2. Radio Board Connector

2.1 Introduction

The board-to-board connector scheme allows access to all MGM13S12 GPIO pins as well as the RESETn signal. For more information
on the functions of the available pins, see the MGM13S12 data sheet.

2.2 Radio Board Connector Pin Associations

The figure below shows the mapping between the connector and the MGM13S12 pins and their function on the Wireless Starter Kit
Mainboard.
