Tronlong

What Tronlong does

Tronlong (创龙科技 / Guangzhou Chuanglong Electronics Technology Co., Ltd.) is a privately-held Chinese embedded industrial board provider founded in 2013 and headquartered in Guangzhou Science City. The company designs and sells System-on-Modules (industrial core boards / 工业核心板), evaluation boards, industrial single-board computers, ARM-based industrial PCs, and supporting accessories (emulators, programmers, audio/video and AD/DA modules). Its distinguishing technical capability is heterogeneous multi-core integration, combining ARM (Rockchip RK3588/RK3576/RK3568/RK3562/RV1126B/RK3506; Allwinner T536/T153/T113-i/T3/A40i; NXP i.MX 8M Plus/8M Mini/6ULL; TI Sitara/OMAP/DSP) with domestic FPGA (Anlogic DR1M90, Fudan Micro FMQL20SM, Pangu Logos/Logos-2/Titan-2), RISC-V, DSP, and NPU accelerators via proprietary high-speed parallel Local Bus interfaces, with industrial-grade temperature support (-40°C to 85°C) and CE/FCC/RoHS pre-certification.

The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market combining direct regional field sales across 10+ Chinese service centers, a Tmall e-commerce storefront for SMB/long-tail buyers, authorized agent/distributor partnerships for overseas reach, and participation in industry events such as China International Industrial Expo. Revenue is generated from hardware unit sales (core board batch pricing from CNY 79 for T113-i industrial HMI boards to CNY 428+ for RK3576 industrial cores, with industrial SBCs and ARM industrial PCs at materially higher ASPs) and bespoke custom project development services (schematic, PCB layout, firmware, case design with 30-day prototyping minimums). Customers span industrial automation, energy and power, instrumentation, medical equipment, communication infrastructure, and security/surveillance verticals.

Tronlong reports 1M+ cumulative units shipped, 30,000+ customers served (as of January 2026), 200+ employees with 60%+ technical staff, official partnerships with seven semiconductor vendors including TI, Xilinx/AMD, NXP, Rockchip, Allwinner, Pangu, Fudan Micro, and Loongson, and holds China's National-level Specialized and Innovative 'Little Giant' (国家级专精特新'小巨人') designation awarded in 2023. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
