Demo Board
The Starter-Kit usually contains two Demo Boards where the iM871A modules can be
mounted on. The Demo Boards offer several often used peripherals like e.g. buttons and
LEDs. The module can easily be accessed via the on board FTDI RS232 to USB converter.
Figure 5-1 gives an overview of the Demo Board and its peripherals.

Using the Demo Board with the iM871A it must be soldered on its specific adapter board and
plugged into X1 and X2. Now all necessary module pins are available on X5, X6, and X7 of
the Demo Board.
Table 5-1 shows the used peripherals and its mapping to the radio module iM871A when
setting the corresponding jumper on X5, X6 and X7.
