3.9 System and user LEDs The DB4 IOT has six LEDs to be implemented on the board. Two activity LEDs: • WiFi activity LED – DB4 IOT drives this Yellow LED via MPP_2, an IO from the PMIC. • BT activity LED – DB4 IOT drives this Blue LED via MPP_3, an IO from the PMIC. Four User-LED’s: The four user LEDs are surface mount Green in 0603 size located next to the two USB type A connector and labeled ‘USER LEDS 4 3 2 1’.
4.1 UART {0/1} The 96Boards specifications calls for a 4-wire UART implementation, UART0 and an optimal second 2-wire UART, UART1 on the Low Speed Expansion Connector. The DB4 IOT implements UART0 as a 4-wire UART that connects directly to the APQ8016 SoC. These signals are driven at 1.8V.
4.6 Power and Reset The 96Boards specification calls for a signal on the Low Speed Expansion Connector that can power on/off the board and a signal that serves as a board reset signal. The DB4 IOT routes the PWR_BTN_N (named PHONE_ON_N on DB4 IOT schematic) signal to the KYPDPWR_N pin of the PM8916 PMIC.
5 Status LED’s There are two status LEDs and four User LEDs on the DB4 IOT. The Status LEDs report the status of the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices onboard. The user LEDs are driven by the SoC directly. 5.1 User LED 1-4 The four user LEDs are surface mount Green LED, 0603 size, located next to the two USB type A connector and labeled ‘USER LEDS 4 3 2 1’.

6 Boot configuration There is a Dip Switch marked S6 located at the top side of the DB4. For normal operation the switched need to be set to the ‘off’ position. When set to ‘on’ position, will force boot over USB connection with a PC. This is only required for eMMC boot image upgrade. Arrow.com.
