Jumper footprints are available on board to measure power consumption on main power lines. By default, the jumpers are not implemented. They are short-circuited by a thin PCB wire. To use this functionality, open the short circuit and mount a 2-pin jumper. SAMA5D3 Xplained [USER GUIDE] Atmel-11269D-ATARM-SAMA5D3-Xplained-XPLD-User Guide_07-Sep-15 Arrow.com. Arrow.com.

To date, there is no impact because no LCD screen available on the market uses the SPI bus on this connector, in particular the PDA Inc. TM430x and TM700x product series recommended by Atmel. A potential problem exists only if the future "Xplained Pro" series LCD extensions are used because these extensions could require the SPI bus on this LCD connector.
