Key Technical Features:
Central Processing: Powered by an ESP module featuring an Xtensa® 32-bit LX7 dual-core or RISC-V 32-bit single-core processor, with built-in Wi-Fi 2.4GHz and Bluetooth 5 (LE). It excels in AIoT applications like wake word detection, voice command recognition, and smart home panels.
Superior Network Interface: Utilizes the DM9051AN(X) high-speed Ethernet controller. It integrates an SPI interface, a 10/100M PHY, and 4K SRAM for highly stable network connectivity.
Advanced Audio Processing:
-
-
Features the ES8311 low-power, single-channel audio codec, integrating an ADC, DAC, and headphone driver via I2S and I2C interfaces.
-
Includes the ES7210, a high-performance 4-channel analog-to-digital audio converter (ADC), ideal for microphone arrays and Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC).
-
Equipped with the ANT8110, a 3W single-channel Class-D audio amplifier (Audio PA) that delivers robust sound with ultra-low EMI and a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
-
Storage & Connectivity: Supports a 1-wire mode TF Card (microSD) for audio file playback/storage , alongside USB-C, RJ45, and speaker output ports.
3. Optimized Design for Developers
Every component on the SR-ETH-01-EVK is logically arranged, enabling engineers to easily manipulate, program, and integrate the board into real-world projects.
