Description
The gen4-MOTG-AC4 Interface Board allows easy interface of up to two MOTG modules to DIABLO-16-based gen4 display modules. The board carries two UMI-compatible MOTG slots which act as an extension to the display module providing a plug-and-play interface with MOTG.
The interface board is designed to stick flush to the back of the DIABLO-16 4.3" display modules enabling sleek and compact designs. It also features a 30-pin ZIF socket, for easy connection to application boards for further functionality advancement.

Communication
Both slots of the gen4-MOTG-AC4 facilitate communication between the display module and the MOTG modules using UART, SPI or I2C communication protocol. Below are a few tips that might be useful when using two MOTG modules with the same communication protocol.
UART
TX (Pin3) and RX (Pin4) of the UMI enable UART communication. However, UART pins for both slots are connected to the same pins of the display modules as shown in the Pin Description section.
For all MOTG modules requiring UART communication, the hardware is designed to allow the UART pins to be connected to either TX, RX or GPIO1, GPIO2 of the UMI. This is could be achieved by shorting the respective sides of the solder bridges. Hence, one of the MOTGs could use the GPIO1 and GPIO2 pins, while the other could use the TX and RX pins, making serial communication with both MOTGs possible.
SPI
SCK (Pin12), MISO (Pin13) and MOSI (Pin14) of the UMI permit SPI communication. The SPI communication pins of both slots are connected to the SPI pins of the gen4 display module. The slave- or chip-select pins could then be used by the display module to communicate to a specific MOTG module.
Note
Due to limitations with GPIO pins PA12 and PA13 on DIABLO modules, these pins are used for I2C by the DIABLO modules themselves. This makes PA12 and PA13 not available to the SPI bus on MOTG, meaning all SPI MOTG modules are not compatible with DIABLO-16 based modules which feature external touch controllers.
This includes all DIABLO modules with Capacitive Touch (CTP) - All sizes, and Resistive Touch modules on 4.3" and above.
SPI MOTG modules are however compatible with Resistive Touch modules 2.4" to 3.5" as these do not feature an external RTP controller
Applies to gen4 2.4" to 3.5" with board revisions 1.2 and lower, and gen4 4.3" to 7.0" with board revisions 1.5 and lower.
I2C
SCL (Pin10) and SDA (Pin11) of the UMI are responsible for I2C communication. The I2C communication pins of both slots are connected to the I2C pins of the gen4 display module. The host could then select the desired MOTG module by using the correct slave address.
