XC3576H Industrial Control Motherboard | Deeply compatible with Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, unlocking new potential for edge AI and industrial development.
Release time:2026-09-29
In industrial edge computing, robotics, and machine vision project development, the seamless integration of a robust hardware foundation with a mature open-source operating system directly determines the project’s time-to-market and long-term operational maintenance costs. Xiangcheng Electronics XC3576H Industrial Control Motherboard , based on the Rockchip RK3576 octa-core processor, has now been completed. Deeply optimized for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS It provides developers with a high-performance, long‑support‑cycle, feature‑rich ARM‑based industrial open‑source solution, offering end‑to‑end support for use cases such as AI inference, industrial data acquisition, multi‑screen visualization, and robotics development.
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (codenamed “Resolute Raccoon”), a flagship long‑term support release from Canonical, offers up to five years of official security maintenance and extended security updates for up to ten years. It features enhanced memory safety, hardware‑based encryption, and Livepatch for online hot‑patching, along with natively integrated AI/ML open‑source toolchains, making it ideally suited for long‑term deployments on industrial edge devices. Xiangcheng Electronics targets… XC3576H We have completed kernel customization and full‑stack driver integration, seamlessly enabling NPU compute scheduling, multimedia encoding/decoding, serial and Ethernet peripherals, as well as multi‑display support. The device is ready to use right out of the box, significantly reducing the effort required for low‑level driver porting.
The XC3576H motherboard is equipped with RK3576 , an 8nm‑process octa‑core architecture (4×Cortex‑A72 + 4×Cortex‑A53) with a maximum clock speed of 2.2 GHz, features a built-in 6 TOPS NPU and a G52 MC3 GPU running at 1 GHz. Its wide operating temperature range of 0–65°C ensures reliable, continuous performance in industrial applications. Under the Ubuntu 26.04 environment, the board’s NPU can directly interface with AI models such as YOLO, object detection, and image segmentation, enabling parallel multi‑camera capture and on‑device inference without cloud dependency—making it ideal for edge‑AI tasks like inspection robots, industrial visual quality control, and energy meter reading. Additionally, its full‑featured 4K hardware encoding/decoding engine supports dual HDMI IN/OUT for high‑definition output, and with LVDS, MIPI, and EDP display interfaces, it effortlessly enables multi‑screen simultaneous display, video acquisition, and real‑time visualization, meeting the demands of industrial operator consoles, recording and broadcasting systems, and remote monitoring feed back.
All hardware interfaces are natively supported under Ubuntu 26.04, which is a major advantage of the XC3576H in industrial applications. The motherboard is equipped with… Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, 8 USB ports, 6 serial ports (2 TTL, 2 RS-232, 2 RS-485), and onboard GPIO. ， It can directly connect to sensors, inverters, barcode scanners, LiDARs, and 4G/5G modules. With dual‑band Wi‑Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0, it delivers stable, reliable connectivity, while its Mini PCIe expansion slot allows for quick installation of additional communication modules, supporting industrial IoT data acquisition and device‑to‑device networking. Within the Ubuntu ecosystem, toolchains such as Docker, ROS, Python, OpenCV, and TensorFlow Lite can be deployed with a single click, enabling developers to leverage familiar open‑source workflows to rapidly build containerized applications, robot navigation systems, and machine‑vision algorithms, thereby lowering the barrier to cross‑platform development.
From the perspective of industry-specific application scenarios, XC3576H + Ubuntu 26.04 Covering diverse fields through a combination:
Industrial Automation and Edge Gateways: RS485/232 serial ports collect data from field instruments, dual network interfaces ensure isolation between the internal and external networks, and Ubuntu security policies safeguard the security of industrial data transmission.
AI Inspection Robots and AMRs: Rapid development of autonomous navigation in the ROS environment, on-device NPU-based visual inference, and synchronous processing of multiple camera streams, enabling detection of personnel crossing boundaries and identification of equipment defects.
Smart Energy and Photovoltaic Energy Storage: Substation and energy storage cabinet environmental and operational monitoring, with real-time video capture and meter reading, operating continuously 24/7.
Smart Healthcare and Self-Service Terminals: Medical image preprocessing and device data acquisition, with system stability ensured by Ubuntu’s long-term security updates.
Machine Vision Quality Inspection: Production line defect detection, product barcode scanning for traceability, multi-channel USB camera integration, and local processing of 4K images.
Xiangcheng Electronics not only delivers firmware images compatible with Ubuntu 26.04, but also provides the kernel source code, an NPU development SDK, and API reference examples. Its technical team can assist customers in system customization, secondary driver development, and feature tailoring. Balancing the flexibility of open-source development with industrial‑grade stability, the motherboard also offers native support. Android, HarmonyOS, and domestically developed Starlight/Kylin operating systems Multi-system switching: a single hardware platform supports multiple projects and a variety of operating system options, reducing the cost of redundant hardware development and tooling.
The Xiangcheng Electronics XC3576H industrial control motherboard, powered by the RK3576’s robust computing performance and a wealth of industrial‑grade interfaces, combined with Ubuntu 26.04 LTS’s mature, stable open‑source ecosystem and long‑term security support, delivers a reliable solution for industrial AI, robotics, and edge‑gateway applications. Whether it’s rapid prototype validation or large‑scale production deployment, XC3576H + Ubuntu 26.04 They are all optimal combinations that balance performance, cost, and development efficiency.
