M5Stack Tab5 IoT Dev Kit ESP32-P4 Smart IoT Terminal with Battery

M5Stack Tab5 is a highly extensible, portable smart IoT terminal designed for developers . It integrates a dualchip architecture and abundant hardware resources .

Its main controller adopts the RISCVbased ESP32P4 SoC , equipped with 16MB Flash and 32MB PSRAM .

The wireless module uses the ESP32C6MINI1U, supporting WiFi6 for faster connectivity.

Its antenna system can freely switch between the builtin 3D antenna and the external MMCX antenna interface , flexibly adapting to different deployment environments to ensure high data throughput and lowlatency control .

Vision & Interaction

• Tab5 features a 5 1280720 IPS TFT display via MIPIDSI, with touch handled by the GT911 multipoint controller (IC) for smooth, responsive interaction.

• Includes an SC2356 2MP camera (16001200) via MIPICSI, capable of HD video recording , image processing , and edge AI applications (e.g., face recognition , object tracking ).

Peripheral Interfaces

• USBA (Host) and USBC (USB2.0 OTG) ports for connecting peripherals like a mouse or keyboard .

• RS485 bus communication (SIT3088 + DIP switchselectable 120 termination) for industrial scenarios .

• Expansion options: Grove , M5BUS , GPIO_EXT header , Micro SD card slot , plus reserved STAMP pads (supporting Cat.M, NBIoT, LoRaWAN, etc.).

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

Audio & Video

• Uses ES8388 audio codec + ES7210 AEC echocancellation front end.

• Equipped with a dualmicrophone array , 3.5mm headphone jack , and speaker for highfidelity recording/playback and accurate voice recognition .

• Builtin BMI270 6axis sensor (accelerometer + gyroscope) with interrupt wakeup, enabling motiontracking and posture detection for responsive lowpower operation.

Time & Power Management

• Integrates RX8130CE realtime clock with timed interrupt wakeup.

• Supports removable NPF550 lithium battery .

• Includes MP4560 boost/buck , IP2326 charge/discharge control , and INA226 realtime monitoring for stable operation without external power.

Structural Design

• Features a standard 1/420 tripod mount on the side, allowing direct attachment to tripods or other mounts for easy shooting and deployment .

Tab5 Power Supply Notes:

Before disconnecting the power or replacing the battery, please perform a shutdown first. If the power is disconnected directly, wait 5 seconds before powering on again; otherwise, the IMU sensor may fail to initialize properly due to abnormal voltage.

Power On/Off

When the device is powered by a USB data cable or battery, press the power button once to power on while it is off. While it is on, double-press the power button to shut it down.

Battery Installation

With the device powered off, press and hold the red locking button on the side of the main board. Align the metal spring contacts on the back of the battery module with the BATTERY slot on the main board, then slide it downward along the rail until the battery module fits flush with the main board. Release the red button to complete installation and start powering the device.

M5-Bus Expansion

As shown below, the back of the Tab5 integrates an M5-Bus connector, which can be used to expand Module series products.
