EVK-NORA-W1 - User guide 3.4 LEDs A RGB LED is provided on the evaluation board. It is powered by +3V3 and turned on by pulling the associated GPIO low. The RGB LED can be disconnected from the GPIO by removing the associated resistor R78 – R79. The evaluation board is also equipped with LEDs that shows the signal status of UART0 RGB LED Associated GPIO... -
Page 11: Serial Communication
EVK-NORA-W1 - User guide 3.5 Serial communication The evaluation board allows for easy serial communication with the NORA-W10 module and a connected computer. The EVK is using a single FTDI interface IC providing one COM port. • The single port is connected to module UART0 through 1K resistors. This allows for simultaneously connecting UART0 signals to pin sockets J3 and J5. -
