8.2 System I/O Lines

System I/O lines are pins used by oscillators, Test mode, reset, JTAG and other features. The following table lists the SAM E70/S70/V70/V71 system I/O lines shared with PIO lines.

These pins are software-configurable as general-purpose I/Os or system pins. At startup, the default function of these pins is always used.

Note:
  1. If the PB12 pin is used as PIO input in user applications, a low level must be ensured at start up to prevent Flash erase before the user application sets the PB12 pin into PIO mode.
  2. Refer to Slow Clock Generator.
  3. Refer to Main Crystal Oscillator.
  4. If not used then the corresponding PIO pin must be setup as an output and attached to a dedicated trace on the board to reduce current consumption.
