    Table 3-4 below shows how MCU_VCC_SEL (MCU VCC Selection) and EXT_VCC_SEL (Extension VCC Selection) power headers can be used to select VCC source for SAMDA1J16A and EDBG MCUs. To select VS_LIN (12VDC) as the source of power for SAMDA1 Xplained Pro PCB connect pin1-2 on MCU_VCC_SEL header using a jumper.
