5.2.3.1 Disabling J-Link-OB-ATSAM3U4C
Jumper JP15 disables the J-Link-OB-ATSAM3U4C JTAG functionality. When the jumper is installed, it grounds Pin 25 of
the ATSAM3U4C that is normally pulled high. This signals to the microcontroller it must not provide JTAG support.
Jumper JP15 not installed: J-Link-OB-ATSAM3U4C is enabled and fully functional
Jumper JP15 installed: JTAG functionality is disabled
Jumper J15 disables only J-Link functionality. The debug serial port (DBGU) that is emulated through a communication
device class (CDC) of the same USB connector remains operational.
The built-in JTAG controller does not have to be explicitly disabled to use an external JTAG controller through the 20-pin
JTAG port. The internal J-Link-OB connects to a target only after it receives a first command; otherwise, it remains
disabled.
5.2.3.2 Hardware UART via CDC
In addition to J-Link-OB functionality, the ATSAM3U4C microcontroller LAO provides a bridge to a debug serial port
(DBGU) of the processor on a CM board. The port is made accessible over the same USB connection used by JTAG by
implementing communication device class (CDC), which allows terminal communication with the target device.
This feature is enabled only if the microcontroller Pin 24 is not grounded. The pin is normally pulled high and controlled
by jumper JP16.
Jumper JP16 not installed: the device is enabled
Jumper JP16 installed: the CDC device is disabled
5.2.4 USART
The USART1 is used as a user serial communication port. This USART provides an RS-232 interface with transceiver
TXD, RXD lines and hardware flow control CTS/RTS lines. The device uses a DB-9 male connector. The software must
drive the appropriate PIO pins to enable the USART function.
