Flexibility in fitting the ArcadeIT! system into your design!
The power port of the ArcadeIT! mainboard is a standard 3 signals pin header, that carries GND, 5.0V and 3.3V.
These are the most common power signals for embedded systems, so you can use a common dual voltage power unit for emedded systems, or you can use the special power unit of the ArcadeIT! line.
The correct working status of the power lines is shown by the LED3 for 3.3V, and LED4 for 5.0V.
The ArcadeIT! mainboard is equipped by a Real Time Clock, ruled by the external crystal X2, which has a value of 32.768kHz.
In order to keep the clock alive when the board is OFF you need to provide power to connect a 3.0V battery to this port. You can use a common 3.0 power source, or you can use the special battery unit of the ArcadeIT! line.
This port provides also 5.0V and GND signals for special external circuits you may need.
The programming port is used to flash the firmware and your aplications into the board.
The port layout follows the JTAG pinout, which is used by the ST-LINK programmer by STMicroelectronics
