M5Stack Tab5 IoT Development Kit – ESP32-P4 Smart IoT Terminal

🚀 M5Stack Tab5 is a highly extensible, portable smart IoT terminal 🏗️💡 designed for developers 👩💻👨💻. It integrates a dual‑chip architecture 🔀 and abundant hardware resources ⚙️📦.

🧠 Its main controller adopts the RISC‑V–based ESP32‑P4 SoC 🔧, equipped with 16 MB Flash 💾 and 32 MB PSRAM 🗂️.

📡 The wireless module uses the ESP32‑C6‑MINI‑1U , supporting Wi‑Fi 6 ⚡🌐 for faster connectivity.

📶 Its antenna system can freely switch 🔄 between the built‑in 3D antenna 📡 and the external MMCX antenna interface 🔌, flexibly adapting to different deployment environments 🌍 to ensure high data throughput 📊 and low‑latency control ⚡🎯.

👀 Vision & Interaction

• Tab5 features a 5″ 1280×720 IPS TFT display 📺 via MIPI‑DSI, with touch handled by the GT911 multi‑point controller ✋🖱️ (I²C) for smooth, responsive interaction.

• Includes an SC2356 2 MP camera 📷 (1600×1200) via MIPI‑CSI, capable of HD video recording 🎥, image processing 🖼️, and edge AI applications 🤖 (e.g., face recognition 😊, object tracking 🎯).

🔌 Peripheral Interfaces

• USB‑A (Host) 🔗 and USB‑C (USB 2.0 OTG) ⚡ ports for connecting peripherals like a mouse 🖱️ or keyboard ⌨️.

• RS‑485 bus communication 🔄 (SIT3088 + DIP switch‑selectable 120 Ω termination) for industrial scenarios 🏭.

• Expansion options: Grove 🌱, M5BUS 🔧, GPIO_EXT header 🔌, Micro SD card slot 💾, plus reserved STAMP pads 📡 (supporting Cat.M, NB‑IoT, LoRaWAN, etc.).

• Includes Reset/Boot buttons 🔘 for quick reset and firmware download mode.

🎵 Audio & Video

• Uses ES8388 audio codec 🎶 + ES7210 AEC echo‑cancellation 🎧 front end.

• Equipped with a dual‑microphone array 🎤🎤, 3.5 mm headphone jack 🎧, and speaker 🔊 for high‑fidelity recording/playback and accurate voice recognition 🗣️.

• Built‑in BMI270 6‑axis sensor 🌀 (accelerometer + gyroscope) with interrupt wakeup, enabling motion‑tracking 🏃 and posture detection 🧍 for responsive low‑power operation.

⏱️ Time & Power Management

• Integrates RX8130CE real‑time clock ⏰ with timed interrupt wakeup.

• Supports removable NP‑F550 lithium battery 🔋.

• Includes MP4560 boost/buck ⚡, IP2326 charge/discharge control 🔄, and INA226 real‑time monitoring 📊 for stable operation without external power.

🏗️ Structural Design

• Features a standard 1/4″‑20 tripod mount 📸 on the side, allowing direct attachment to tripods or other mounts for easy shooting 🎬 and deployment 🚀.
