in a row are dsiable, the pins are GPIO function pins.

  • CPU frequency You can use this tool to overclock the RDK's CPU. It is generally not recommended to enable it. If you have done enough heat dissipation, you can try to modify this option. image-20231123104553727
  • ION memory This option allows you to configure the typical size of ION memory.

ION memory is physical memory reserved for the BPU and image and video multimedia functions. The default configuration size is 672MB. If you need to run larger algorithm models or encode and decode multiple channels of video simultaneously, adjust the memory size according to your specific needs.

Localisation Options​

Localization options provide you with the following options for you to choose: local language, time zone, keyboard layout.
