4.2 RESET
The ZICM2410-EVB3, by default, has the switch labeled ‘RESETB’ (SW5) connected to the
‘RESET#’ pin of the ZICM2410 module. When pressed, the ZIC2410 will be reset. Using the
isolation DIP switches (U203:2), SW5 can be disconnected and external circuitry added.
Figure 3 – Photo, RESETB Push Button (SW5)
4.3 ISP SWITCH
The 2-position slide switch (SW7) controls the mode of operation, as shown in Figure 4. The
ZIC2410 can be placed into either ‘ISP’ or ‘NORMAL’ mode. When placed into ISP mode, the
ZIC2410 is configured for the programming of the internal Flash memory (i.e. a firmware
upgrade). In order to enter ISP mode, the slider switch must be set to ‘ISP’ and then power
applied to the device (alternatively, if power has already been applied the ‘RESETB’ pushbutton

may be pressed and released after the slider switch has been set). In order to return to
‘NORMAL’ mode after programming has completed, simply slide the slider switch to ‘NORMAL’
and press and release the ‘RESETB’ pushbutton.

4.4 POWER HEADER (J4)
This header allows the powering of the ZICM2410 module directly (bypassing the regulator)

corresponding GPIO pin must be set high. To turn off a LED, the GPIO pin must be cleared (set
low).

When a pushbutton switch is pressed, the corresponding GPIO is pulled low. When released
(or not pressed), the GPIO is pulled high. The pushbutton switches correspond to the GPIOs as
listed in Table 11. Switch #3 and #4 are dual purpose, as they can also be used as the External

4.7 EXTERNAL MEMORY
To store non-volatile data, the ZICM2410-EVB3 provides an on-board external SPI Flash
memory connected to the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) of the ZIC2410. The external
memory is required when performing Over-the-Air programming. Using the isolation DIP
switches, the memory can be easily disconnected from the ZIC2410. Figure 8 details the
connection details below.

4.8 VOICE CODEC
The ZICM2410-EVB3 has an on-board mono CODEC with speaker driver to support wireless
audio and voice. The primary purpose of the external chip is to perform the analog-to-digital
and digital-to-analog conversions. The CODEC is configured using the SPI interface while the
audio / voice data uses the ZIC2410’s I2S interface.
4.9 HEADPHONE / MICROPHONE JACKS
The ZICM2410-EVB3 is equipped with two 3.5 mm jacks, one for headphones and one for a
microphone input. The evaluation board has been optimized for headphones with 32 Ω
