"Test points" on page 33

Basic Description

The development board contains connectors, switches, and LEDs for use while integrating 

the embedded module into your design. See the following figure for the location of the 

connectors, switches, and LEDs. Additionally, the board provides test points (not shown on 

the figure). For more information about test points, see "Test points" on page 33.
