HDMI
The MinnowMax uses a Type D micro-HDMI connector. This is a standard port, for which cables and adapters can be readily picked up from most electronics stores

Low Speed Expansion (Top)
*** THIS IS PRE-PRODUCTION INFORMATION AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BEFORE PRODUCTION SHIPPING ***

The low speed connector uses 0.1" (2.54 mm) Male header pins in a 2 x 13 array, for a total of 26 pins. Pin 1 is the in the row closest to the power connector, and closest to the board edge.

Layout
NOTE: Pins 5-26 are shown above with their PRIMARY configuration, any pin may be switched to being a generic GPIO as well. This would give a total of 22 GPIOs, with two of those being PWM capable.

SPI Header to Firmware flashing J1
*** THIS IS PRE-PRODUCTION INFORMATION AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BEFORE PRODUCTION SHIPPING ***

This is a pinned out port to allow for external flashing of the boot spi. Dediprog and Flyswatter devices have been tested and verified to work with this.

Power Connection J2 (SIP2_FAN)
*** THIS IS PRE-PRODUCTION INFORMATION AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BEFORE PRODUCTION SHIPPING ***

This is a 5V 2-pin pin out originally intended to be used for a CPU fan. The single core (E3815) and the dual core (E3825) however use passive heat sinks, and thus do not, under normal circumstances, need a fan. It is theoretically possible to pull upwards of 1A through this port, however you should refer to the released schematics to verify that number before attempting to use this for anything.
