3.2 Terminal Blocks
The terminal blocks are simple push and release terminals which can accommodate wire sizes up to 14 AWG.
lists the terminal blocks found around the perimeter of the EVM. J6, VSYS, is the input voltage for all
regulators (BUCK and LDO).
The remaining 5 terminal blocks are the BUCK outputs.
