3.4.2.1 Disabling J-Link-OB

Jumper JP19 disables the J-Link-OB-ATSAM3U4C JTAG functionality. When the jumper is installed, it grounds pin PA26 of the SAM3U4C that is normally pulled high. A quad analog switch (U31) is used to select the JTAG interface.

  • Jumper JP19 not installed: J-Link-OB-ATSAM3U4C is enabled and fully functional.
  • Jumper JP19 installed: J-Link-OB-ATSAM3U4C is disabled and an external JTAG controller can be used through the 10-pin JTAG port J18

Jumper JP19 disables only the J-Link functionality. The debug serial com port that is emulated through a Communication Device Class (CDC) of the same USB connector remains operational (if JP20 is open).
