Connecting the PROTO1 Xplained Pro

The lower part of the PROTO1 Xplained Pro board can be connected to all Xplained Pro MCU evalutation kits
standard extension headers. If the upper break-off part, containing the additional power section, should be
used, it is required to connect the board to the EXT1 header in order to connect to the Power header as well
(see Figure 4-4, "Example Connection." on page 10). To break off the upper section of the board break it
along the V-CUT score line across the PCB.
Figure 4-4. Example Connection.
The connection indicated below (See Figure 4-5, "Not Recommended PROTO1 Xplained Pro
Connection." on page 10) may cause the power plug to short some of the EXT1 pins if it is connected
externally. To avoid this, either move the PROTO1 Xplained Pro to another extension connector or break away
the power section.
