4. Kit Peripheral Features
Following is a list of the specific features that have been implemented:
⚫ PMOD: 1 Digilent PMOD connectors, supporting UART, SPI and I2C configurations.
⚫ Microphones: 1 I2S MEMS digital microphones and 2 MEMS analog microphones, distance between
each pair of microphones is 50mm which is suitable for beamforming applications.
⚫ Audio out: One stereo audio headphone jack supporting mono output on both channels.
⚫ LEDs: Five LEDs, D2 (Red), D3 (Green) and D4 (Blue) configurable by user, D5 (Blue) as a 3.3V
power indicator, D8(Green) as a JLOB (J-LINK on board) indicator.
⚫ Buttons: One RESET button (S2), and one USER button (S1).
⚫ Debug: J-Link On-Board debug interface, supporting JTAG or SWD debug port.
⚫ USB: Micro USB-B (J6) for power input and J-Link On-Board function, USB-C (J1) for power input
only.
⚫ Form Factor: 7.5 x 6 cm
