Where is J4 in the new board, & how many pins does it have?

Post by BruceRMcF »

I have been going off of the documentation to look at using the "spare" pins on VIA#1 on the J4 jumper for access to internal SPI bus daughterboards if either the User Port VIA for relatively fast SPI is not available, or else is being dedicated to something else. This ranges from an SPI UART to a CPM card.

But I don't see anything that looks like the J4 in the documentation on the board shown in the video at Texelec.

Does anyone know if (1) they have reduced the number of available J4 pins or (2) the J4 jumper is sitting somewhere out of sight, or (3) they have scratched the J4 jumper and the docs are just not up to date with the change.

Here it is on my board (DEV0080) right between the CPU and the System VIA:

Thanks! I could not see six pins in the video, so that's a relief.
