Hackboard2
Launched as a crowdfunding campaign on CrowdSupply in Late 2020. Mine arrived in October 2023.
Specs/Chips
- Celeron N2040 (2x 1.1GHz, 2.8 boost)
- 4GB DDR3 (2x BiWinTech BWMZAX32H2A-32-16G-X)
- ITE IT8987E SuperIO
Interfaces
- 1x m.2 SATA (2280 ONLY)
- 1x m.2 SATA + USB (not sure, marked 4G_5G_SSD, also 2280 only)
- 3x USB 3.0 Type-A
- USB 3.? Type-C (not used for anything else - power, display, etc.)
- HDMI (not sure of revision)
- 5.5mm x 2.5mm DC power jack (12v, center positive)
- 2mm GPIO header
- 5v fan header - JST2.0, 2 pin, 5v
- 10 pin battery header - same as lattepanda alpha?
- USB 2.0 header - JST2.0, 4 pin
- touch panel (?) flat flex connector, 6 pin
- eDP 30pin, flat flex
40pin GPIO
This header claims to match the Raspberry Pi in pinout, but this has yet to be shown. There is zero documentation from the Hackboard team about how to actually utilize any of these pins. At the very least, the power and ground pins match those on the Pi. TxT and RxT are not mapped to ttyS0-3. Similarly, SDA/SCL do not map to any of the i2c interfaces found by linux using the i2c-dev tools.
gpioinfo reports 220 GPIO pins, but testing has not yet begun for mapping those pins to the header.
The header also uses a non-standard 2.0mm pin spacing.
eDP & Touch
These are likely the same interfaces used by some of the newer LattePanda Alpha/Delta boards. The eDP connector is a 30pin zif. Uses an “A type” cable like this one.
