==Other connectors==
* To connect devices thru I2C or SPI and use GPIO pins - see [[J7 connector|J7]], [[J9 connector|J9]] and [[J14 connector|J14]] connectors pages.
* For predefined buttons/GPIOs see [[J9 connector|J9 connector]] page (emulating Android OS buttons actions: HOME, BACK, MENU) and [[J14 connector|J14 connector]] page, for user defined GPIOs.
* For analog to digital convertor (ADC), see [[Kernel_changes_for_custom_hardware#Working_with_Analog-to-Digital_Converter_.28ADC.29| J16 connector]].
