23 Tracing the Calypso voice output signal, starting from Calypso ball P14 (VDX).
24 On L1 it goes to a via at (3401,429). On L2 it branches: one end goes to
25 (3366,304) - suspected via back to L1 for a test point, and the other end goes
26 to (2885,917) - also a suspected via back to L1. Found the 1st branch on L1:
27 it's a short trace to another via at (3291,304). Found the 2nd branch on L1
28 too: it goes to Iota ball F5 (VDR), matching the Leonardo schematics.

30 Now let's trace the branch that went to (3291,304) on L1. On L2 it goes to a
31 short trace that goes to (3349,197) - suspected micro-via back to L1. Looking
32 on L1: yes, indeed the trace seems to lead back here, but then the edge
33 grind-down damage gets in the way. Looking at the L1 populated photo, the
34 trace definitely seems to go to an exposed test point.

36 The apparent lack of a switch or MUX on the Iota digital voice input strongly
37 suggests that in Wi-Fi VoIP operation the Calypso DSP acts as a forwarder for
38 the digital voice samples, which are being fed to it from the VoIP chip via
39 another interface: MCSI, or perhaps the otherwise unused MODEM UART switched
40 over to DSP ownership.
