Firefly EC-Q3588Q specifications:

Firefly will provide Android 12.0, Ubuntu (Desktop and Server), Debian 11, Buildroot, and RTLinux support for the EC-Q3588Q which can be used as an Arm PC, an AI Edge computer, an IoTgateway, a cloud terminal, an automotive computer, or an industrial automation controller.
