, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2012. Once the Xplained Pro MCU board is powered the green power LED will be lit and Atmel Studio will auto detect which Xplained Pro MCU- and extension board(s) are connected. Atmel Studio will present relevant information like datasheets and kit documentation.

Xplained Pro Power Header The power header can be used to connect external power to the SAM G55 Xplained Pro kit. The kit will automatically detect and switch to any external power if supplied. The power header can also be used as supply for external peripherals or extension boards.
Xplained Pro Standard Extension Headers The SAM G55 Xplained Pro headers EXT1, EXT3, and EXT4 offer access to the I/O of the microcontroller in order to expand the board by connecting extensions to the board. All these headers comply with the Xplained Pro standard extension header specification.

Cortex Debug Connector. You can connect the SAM-ICE to the debug connector on an Xplained Pro using either an Atmel-ICE adapter, SAM-ICE adapter, or a 10-pin 50-mil header to squid cable. When using a squid cable, see the table and figures below for how to connect the SAM-ICE to the Xplained Pro board.

USB. Physically removing the connection between the EDBG and the debug header by removing 0Ω resistors, where available, or cutting the tracks to the EDBG can also be done. Atmel SAM G55 Xplained Pro [USER GUIDE] Atmel-42389B-SAM-G55-Xplained-Pro_User Guide-04/2016...
6.1. Identifying Product ID and Revision The revision and product identifier of Xplained Pro boards can be found in two ways; either through Atmel Studio or by looking at the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB. By connecting an Xplained Pro MCU board to a computer with Atmel Studio running, an information window will pop up.
