REQUIRED ADDITIONAL PARTS
The Helike 1.0 UA-E3010 development board is delivered with a MicroSD card that can be used to store
filter coefficients and audio files for playback. Note that the MicroSD card is empty when delivered, and the
user must place the desired files (media, configuration files).
Depending on which of the above products will be tested, the corresponding extension kit must be
acquired separately.
