Current Measurement
The P5 jumper enables the measurement of the current being consumed by the reference design (AWR
device, PMIC, and LDOs) at a 5-V level.
To measure the current, resistor R118 must be removed and a series ammeter can be put across the P5
pins (shown in
Figure 13. P5 Pins

Usage
Comments
SW2
RESET
Used to RESET the AWR1642 device.
This signal is also brought out on the 20-
pin connector and 60-pin HD connector so
an external processor can control the
AWR device. The onboard XDS110 can
also use this reset.
SW1
GPIO_1
When pushed, the GPIO_1 is pulled to
V
CC
.
DS2
5-V supply indication
This LED indicates the presence of the 5-
V supply.
DS4
nRESET
This LED is used to indicate the state of
nRESET pin. If this LED is glowing, the
device is out of reset. This LED will glow
only after the 5-V supply is provided.
DS1
Nerr_OUT
Glows if there is any HW error in the AWR
device
DS3
GPIO_1
Glows when the GPIO is logic-1
