5 Connecting Radio Frequency Board to a Custom Board
The radio frequency boards found as part of this kit can be used stand alone as well
as in conjunction with the processor board. Table 4-1 shows the pinout of the
standardized 10-pin bus that is defined between the two unit. However, it is possible
to add the radio frequency board to any routing as long as the required signals are
available. This is possible due to the radio frequency board being able to be mounted
on the squid cable included in this kit. With this squid cable it is possible to route all
10 signals down onto a custom hardware. The reminder of this chapter shows a few
examples on how to wire these signals.

Besides from being used on the processor boards the radio frequency board can be
attached to wide range of Atmel evaluation and starter kits. The following kits are
