Context
章节标题:“Context”Air Hub spec R1.5 (commit e40e748) has three products:
- Air Hub (AH-19, 59 USD): MYZR SSD2351 stamp-hole core board (platform H15, −20…+70 °C, no CAN
controller) + EFR32MG21 + ESP32-C6 (Wi-Fi, configuration, CAN via TWAI under
GW-11). BOM 30.1–37.1 USD against a cap of 19.18–22.13. - Air Hub Pro (AH-20, 119 USD): RK3506J stamp-hole core board (H12, 256 MB + 256 MB NAND, native CAN) + EFR32MG21 + ESP32-C6 (Wi-Fi, configuration) + CMT2300A. BOM 37.6–44.6.
- Air Hub Mini (AH-21, 49 USD): ESP32-C6-WROOM-1 as the only controller.
SSD202D is no longer selected anywhere; it survives as platforms H1 / H2, as the R1.0 alternate named in the AH-19 row, and in the evaluation records. The owner now drops the SigmaStar path and locks the Linux products on RK3506G (128 MB + 256 MB) and RK3506J (256 MB + 256 MB).
Findings:
- RK3506G2 (H6): QFN128, 128 MB DDR3L in package, 3×A7 + M0, 2 native CAN, 2 RMII, chip −20…+80 °C. The spec lists it only chip-down; no core-board platform row exists for it.
- Vanxoak HD-RK3506G-128F256LW: 128 MB + 256 MB NAND, 35×35 mm, 128 stamp holes, 5 V input, −20…+70 °C, pin-compatible with HD-RK3506J-256F256LI (the Pro board). Ebyte ECK41-E1N2-N is a second RK3506G 128 + 256 board (29×25 mm, −25…+85 °C, different footprint). No price is published for either (LCSC and web checked 2026-10-12).
- Because the two Vanxoak boards share a pinout, one baseboard can serve Air Hub and Air Hub Pro; the Pro first board (reference-board page §7.3) already exists.
- With native CAN on RK3506G the ESP32-C6 no longer has to be the CAN controller on Air Hub, so
GW-11would have no product left (the Mini is covered byGW-14). - The SSD2351 schematic project (
/srv/ybo/switch/air_hub/) and its five diagrams become obsolete.
BOM by the reference-board method (USD), RK3506G board unquoted, placeholder 8.5–12.4 (upper bound is the RK3506J placeholder of 88 CNY):
| Item | Air Hub now (SSD2351) | Air Hub on RK3506G |
|---|---|---|
| Baseboard electronics | 16.3 | 15.9 (Pro baseboard 18.2 less the 433 MHz link 2.3) |
| Core board | 6.8 | 8.5–12.4 (placeholder) |
| Electronics | 23.1 | 24.4–28.3 |
| Connector, enclosure, SMT and test | 7.0–14.0 | 7.0–14.0 |
| Total | 30.1–37.1 | 31.4–42.3 |
| Gap to the 59 USD cap | 8.0–17.9 | 9.3–23.1 |
Proposal
章节标题:“Proposal”Spec P05-air-hub.md R1.6:
- §1 / §2.1 / §2.4: Air Hub = RK3506G stamp-hole core board, 128 MB + 256 MB NAND; Air Hub Pro = RK3506J stamp-hole core board, 256 MB + 256 MB NAND; BOM and gap as above.
- §2.2: new platform row H17 RK3506G (stamp-hole core board), native CAN, core board −20…+70 °C; H1 / H2 (SSD202D) and H15 (SSD2351) marked withdrawn 2026-10-12 and kept as evaluation records. §2.3: AH-19 becomes H17 + native CAN + R1.
GW-11marked as applying to no selected product (kept for the record);GW-13,SEC-05, §4–§7 follow (ESP32-C6 on Air Hub is Wi-Fi uplink and configuration channel only).AIR-O-03: SSD2351 items closed as withdrawn; open items become the RK3506G board quote, 128 MB memory headroom for the Rust services with BlueZ / ot-br-posix / Matter, and thermal margin at +70 °C. §9 change-log row.
Design appendix (scheme H: both Linux products on RK3506 core boards, one baseboard), reference-board page (Air Hub pin allocation and BOM follow the Pro board with the 433 MHz link unpopulated; §7.1 SSD2351 schematic marked superseded, diagrams removed from the page), guide, brief, index, platform evaluation §4 / §8, switch line spec and index, product plan, open questions, compliance matrix. Changelog, task and plan status.
Decisions requested (recommended first):
- CAN on Air Hub: native RK3506G CAN; the ESP32-C6 keeps only Wi-Fi and configuration.
Alternative: keep CAN on the C6 (
GW-11stays). - Baseboard: one shared baseboard for Air Hub and Air Hub Pro on the pin-compatible Vanxoak boards, 433 MHz link unpopulated on Air Hub. Alternative: a separate smaller Air Hub board.
- Temperature: accept the RK3506G board at −20…+70 °C for Air Hub (same range as the SSD2351 board it replaces), thermal margin to be measured.
- Prices: unchanged (49 / 59 / 119 USD), gaps recorded.
- Schematics: no schematic or PCB regeneration in this task; the SSD2351 project is marked superseded.
Risks
章节标题:“Risks”- Air Hub BOM rises by about 1.3–5.2 USD and stays over its cap at every point.
- 128 MB for the Rust host services plus BlueZ, ot-br-posix and Matter is unproven.
- The RK3506G board price is a placeholder; the two products differ only by core board and 433 MHz, so the 60 USD retail difference rests on about 2.3 USD plus the core-board difference.
- Single core-board vendor if the shared baseboard is tied to the Vanxoak pinout.
Scope
章节标题:“Scope”About 14 documentation files; no code, no schematic or PCB.
Alternatives
章节标题:“Alternatives”- Keep SSD2351 for Air Hub (lowest quoted core board, no native CAN, separate baseboard).
- RK3506G2 chip-down (H6): LCSC 13.48 USD @100 for the chip alone, more than a core board.
Annotations
章节标题:“Annotations”- 2026-10-12: owner dropped the SigmaStar path and locked RK3506G (128 + 256) and RK3506J (256 + 256) plus the ESP32-C6 product.
- 2026-10-12: owner asked whether a Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combo chip on RK3506G could replace the ESP32-C6; the saving is about 1–1.5 USD and the owner kept the C6 ("保留C6"). Taken as approval with the recommended decisions 1–5.
- 2026-10-12: implemented. The compliance matrix needed no change (radio composition is
unchanged). The five SSD2351 schematic diagrams in
bizplan/product/diagrams/are no longer referenced and were left in place.
