SPI EXPANSION 

A SPI expansion header has been included for the user to be 
able to install any SPI device desired.  It should be noted that 
this header only supports 5V logic devices.  If you install 3.3V 
logic devices, they may become damaged.  

It is the user’s responsibility to provide logic level translation if 
a 3V3 device is used in the port. 

The Chip Select CS1 has been routed to this port, which is 
supported natively with Device Tree Overlays for convenience, 
additional SPI devices can be used on this port as well, but the user is responsible for providing the Chip 
Select connectivity.   

It is recommended to utilize MCP23S17 gpio expander device if a Chip Select source is needed for 
multiple SPI devices are desired.  The MCP23S17 device is recommended due to wide usage and 
support provided by current Raspberry Pi distributions. 

3.9

 

I2S EXPANSION 

A  10 pin  header  has  been included  to  allow  for  specialized  I2S 
sound card devices to be used.  This is provided for user design. 

INSTALLED  I2S  SOUND  CHIPS  IN  LOCATIONS  U7  OR  U9 
MUST BE REMOVED PRIOR TO INSTALLING ANYTHING ON 
THIS HEADER. 

3.10

 

1-WIRE HEADER 

A 3 pin header has been included to allow for specialized 1-wire devices to be 
used.  This is provided for user design and devices on this port are not supported 
by ICS-CTRL. 

This port connects directly to the processor and misconnected devices may cause 
damage to the system.  Please use appropriate precautions to prevent damage to you Raspberry Pi.
