This section provides a brief description of the \tgtBoardName{}
board. For a more detailed information refer to \cite{\tgtBoardDoc}.
The kit is depicted in Figure~\ref{fig-board_photo}.

A block diagram in Figure~\ref{fig-blocks} ilustrates the supported
peripherals and their connection to the MCU, expansion connectors and
other components on the development kit. For pinout description of the
implemented peripherals refer to the \tgname{} HDK User's Guide
\cite{\tgtBoardDoc}. The main features of supported peripherals are
provided in the following subsections.
