1.1 Compatible Xplained Pro Hardware

The Xplained Pro platform consists of several standardized building blocks that need to work together for the system to work. Otherwise interoperability issues may occur where extensions cannot be connected due to incompatible pinout or the hardware identification system does not work. Typical hardware building blocks on the Xplained Pro platform are:
  • Standardized pinout and position for extension headers
  • Standardized board sizes
  • Embedded Debugger (EDBG)
  • Hardware identification system
  • Xplained Pro Analog Module (XAM)

The Hardware Development Kit provides all information that is necessary to create an Xplained Pro product that is compatible with the Xplained Pro platform. The above building blocks are described in this document.
