Notes

  • ESP32-S3FN8 chip; 8 MB internal flash, 8 MB external PSRAM
  • Very small 28 x 11 mm outline
  • USB connector type not stated on the cited spec matrix (omitted)
  • io.gpio_exposed=27 QUOTED: vendor page states "27 GPIO". io.power_out omitted: vendor states only "700mA 3.3V LDO Regulator" with no external-load framing (unlike FeatherS3/ProS3's dedicated LDO2)
  • io.gpio_free=22 DERIVED: CircuitPython's board pin table (unexpectedmaker_nanos3/pins.c) lists exactly 27 IO-numbered pins, GPIO {0-18, 21, 33,34,35,36,37, 43,44} -- matches vendor's "27" exactly (no battery/RGB-power pins are broken out on this non-battery board; NEOPIXEL/NEOPIXEL_POWER on GPIO41/42 carry no IO-alias and are excluded). Subtracting esp32-s3's soc.reserved_pins present in that 27-pin set (strapping {0,3}: 2; usb_flash_tied {35,36,37}: 3 -- 5 total) gives 27 - 5 = 22
