Luckfox Lume – Compact Allwinner T153 SBC with Dual GbE, PoE, GPIO Header, and MIPI Interfaces for Industrial HMI Applications

2 Min Read

Luckfox Lume is a compact industrial single-board computer featuring an Allwinner T153 quad-core Cortex-A7 SoC with a low-power RISC-V core, complemented by 128MB DDR3, 256MB SPI NAND flash, and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. It includes a microSD card slot, a USB 2.0 Type-A port, a USB Type-C port, MIPI DSI and CSI connectors, and a 40-pin GPIO header, making it suitable for various HMI applications. The board is normally powered via USB-C, but a PoE model is available.

Key specifications:

– SoC: Allwinner T153 M3-QCX
– CPU: 4x Arm Cortex-A7 up to 1.6GHz, 1x XuanTie E907 RISC-V core up to 600MHz
– GPU: 2D only, no VPU/NPU
– Memory: 128MB DDR3

– Storage: 256MB SPI NAND flash, microSD card slot
– Display: 4-lane MIPI DSI
– Camera: 2-lane MIPI CSI
– Networking: 2x Gigabit Ethernet via Maxio MAE0621A-Q3C, one with PoE support option
– USB: USB 2.0 Type-C and Type-A ports
– Expansion: 40-pin GPIO header (up to 6x UART, 2x I2C, 1x SPI, 4x ADC, 5V, 3.3V, GND)
– Misc: Reset/FEL buttons, dual-color status LED, 2-pin RTC battery header
– Power: 5V via USB-C, optional PoE
– Size: 68 x 55 mm

The board’s footprint beneath is not documented. A pinout diagram is also available. Documentation is present for building a Linux image using buildroot, but the wiki is solely in Chinese and uses Windows tools like the Phoenix Suite from Allwinner.

The PoE is handled via a Waveshare PoE Module (B), though specific details are sparse. It should support a touchscreen display and camera module. Initial confusion over the 128MB DDR3 RAM was clarified as it is on-chip within the Allwinner T153 M3-QSX SoC, while the Forlinx FET153-S uses external memory.

The Luckfox Lume is available on AliExpress for $24.99/$29.99 depending on PoE support, with an odd pricing situation making the PoE model cheaper. This may be corrected by the company. It is also available on the Waveshare shop for $20.99/$25.99.
