Power Up
Several power source options are available to power up the SAMA5D3 Xplained board.
The board can be:
USB-powered through the USB Micro-AB connector (J6 connector - default configuration)
Powered through an external AC-to-DC adapter connected via a 2.1 mm center-positive plug into the
optional power jack of the board. The recommended output voltage range of the power adapter is 5V at 2A.
Powered through the Arduino shield.

Power up the Board
Unpack the board, taking care to avoid electrostatic discharge. Simply connect the USB Micro-AB cable to the
connector (J6).Then, connect the other end of the cable to a free USB port of your PC.

WARNING
Unlike Arduino Uno boards, the SAMA5D3 Xplained board runs at 3.3V. The
maximum voltage that the I/O pins can tolerate is 3.3V. Providing higher voltages
(e.g. 5V) to an I/O pin could damage the board.
