Physical Specification¶
Pinout¶
The K2C is equipped with 20-pin socket.
Note
1. Functions marked with an asterisk (*) in the diagram are default software-configured functions. To configure them for other purposes, modification of the source code is required.
2. DEBUG_UART0_RX/TX is configured as serial debugging by default, and it is not recommended to use it as a regular serial port or for other functions.
3. TWI is equivalent to I2C: TWI1_SCK/TWI1_SDA are the same as I2C_CLK/I2C_SDA.
