SPX™ Expansion Bus
Up to two serial peripheral expansion (SPX) devices can be attached to the Blackbird at
connector using a CBR-0901 cable. The SPX interface provides the standard serial peripheral
interface (SPI) signals: CLK, MISO, and MOSI, as well as two chip selects, SS0# and SS1#. The
+5 V power provided to pin 1 of the SPX connector is protected by a 1 A resettable fuse.
The figure below shows the location and pin orientation of the SPX connector.
