Restoring Main Board and Shield Board Connections
Both the main board and shield board can be restored to their original connections by populating the
52-pin female/male headers J26/J27 and connecting them together. This is shown in
.
Note that this method restores most of the connections between the boards. However, there are
some known limitations and differences between the restored board and the actual (not separated)
board. The details are captured in
“Known Limitations after Board Separation” on page 74

Using the Shield Board
The separated shield board can be used as an Arduino shield with any Arduino-compatible base-
board such as CY8CKIT-042 and CY8CKIT-044. This board can also be used as a shield with the
CY8CKIT-046 main board. To use the board as a shield, the even pins on headers J17, J18, J19,
and J20 should be populated with male headers that can plug into an Arduino baseboard.

CY8CKIT-046 main board.
