For JTAG selection, the S5 footprint must never be soldered, else the chip can be damaged. Footprint Selector By default, the JTAGSEL input pin integrates a pull-down resistor (ICE mode). To select JTAG mode, the designer should connect the JTAGSEL input pin to VDDBU power. AT91SAM9261-EK Evaluation Board User Guide 6198C–ATARM–15-Dec-06...
