This makes each SiBRAIN card self-contained unit, allowing the development
board to operate on a logic level, not having to facilitate specific requirements
of many different MCUs. This also allows the MCU to be freely chosen,
not having to worry about the pin compatibility and similar issues. Most
importantly, it allows very simple swapping between different MCU types
during the development phase, without any hardware interventions.
From the top side, each SiBRAIN card has a clearly labeled MCU type it is
designed for (SiBRAIN for ATmega), as well as its PORT width, printed just
below the MCU type label (8-BIT PORT) (3).
In addition, pins are grouped in accordance to mikroBUS
they are routed. Therefore, there are 5 groups of pins. The pins labeled with
yellow color
represent corresponding pins on the MCU.
On the bottom side of the SiBRAIN card, users can find the hardware revision
number of the card itself (6).

Before you plug the SiBRAIN card into the socket, make sure that the
power supply is turned off. Check the SiBRAIN card orientation so it
matches the printed outline of the SiBRAIN card on the development
board. Place the SiBRAIN card so that both connectors are properly
aligned with their onboard counterparts. Then gently press down the
SiBRAIN card, if there is a physical resistance, please do not try to force
the SiBRAIN card into the socket.
