Python or C acess to J6 and J51

Post by Priack »

Hi, I've been using a couple of bladeRF xA4 and xA9 and I have been able to configure the basics and made them work in tandem. Now, I was looking to expand the functionality of the board with some external devices.
In the libbladeRF API webpage, I've seen that it is possible to access to the ports from the connector labeled U74 https://www.nuand.com/libbladeRF-doc/v2 ... p_i_o.html
However, I would like to know if there is any way to access to the other pins in the board: J6 and J51 without having to resort to re-program the FPGA that requires HDL programming for which I have very limited knowledge. In particular the J6 seems to be configured to use the UART protocol according to this https://www.nuand.com/bladeRF-2.0-micro-REV1.3.pdf, which would be ideal for my purposes.
I've looked for this information, but the documentation seems quite scattered and couldn't find any definitive response.
Thank you in advance for your replies.

It appears that the bladeRF 2.0 micro board has additional pins labeled J6 and J51. The J6 pin is configured to use the UART protocolgeometry dash online, which aligns with your desired functionality.
