We started recently new design with Allwinner S3 SOC.

The board have these features:

Allwinner S3 Cortex-A7 running at 1.2Ghz

AXP209 PMU with Lipo charger and step-up for UPS

internal 1Gb DDR3 RAM at 1333Mhz

100Mb Ethernet interface with PoE option

NAND/eMMC/SPI Flash on socket

WiFi / BT module with RTL8723BS

Audio In and Out

UEXT connector

Lipo battery connector

Configuration EEPROM

LCD connector for LCD-OLinuXino

MIPI camera connector with RPi pinout

CSI camera connector

Dimensions: 60 x 50 mm

S3 SOC is on bottom so heatsink could be add if overheating due to the small PCB area.

We want to build intelligent camera solution which can be powered by PoE and can work with both wired and wireless Ethernet connection.

We add MIPI camera connector with RPi pinout as there are plenty of cheap 5Mpix cameras available.

We also will provide CSI camera with 5-8Mpix separately.

Why we do this board? We want to have intelligent IP camera among our tools and we put features which are necessary to fit our potential projects. This board have also potential for Voice over IP , Video over IP, Security, Home remote monitoring etc.

Initial upload on GitHub is with our schematic and components put on PCB locations, routing is ahead, so we would like to hear your opinion.

Did we forgot something?

Can we do something differently or better?

Let us know what do you think.
