4.2.1 Xplained Pro Standard Extension Headers

The SAM L22 Xplained Pro headers EXT1, EXT2, and EXT3 offer access to the I/O of the microcontroller in order to expand the board, e.g. by connecting extensions to the board. These headers are based on the standard extension header specified in the table below. The headers have a pitch of 2.54mm.
