LEDs 

User LEDs are provided on the evaluation board - two red and two green. An RGB LED is also included 
and this can be enabled by changing the position of JLED1.  

LEDs are powered by 

VIO

 and are active low. The GPIO should be enabled for high drive when sinking 

current for the LEDs. The LEDs can be completely removed from the circuit by breaking the 
associated jumper.
