3.8 Packet Traffic Arbitration (PTA) Co-existence Headers (J901 and J902)

The PIC32-BZ6 Curiosity Board provides two Packet Traffic Arbitration (PTA) headers (J901 and J902), each associated with one of the mikroBUS headers. Both PTA headers share the same pin assignment, as per Table 3-9, supporting software PTA for connecting the EV72E72A RNWF02 Add-on Board. For more details, refer to EV72E72A. The user can choose option 2 if option 1 is used for shared functions.
