Hi Dave,

I've downloaded the kit documentation and the schematic. In the schematic the pins are indeed connected to GPIOs, the only thing that concerned me is that in the manual it says that these are management pins and not GPIOs. Now I understand that I can use them as GPIOs.

As I mentioned earlier I'll need to use a voltage translator in order to work with 3.3V logic (correct me if I'm wrong). It would be nice if the evaluation board had an option to change the IO voltage,

Thank you for your help.
