6.5.3 Programming USB Port
This port allows the board to be programmed and powered via a USB connection to a computer. It facilitates serial
communication between the Arduino Due and the computer, enabling the uploading of sketches and interaction
with the Arduino IDE. The port is connected to the ATmega16U2 microcontroller, which acts as a USB-to-serial
converter, simplifying the programming process. When connected to a computer, the Arduino IDE recognizes the
board as a COM port, enabling seamless communication for programming and debugging purposes.
