The A1 and A2 pins are the EEPROM address inputs that can be pull either high or low using jumpers at J74 to 
define the device address. By default, jumpers can be removed so that A1 and A2 are left floating as they are 
internally pulled down to GND in most EEPROM devices. 
The WP pin is the write-protect input. When the WP pin is pulled down to GND (Low), the EEPROM can have 
normal write operations. When it is pulled up directly to V
CC
 (High), all write operations are inhibited. The WP pin 
can be controlled with a jumper at J71. 
To establish a connection to the EEPROM, the SDA and SCL traces must be connected to the FTDI 
communication path. Populate R122 and R124 with 0 Ohms to make the connection. This will allow software 
features like RICBox to communicate with the EEPROM device.

When the device attempts to load an EEPROM configuration during start-up, the FTDI I
2
C controller can cause 
interference. The FTDI device can be removed from the I
2
C trace path by removing jumpers J61 and J62. This 
will also disconnect RICBox from communicating with the RC22312A/RC32312A device.
