General description
The PRO development kit consists of the motherboard (Pro motherboard) and the PRO
daughterboard (two variants available, AQFN60 and WLCSP):
• PRO motherboard with board number: 224-12-E
• AQFN60 daughterboard, with board number: 224-14-D
• WLCSP daughterboard with board number: 224-15-E
Individual daughterboards are populated with each different version of SoC. For DA14681,
DA14683 and DA15101 an external Flash is populated and there are daughterboard options with
the SOC in aQFN-60 or WLCSP-53 package. For DA14680, DA14682 and DA15100 no external
Flash is populated and these are available only in the aQFN-60 package.

RESET pin of Da1468x/DA1510x is driven through inverter U2, from:
- USB to JTAG chip (U4)
- USB to UART chip (U12). This option is not enabled
- An active-low signal applied to J3-21
After inversion the reset signal (RST) is driven to daughter board connector (J1)
Reset button (K2) connects the RST pin directly with V33, therefore creates a hardware reset on the
SOC regardless the state of other possible sources. This is useful in case the daughterboard is
supplied from a battery while the PRO-Motherboard is not powered at all.
