Board Design

The board includes an RGB LED controller and extension connectors for embedded prototyping.

Features

This board has the following features:

• It has a CP2102 USB-to-serial chip for firmware uploading.
• It integrates an NXP PCA family chip for RGB LED control.
• It includes three LEDs for testing GPIO functions and debugging.
• It provides power-selection jumpers that allow users to power the board using an external debugger.
• It supports both JTAG and serial protocols for burning firmware.

The whole project can be divided into the following development phases:

• Designing the hardware system
• Choosing the components
• Designing, manufacturing, and assembling the PCBs
