The front side provides 12 V power, RESET/FEL/POWER keys, SIM and PCIe 4G, USB 3.0, dual USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, TF, Type-C OTG, HDMI OUT/IN, LT6911C programming, MIPI CSI, eDP, LVDS, fan, touch, RS232, RS485, two CAN channels, CPUX/CPUS debug UARTs, IR, PWM, ADC, LVDS/MIPI multiplexing, Wi-Fi/BT and audio connectors.

I527BV3 rear connectors

The rear side contains a 30-pin LVDS/MIPI connector, an M.2 expansion socket and an RTC backup-battery connector.

Use a 12 V / 3 A supply. RESET resets the board, FEL enters the Allwinner flashing mode, and POWER controls power/suspend/wakeup behavior.

USB, network and expansion​

  • Type-C is the OTG/Device port used for PhoenixSuit flashing and ADB.
  • One USB 3.0 Host and two USB 2.0 Host ports are available.
  • RTL8211F provides Gigabit Ethernet over RGMII.
  • The PCIe/SIM connector supports a 4G module.
  • TF and M.2 provide storage expansion; verify the M.2 key/protocol against the schematic and BOM.

HDMI input and output​

HDMI OUT is native to the SoC. HDMI IN is converted by LT6911C to a MIPI CSI stream.
