As you can see in the picture, here’s the major component you must know before you start your design:

KL520: AI SoC.

5V Power (DC Jack): 5V input for the development board, used a 5V/4A adaptor.

USB Power: 5V input for the Power bank.

Power Switch: a switch for the adapter or power bank, you can see LED on when you turn on the

switch.

UART0/UART4: a connector that uses a TTL to USB cable for developing.

JTAG: a connector that uses JTAG/ICE cable for developing.

PTN: a button that used to turn on the KL520.

Reset BTN: a button that used to reset the KL520.

USB connector: a micro USB connector that used USB connector for developing.

Boot Switch: Selection for boot from SPI or boot from UART.

2.5 Pin mux and Jumpers

To make some flexibility for the developers, the development board has made some jumper options. Most

IOs has series jumper on it. If users want to do some other thing that do not include in development

board, he can just take off the jumper and jump to other peripherals or even scope for debugging. Some

IOs also offers different functionality, users can simply choose different functions by choosing different

jumper location. Bellowing table shows the hardware setting on the development board. Please also be

aware of that the content has the “/” word means that it has multiple functions and can be configured by

choosing different jumper locations.

Boost jumper, SW3, a jumper that can helps user to config boot mode.

When SW3=0, it’s boot from UART. When SW3=1, it’s boot from JTAG
