registers. J33 is used to select the PMIC IO voltage, either 1.8 V or 3.3 V. The fifth header is J24 which allows
VCCA to be powered from the USB connection and the configuration of GPIO2, I2C2 or SPI.

Configuration
Description
SPI_EN
Open
I
2
C Mode. The signal path for I
2
C communication between the MCU
and the PMIC is enabled.
Closed (Default)
SPI mode. The signal path for SPI communication between the MCU
and the PMIC is enabled.
GPIO3, SDA2/SDO
Open
GPIO mode. GPIO2 from PMIC is connected to PM7 of the MCU
through a level translator.
GPIO3,SDA2/SDO: Closed
(Default)
I
2
C Mode (J18 VIO, I2C/SPI:
Open)
Q&A Watchdog mode. GPIO3
supports the Q&A Watchdog
when PMIC is in the Alternative
function and the I
2
C mode is
selected. This setting is also
done on connector J24 by closing
GPIO2 to SCL2/CS if I2C2 is
wanted to be used.
SPI mode (J18 VIO, I2C/SPI:
Closed)
SPI mode, Chip Select. GPIO2
and GPIO3 supports SPI
communication when the PMIC
is in the Alternative function.
This setting is also done on
connector J24 by closing GPIO2
to SCL2/CS if I2C2 is wanted to
be used.
GPIO6, nERR_MCU, GPIO7
Open (Default)
GPIO mode. GPIO6 of the PMIC is connected to PP5 of the through
a level translator.
GPIO6, nERR_MCU Closed
System error count down input signal from the MCU. VIO Select
must be 3.3 V. GPIO6 or GPIO7 supports the system error count
down from the MCU when the PMIC is in the Alternative function.
nERR_MCU, GPIO7 Closed
