Extension Header Area

The marked area on the grid I7 to R8 can be used for strapping in an Xplained Pro extension header or a 10-pin legacy Xplained/RZ600 header.

Figure 1. Extension Header Area

The SPI bus signals are available close to the header at row J and K, enabling easy connection to header pin 15 to 18.

Using pins 11 to 20 enables connection of the 10-pin legacy header used on the RZ600 wireless modules and the 10-pin Xplained sensor modules.

The general bus connections for an Xplained Pro Extension board are indicated in the table below. Detailed wiring can be found in the selected extension board documentation.
