Power Supply 

  •  The 5.0V power supply can be provided by a USB connector (CON101) and a short J10.
  •  The 3.3V power supply (J3) for AW-HM610 pin.9 VBAT is converted from the 5V power supply through the LDO on the demo board. You can measure the current of VBAT by connecting an ammeter in series with J3.
  •  The 1.8V power supply is converted from the 3.3V power supply through the LDO on the demo board. You can measure the current of VDDIO by connecting an ammeter in series with J2.
  •  VDDIO for AW-HM610 can be set to 1.8V or 3.3V through J8
  • Short J8 pin.2 and pin.1 to set VDDIO to 3.3V (default)
  • Short J8 pin.2 and pin.3 to set VDDIO to 1.8V

USB to UART (J12 & J13) 

Set the UART port (UART0) of AW-HM610 by short-circuiting J12 and J13.
