Tanmatsu: connectors
1 - Tanmatsu: external add-on port
The external expansion port (CATT, for “Connect All The Things”) on Tanmatsu has been designed to be compatible with both PMOD and SAO add-on boards, in addition to it being a port that exposes 8 GPIOs and 3.3v power it can also be used as JTAG interface for the ESP32-P4.

Limitations & warnings
- Total for all 3.3v outputs must not exceed 1A of current. It is generally adviced to stay well below this figure.
1.1 - SAO adapter
The CATT to SAO adapter is a small adapter board that converts the external add-on port of Tanmatsu into a standard “Simple Add-On” port as found on various event badges.
Assembling the adapter
The recommended method for assembling the adapter board is to start with the male pinheader connecting to Tanmatsu as this component is of lower height than the boxed female header for the SAO side. Make sure that the side of the board with the “CATT SAO” text is the side on which you plug in the connectors, assembling the board upside down will not work.

2 - Tanmatsu: internal add-on port
This port is not exposed by default, and a modified back cover needs to be used to make it accessible. For this reason the port is also named the “internal expansion port”.

Identification EEPROM
Please include a small EEPROM at address 0x50 on your boards, this will allow Tanmatsu to identify which add-on board has been connected.
The format for the content of this EEPROM has yet to be determined, currently the launcher firmware has no support for identifying add-ons.
The format will most likely be based on the format described here.
Usage
We recommend to start with the GPIOs that do not have shared functions. The following GPIOs on the add-on header can be used without limitations:
E0, E1, E7, E8, E9, E10, E11, E12 and E13
If the built-in LDO number 4 of the ESP32-P4 is enabled (this powers up the SD card slot) then the following GPIOs will be available,
a level shifter is included on the main board so these GPIOs are always using 3.3v voltage level regardless of the SD card operating in 3.3 volt or 1.8 volt mode.
E3, E4, E5 and E6
The following pins can also be used if remapped to GPIO, there might be some activity on these pins during startup or while the launcher is running:
EXT_USB_P, EXT_USB_N, P4_TX and P4_RX
The following pins share functions with other peripherals on the main board. Use these with caution:
E2, I2S_MCLK, I2S_LRCK, I2S_DATA, I2S_SCLK, I3C_SDA and I3C_SCL
Using these pins for other purposes than their intended purpose will render either on-board audio, the QWIIC port or the camera port unusable when the add-on board is plugged in.
Limitations & warnings
- Total for all 3.3v outputs must not exceed 1A of current. It is generally adviced to stay well below this figure.
- Do not exceed a current of 1.5A from the battery when the battery is connected to the internal battery connector
- Do not charge the battery via the internal add-on port
