Khadas VIM3 Basic SBC

The Khadas VIM3 Basic is a single-board computer built around the Amlogic A311D system-on-chip. It targets makers and developers who need edge AI inference in a compact 12 nm design. The board delivers 5.0 TOPS of INT8 neural-network performance for TensorFlow and Caffe workloads. It suits projects that require dual-display output and rich I/O without a full desktop chassis.

Stackable design with PCIe or USB 3.0

A 40-pin GPIO header exposes USB, I2C, I2S, UART and ADC signals for custom add-ons. The M.2 connector accepts an NVMe 2280 SSD on a single PCIe lane, while a software switch toggles the interface to USB 3.0 instead. Gigabit Ethernet with wake-on-LAN and Wi-Fi 5 with Bluetooth 5.0 handle wired and wireless connectivity. The board ships with two antennas and a user manual but requires a separate USB-C power adapter and cable.

2 GB LPDDR4 and 16 GB eMMC storage

This Basic variant provides 2 GB of memory and 16 GB of onboard storage for the operating system and models. The NPU runs at up to 800 MHz with 512 KB L2 cache and a 1 MB workspace buffer for inference tasks. Video decoding reaches 4K at 60 fps plus 1080p at 60 fps, while encoding tops out at 1080p 60 fps. Builds needing more RAM, larger eMMC or multiple NVMe lanes will outgrow this configuration.

Questions about this item

What is the first limit reached when the Amlogic A311D runs sustained AI workloads at 5.0 TOPS?

The NPU tops out at 800 MHz with 5.0 TOPS INT8 throughput, so sustained inference will hit that compute ceiling before memory bandwidth becomes the bottleneck.

How much heat and power does the 12 nm SoC produce during all-day operation?

The 12 nm process keeps thermal output low; the board runs fanless under typical loads and draws power through USB-C PD, so heat stays manageable for continuous use.

Which power supply and cable must I already own to boot the VIM3 Basic?

A USB-C PD adapter and a matching USB-C cable are required because none are included in the box.
