There are two boards based on the STM32MP1 SoC we have seen this year, the Avenger96 SBC, a sandwich-style 96Boards CE Extended SBC released by Arrow and the SOM-STM32MP157, a tiny COM module launched by Kontron. Memory features for the PanGu include 16-bit DDR3L DRAM up to 1GB, 8-bit eMMC flash, Quad-SPI NOR flash, and support for microSD. For the display feature, the board enables a parallel RGB LCD interface with resolution support for up to WXGA (1366×768), a MIPI DSI interface. It also supports resistive and capacitive touch panel, and an HDMI Type A connector with audio output included.

The PanGu is equipped with 2x USB host ports and a micro-USB 2.0 OTG port. An 8-bit parallel camera interface is available for camera support. The PanGu board displays 1x red LED for system power and 2x blue LEDs for users. Available also is a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack and support for microphone input. Debugging access is available via the board’s JTAG/SWD and TTL debug ports. The PanGu power options include a 5V DC and support USB or 3.81mm terminal block supplies, as well as Support for CR1225 batteries for backup, is available. The PanGu board can be expanded through an 80-pin board-to-board connector.

The PanGu is available for purchase from Taobao for the currently listed price on RMB 319 RMB (approximately $46.38 US). The price has apparently crashed significantly since June 25. The price as at last week was 499 RMB (approx. $72.50 US).
