Hardware
4.3.5.2 Functionality of Unpopulated Header J12
The J12 header is a 2×3 header that supports Arduino shields. This header is used on a small
subset of shields and is unpopulated on the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit. Note that the J12 header only
functions in 5.0 V mode. To ensure proper shield functionality, ensure the power jumper is connected
in 5.0 V mode.
4.3.6 Digilent Pmod Compatible Header (J5 - unpopulated)
This port supports Digilent Pmod peripheral modules. Pmods are small I/O interfaces, which connect
with the embedded control boards through either 6- or 12-pin connectors. The PSoC Pioneer Kit
supports the 6-pin Pmod type 2 (SPI) interface. For Digilent Pmod cards, go to www.digilentinc.com.
This header is not populated on the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit. You must populate this header before
connecting the Pmod daughter cards. Refer to the “No Load Components” section of A.6 Bill of
Materials (BOM) on page 108 for the header part number.
