Arduino 828p Pro Mini

I bought this small board Arduino Mini (the right board, not the left board which is just a power regulator) from eBay from China for less than $2 plus S/H.  The bareboard has SMD version of Atmel AVR 828p, a RESET switch (left), and bunch of I/O ports.  The board seems a clone of what Sparkfun has (see https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11113)

Specifications:
  • 20 Digital input / output ports:TX, RX, D2..D13, A0 .. A5
  • 8 analog inputs ports:A0 ~ A7
  • 1 pairs of TTL level serial transceiver ports RX / TX
  • 6 PWM ports: D3, D5, D6, D9, D10, D11
  • Main Chip: Atmel Atmega328P-AU
  • Support Serial Download
  • Support external power supply 3.8-12V DC
  • Support 12V or less than 12V battery power supply
  • 16MHz clock frequency
  • Size: 33.8mm x 18mm
  • Supports auto-reset
  • Max 150mA output
  • Over current protected
  • Weighs less than 2 grams

When supplying unregulated power to the board, we should connect to the “RAW” pin and not VCC.
I/O pins are labeled "D0", "D1", ... "D13" for digital I/Os, and "A0" to "A7" for analog inputs.  There are two TRO and RXI pins.
