		+	Here's a pic of the board, some of the pinouts can be seen on it. [http://pandorapress.net/files/2010/02/rev5.jpg]
		+
		+	==Ext Connector==
		+	[[Image:Cable_connector pinout.png\|thumb\|TV cable connector]]

		+	* UART2
		+	* UART3
		+	* TV out

		+	* Stereo line in
		+	* The UART lines can also be used as GPIO (six of them) and PWM lines (four of them).
		+
		+
		+	''Where can we get the connectors from?''
		+
		+	* The connector appears to be a Tyco Electronics connector, part number 1717169-2
		+	* The manufacturer does not stock these for engineering samples, and very few vendors carry them
		+	* Community member [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/user/157-wizardstan/ WizardStan] has ordered a bunch and is selling them at $2 a piece plus shipping from Canada, [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/2675-ext-connectors/ see here (thread)] or [http://pandorapress.net/2011/05/18/ext-connectors-have-arrived/ here (article)]
		+
		+	===How Do I Make a TV-Out Cable?===
		+	* There are some useful tips in the [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/2675-ext-connectors/ EXT Connectors] thread.
		+	* A guide explaining one way of creating the video cables can be found [http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/pandora.cgi?0,0,0,0,23,465 here]
		+	* MarkoeZ Has written a blog post about it [http://markoez.pirategames.co.uk/index.php/blog/pandora-ext-tv-out-explained/ here]
		+
		+	==Battery==
		+	[[Image:Battery.jpg\|thumb]]
		+	* 3.7V
		+	* Lithium polymer single cell battery
		+	* 4000 mAH, 4 AH
		+	* battery cover here: [http://www.openpandora.org/images/Battery2.jpg]
		+	* reading out battery information: [[data provided by Battery and Power driver]]
		+
		+	==Internal connections==
		+
		+	===LCD===
		+	* TD043MTEA1 [http://beyondinfinite.com/lcd/Library/Toppoly/TD043MTEA1.pdf datasheet]
		+	* LTPS (8-bit parallel input for R, G and B, with separate horizontal and vertical sync)
		+	* 3.0V
		+
		+	===UART===
		+	* UART2 and 3 are available via the EXT connector, and via internal solder pads on the latest revision
		+	** UART2 appears to support hardware flow control with RTS/CTS lines
		+	** On the 2.6.27 Kernel UART3 is /dev/ttyS0
		+	** On 2.6.37 or later, UART2 is accessible through /dev/ttyO1, UART3 is on /dev/ttyO2
		+
		+	===GPIO===
		+	* 6 are available on the EXT connector
		+	* 7 are internal, 2 of which can be used as extra shoulder buttons
		+	* 1 located on the LCD cable
		+
		+	===JTAG===
		+	* Yes, 1.8V 10-pin (board label JTAG)
		+
		+	===I<sup>2</sup>C===
		+	* One at 1.8V from the OMAP (board label I2C3-1V8)
		+	* One at 2.8V (board label I2C3-2V8)
		+
		+	=== USB ===
		+	* No internal USB ports
		+
		+	===Keypad backlight===
		+	* ?
		+
		+	===Extra LEDs===
		+	LED7 and LED8 can be added. You need to add FETs (Q17 and Q18) and resistors (R165, R166, R167 and R168)
		+	See the official "Pandora Hacker Guide" from Michael Weston for more details and component values.
