M5Stack Tab5 IoT Development Kit  ESP32-P4 (M5-C145)  5‑inch IPS TFT display 1280×720

Tab5 is a highly expandable, portable smart-IoT terminal development device for developers, integrating a dual-core architecture and rich hardware resources. The main controller adopts the ESP32-P4 SoC based on the RISC-V architecture, with 16MB Flash and 32MB PSRAM. The wireless module uses the ESP32-C6-MINI-1U, supporting Wi-Fi 6. Its antenna system can freely switch between the built-in 3D antenna and an external MMCX antenna interface, flexibly adapting to various deployment environments to ensure data throughput and low-latency control. In terms of visual and interactive experience, the Tab5 is equipped with a 5″ 1280×720 IPS touchscreen featuring an MIPI‑DSI interface, delivering a smooth and responsive touch interaction. It also comes with an SC2356 2MP camera (1600×1200) that uses an MIPI‑CSI interface, enabling HD video recording, image processing, and edge AI applications such as facial recognition and object tracking. Peripheral interfaces include USB Type-A (Host) and USB Type-C (USB 2.0 OTG) for mouse, keyboard and other devices. Industrial users can leverage RS-485 (SIT3088 + switchable 120Ω terminator). HY2.0-4P, M5-Bus, GPIO_EXT headers, a microSD slot, and reserved STAMP pads (for Cat-M, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, etc.) enable versatile sensor and communication expansion. Reset/Boot buttons provide quick reset and download-mode entry.

Audio features consist of an ES8388 codec plus an ES7210 AEC front-end, a dual-mic array, 3.5mm headphone jack and speaker, supporting Hi-Fi recording/playback and accurate voice recognition. A BMI270 6-axis sensor (accelerometer + gyroscope, interrupt wake-up) can wake the MCU in motion-tracking scenarios, boosting response efficiency in low-power mode.

For time and power, Tab5 integrates an RX8130CE RTC (timed interrupt wake-up). The base accepts a removable NP-F550 Li-ion battery and features MP4560 buck-boost, IP2326 charge management, and INA226 real-time monitoring for stable standalone operation.

A 1/4″-20 tripod nut on the side allows direct mounting to a tripod or bracket.

Applications include smart-home control, remote monitoring, industrial automation, IoT prototyping and education, offering a full-featured, easily expandable high-performance platform.
