19This shield can only be used with a development board that provides a
20configuration for Arduino connectors and defines a node alias for the
21SPI interface (see :ref:`shields` for more details).
22
23The SPI connector pins on the DAC80508 EVM can be connected to the
24Arduino headers of the development board using jumper wires.
25In addition, 5V must be connected to the DAC80508 EVM's TP6(VDD).
