9 LEDs
The LS1028ARDB has numerous onboard light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which can be used to monitor various system functions,
such as power-on, reset, board faults, and so on. The information collected from LEDs can be used for debugging purposes.
The following table lists all the LEDs available on the top-side of the LS1028ARDB board.
on page 5 shows the position of LEDs on the board.
