Iteaduino PLUS with A10 core Manual 

Overview 

ITEAD A10 CORE is a minimum system module based on design of A10 chip. With ARM Cortex A8 core, it 

supports maximum frequency up to 1GHz. The high-speed digital circuit section and the overall power 

circuit design of SDRAM on the module has been completed, so it can work directly after powering up 

with a stable 5V supply. 

 

Iteaduino Plus is a function evaluation baseboard for ITEAD A10 CORE, which breaks out the most of the 

interfaces  such  as  HDMI  interface,  Micro-SD  socket,  USB  socket,  SATA  interface  (data  and  power), 

Ethernet RJ45 interface and audio input / output) socket on the core board module as well as some GPIO 

interfaces for users to make secondary development. 

 

Core  board  and  baseboard  are  designed  and  sold  separately.  In  the  future,  we  will  provide  more 

baseboards with various functions as well as more powerful core boards to meet the needs from different 

users. Users can very easily make secondary development to realize their ideas on such basis, and they 

can even design the shields on their own on the basis of the core board- the most complex high-speed 

circuit has been modularized, thus design of shields would be relatively easy and simple. 

 

With a variety of powerful library functions offered with ITEAD OS, users can directly manipulate ordinary 

GPIO and UART interfaces (which has been achieved in  β  version), I2C and SPI bus (which will be realized 

in V1.0 version), and we will continue to release various library files, such as TFT drive, servo drive, FFT
