This however will disable the JTAG interface until the connection is reestablished by,
for example soldering a bridge on the cut-strap.
4.2 I/O expansion headers
NOTE
The Atmel AVR XMEGA-A3BU Xplained headers J1, J2, J3, and J4 offer access to
the I/O of the microcontroller in order to expand the board, for example by mounting a
top module onto the board.
The header J1 offers digital communication interfaces like UART, TWI and SPI. Table
4-2 shows how the Atmel AVR XMEGA is connected to the header.
When using TWI please note that no pull-ups are mounted on the board from the
factory, so it is required to either enable the internal pull-ups of the device or to mount
the external pull-ups on the available footprints (R200 and R201). Please refer to the
assembly drawing in the design documentation for the location of these footprints.

The I/O connected to the expansion header J3 is shared with on-board features as
sensors and JTAG interface. Therefore care must be taken when J3 is used for
expansions. Table 4-4 shows the mapping of the XMEGA I/O to J3.
