XIAO RP2040 CPU - Rev 1

• Fatal flaw, can't use the RP2040 since the UART voltages are 5V and the RP2040 doesn't work at 5V

• USB/Serial
• Drive SPI I2C 8-bit parallel port expander
• SD card

Parallel I/O Port

• 3.3V levels
• I2C Bus driven from RP2040
• Int to RP2040

SD Card (Rev 2)

• Connected to RP2040
• Can be used to send program code to the CPU

SD Card (Rev1)

• Need to not install level translators
• Need to short across the SD card lines

Backplane

Mechanicals

Rev 2

• Move J3 GND, VCC silkscreen over
