Based on the Chinese RK3588S Hardware Design Guide V1.2 (2023-12-14) for circuit and PCB review. CM7S carriers must follow module interface definitions; Sige7S supports software and peripheral evaluation. SoC capabilities are not a board connector list. Verify SDK/BSP, kernel, board revision, firmware and multiplexing. Values are source references, not ArmSoM hardware measurements.

Check domains before connecting peripherals
PMUIO1, EMMCIO and VCCIO1 are fixed 1.8V; PMUIO2, VCCIO2 and VCCIO4/5/6 select 1.8V or 3.3V. Fixed 1.8V companion pins and selectable pins must not mix S0/S3 retention. Automatic recognition of some domains does not permit 5V signals.
Not all ADC channels are free
SARADC is 12-bit, 1MS/s, 0–1.8V with eight inputs; IN0_BOOT is dedicated and IN1 retains recovery with 10kΩ pull-up. Add 1nF near used inputs and ESD before the button series resistor. The source’s ±35 key-code/123mV relationship is unclear alongside 12-bit resolution; determine thresholds from actual driver scaling and measured voltages, not an assumed conversion.

ArmSoM development path
CM7S supports custom carriers: first identify supplies, DDR and boot circuits already integrated in the module, then design outside its connectors. Sige7S provides a starting point for software and peripheral evaluation. For both products, verify exposed interfaces, pin assignments, levels, system images and cooling against the relevant revision. A chip reference schematic is not a product wiring diagram.
