specific PORT. These DIP switches are labeled as PORT LEDS (7) on the development
board (SW4 and SW5 provided separately on the schematic). A single DIP switch
position is used to disable a group of LEDs which belong to a PORT:
ON position (up): enables LEDs for a specific PORT, associated with the particular DIP
switch position (according to the 8-bit labeling scheme)
OFF position (down): disables LEDs for a specific PORT, associated with the particular
DIP switch position (according to the 8-bit labeling scheme)
2x5 PIN HEADERS
Besides LEDs, there are also 2x5 pin headers (8) in both COMPACT PORT and EXPANDED
PORT sections. All the pins which belong to a specific PORT are routed to the 2x5 pin
header located in that PORT section, along with the GND and the power rail.
These 2x5-pin headers can be used to expand the connectivity of the Fusion for
TIVA v8 development board, allowing interfacing with other devices, peripherals, and
measurement equipment, either by using IDC10 extension cables, IDC10 female
sockets, or simply by using jumper wires. Enhanced connectivity is one of the key
features of Fusion for TIVA v8 development board, there are many connectivity
options provided. However, 2x5-pin headers allow the most extensive connectivity as
they expose all the available GPIO MCU pins to the outside world.
