    Hi,
    We made our own add-on board for Voxl2. Now we want to add a switch, similar to SW2 on the Voxl2, to unbrick the board if needed.
    I have seen that we can do it through pin 56 of connector J3. My questions:

    • list itemis this pin high active or low active?

    • list itemAre there resistors needed (like pull-up, pull-down, or in serie)?

    • list itemIf it is high-active, should I use pin 47 of J3?

    Thanks

      Hi @gerhold-ten-voorde
      Yes, you are correct. Pin 56 is the signal "FORCE_USB_BOOT". It is default weakly pulled down by the SoC.
      To enter eDL/QDL mode, this switch connects a 2-2.2K pullup to VREG_S4A_1P8 (J3 pin 47).
      So, on M0154, the default OPEN/OFF position does noting, when ON it enables the pullup.
      Hope that helps.
      Thanks!
