The platform can be powered from either an external 5v supply (Bench supply or USB cable) or from one of
three different types of batteries.
The board is mbed enabled allowing the user to utilize mbed tools and example source code as well as Keil
tools to develop custom FW for their ARM Cortex based SoC while it is still in development. It also supports
drag-n-drop FW programming of the Module.
