HiKey960 Development Board Hardware User Manual
9/20
Component Details
Processor
4 ARM Cortex-A73 MPCore(Big Core 4 2.4G Hz) 4 A53 MPCore(Little Core 1.8G)
ARM Mali G71 MP8 3DGPU
PMIC
There are a master PMIC and two slave PMIC for Kirin960 platform.
Master PMIC is a power management system chip.
One of the slave PMIC is a 4-phase high efficiency buck converter which applied to offer the power of
CPU-B, and the other one is used for GPU&CPU-L.
Memory (DRAM)
The Hikey960 Development Board provides 3GB LPDDR4-SDRAM which is a 4-channel and 64bit
width bus implementation interfacing directly to the Kirin960 build-in LPDDR controller. The maximum
DDR clock is 1866MHz. It is mounted over the Kirin960 using pop technology.
Storage
The Hikey960 Development Board provides an 32GB UFS which is compliant with UFS2.0.
Micro SDHC
The Hikey960 Development Board SD slot signals are routed directly to the Kirin960 SDC interface. It
meets the SD3.0 standard.
Boot ROM
The Hikey960 Development Board boots up from the UFS.
Networking
WiFi
Dual-band (2.4/5GHz) single stream 802.11 a/b/g/n RF.
20- and 40-MHz SISO and 20-MHz 2 × 2 MIMO at 2.4 GHz for High Throughput: 80 Mbps(TCP),
100 Mbps (UDP).
2.4-GHz MRC Support for Extended Range and 5-GHz Diversity Capable.
Display Interface
HDMI
The 96Boards specification calls for an HDMI port to be present on the board. The Kirin960 doesn’t
include a built-in HDMI interface.
