Key Interfaces​

3.5mm Headphone Jack​

Integrated ES8388S codec for audio output and MIC input, standard 3.5mm 4-pole TRRS.

Type-C OTG​

USB 3.0 OTG up to 5.0Gbps, used for firmware flashing and ADB debugging, reversible plug. Does not support power input or DP.

HDMI TX (Type-A)​

HDMI video output, standard Type-A connector, up to HDMI 2.1 4K@60Hz, HDCP v2.3 and HDCP v1.4.

USB 3.0 Host (2× stacked Type-A groups)​

Stacked USB 3.0 Type-A ports, Host mode, up to 5V 1A per port.

RJ45 1000M​

  • Standard RJ45, 10/100/1000Mbps
  • PoE PD supported (IEEE 802.3af/at, external PoE PD module required)
  • Use Cat5e or better cable, max 50m
  • Avoid outdoor cable runs — outdoor cabling is prone to lightning strikes

Fan Connector​

1.25mm 4P connector:

PoE Input Header​

PoE PD supported (IEEE 802.3af/at, external PoE PD module required), 2.54mm 2×2 header. For PoE power, add a PoE-to-5V module: input from the PoE header, output to the reserved 5V position.

Buttons​

ButtonFunction
PowerPower on/off and sleep. The board boots automatically when powered
RecoveryEnter Recovery mode to flash EMMC/UFS/SPI Flash
MaskromEnter MaskRom mode for firmware rescue when the board no longer boots

Status LED​

Red while sleeping or powered off, green when running normally.

Reserved GPIO Header​

All GPIO pins are at 3V3 level. The 40-pin header multiplexes:

  • I2C (I2C4/I2C5/I2C6/I2C7/I2C8/I2C9, etc.)
  • SPI (SPI0–SPI4)
  • UART (UART1/3/5/8/9/10/11, etc., plus debug UART)
  • CAN (CAN1/CAN3)
  • PWM (multiple channels of PWM0–PWM2)
  • PCM/SAI/PDM audio interfaces
  • PCIe CLKREQ, SDMMC, FSPI and more
