  • PoE Ready: Onboard PoE module header for single-cable power and data
  • Enhanced Audio: ES8311 codec + NS4150B amplifier + MEMS microphone + 3.5mm headphone jack + speaker connector
  • USB Flexibility: USB 2.0 OTG HS port switchable between HOST and DEVICE mode via jumper
  • RTC Battery: Onboard rechargeable RTC battery holder for timekeeping
  • Memory: 32MB PSRAM + 16MB NOR flash + 768KB on-chip SRAM
  • Display and Camera: 2-lane MIPI-DSI (5/7/8/10.1-inch screens) and 2-lane MIPI-CSI with ISP
  • Video Processing: H.264 encoder (1080p at 30fps), JPEG codec, PPA accelerator
  • Storage: SDIO 3.0 microSD slot
  • Expansion: 2x20 pin header with 28 programmable GPIOs
