1.2 LCKFB Lushan Pi

Several K230 manufacturers including LCKFB have each designed their own development boards. I purchased the LCKFB Lushan Pi developed and produced by Lichuang (JLC). See the figure below for details:

Clearly, LCKFB Lushan Pi provides 3 MIPI interfaces, and I have 3 GC20X3 MIPI cameras set up for it.
