C.1 Introduction
The Prototyping Board included in the Development Kit provides a prototyping area for more
advanced hardware development. The Prototyping Board is shown below in Figure C-1, with its
main features identified.
C.1.1 Prototyping Board Features
• Power Connection
socket connections.
—The power LED lights whenever power is connected to the Prototyping Board.
• Power LED
• Module Extension Headers
below header J2. Developers can solder wires directly into the appropriate holes, or, for more
flexible development, a 2 × 25 header strip with a 0.1" pitch can be soldered into place. See
Figure C-4 for the header pinouts.
—A generous prototyping area is provided for the installation of through-

hole and surface-mount components. +3.3 V and ground buses run along the left and right
edges of the through-hole prototyping area. The through-hole area is set up to accept compo-
nents with a pitch of 0.1" or widths of 0.3" or 0.6". Several areas for surface-mount devices are
also available. (Note that there are SMT pads on both the top and the bottom of the Prototyping
Board.) Each SMT pad is connected to a hole designed to accept a 30 AWG solid wire.
