About

A reverse-engineering reference for the Pocket Operator hardware. It identifies the main parts (the EFM32 Cortex-M3 microcontroller, the Cirrus Logic codec, the LCD, LEDs, switches, pots and jacks), maps their locations on the board, and documents the exposed test pads on the back. It's the starting point for anyone planning a hardware mod, such as tapping power for a screen light.
