IOBUS4	IOBUS3
IOBUS2	IOBUS1
IOBUS0	GND

LEDS

• The only LED is a power LED

Jumper settings

• The jumpers are, from left to right, for CNFG2, CNFG1, and CNFG0. Placing a jumper connects the config pin to GND, removing it leaves the pin open. Please see the datasheet for the correct jumper settings.
