Tips, Tricks, Caveats

FEL mode

The recovery button (right, under the battery connector) triggers FEL mode.

LCD modules

You can attach several Olimex LCD modules to the LCD connector (LCD_CON). You will need a 1.27mm pitch to 2.54mm 40 pin cable though.

Adding a serial port

UART pins

There is a clearly marked 3 pin 2.54mm header which exposes UART0, just attach some leads according to our UART howto.
