2.5 Hardware Modifications
To confirm the operation of the sample program, modifications were made to the RSK to enable battery
backup operation.
2.5.1 VBATT Connection
The RX231 RSK board is provided with jumper J10 to allow confirming operation of the battery backup
function. However, jumper J10 is not mounted on the board when it is shipped from the factory and VBATT
pin is connected to VCC by resistor R86. It is therefore necessary to make the following modifications.
1. Remove resistor R86.
2. Solder resistor R85 to the board.
3. Solder a pin header (two-pin) to the board in the jumper J10 location.
For reference when performing modifications, see Figure 2.2, Excerpt from RSKRX231
