4.1.1 Xplained Pro Standard Extension Headers

The SAM4L8 Xplained Pro headers EXT1, EXT2, EXT3, and EXT4 offers access to the I/O of the microcontroller in order to expand the board e.g. by connecting extensions to the board. These headers all comply with the standard Xplained Pro extension header specification. All headers have a pitch of 2.54mm.
