The Allwinner T113 is a dual-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor designed for industrial control and consumer-grade embedded devices. With its cost-effectiveness and multimedia processing capabilities, it has become popular in smart terminal applications. Built on a 28nm process, the T113 features a dual-core design running up to 1.2GHz, integrates dual Ethernet ports, and provides rich video interfaces, making it well-suited for mid- to low-end applications that require network connectivity and multimedia processing.
BLIIoT’s ARMxy series embedded gateways BL335 and BL330 are powered by the Allwinner T113-i processor and are widely used in industrial control and intelligent gateway scenarios.

| Feature | T113 | i.MX6ULL |
|---|---|---|
| CPU Performance | Dual-core A7 @1.2GHz | Single-core A7 @900MHz |
| Graphics | Mali-400 MP2 | No GPU, 2D only |
| Networking | Dual 100M Ethernet | Single 100M Ethernet |
| Video | 1080p encode/decode | Decode only |
Choose T113 when:
✓ Dual-core performance and basic graphics acceleration are required
✓ The project is cost-sensitive
✓ Video encoding/decoding is needed
Choose i.MX6ULL when:
✓ Higher industrial reliability is a must
✓ Long-term product supply is required
✓ Richer peripheral interface support is needed
Note: The T113 BSP support is relatively closed, making it more suitable for teams experienced with Allwinner platforms. For projects requiring Android, the T113-i version with up to 2GB LPDDR3 memory is recommended.
