DESCRIPTION

The F20 is a 16/32-bit RISC microprocessor, which is designed to provide a cost-effective, low-power capabilities, high performance processor for video application and general application. The F20 is developed with ARM926-EJS core (400MHz/533MHz, up to 1GB SDRAM), which as expected F20 shows a lot of similarities of A10 but only accelerated 2D graphics, accelerated HD codecs engine (No 3D graphics engine).

I/O capabilities very similar to A10, but with slight differences. - No built-in HDMI. External transmitter needed for LCD->HDMI. - Apparently have a built-in smartcard interface

You can find Allwinner F20 with other codenames :

  • Allwinner F20
  • Boxchip F20
  • Chiprise F20
  • Xinwu F20
