User Interaction and Debugging
The SAMA7G54-EK includes two main debugging interfaces to provide debug-level access to the SAMA7G5 device:
• Two UART interfaces, one connected directly to the MPU using connector J20 and one through the USB/J-Link-
OB CDC feature on USB port J24
• Two JTAG interfaces, one connected directly to the MPU using connector J27 and one through the J-Link-OB
interface USB port J24

Serial Debug COM Port
The SAMA7G54-EK board features a dedicated serial port for debugging, accessible through header J20. Various
interfaces can be used as a USB/serial DBGU port bridge, such as the FTDI TTL-232R USB-to-TTL serial cable.

Note:
The use of a 6-pin header FTDI cable is necessary to supply U23 with 5V in order to polarize the pull-
up resistors R234 and R235. If a 3-wire FTDI cable is used, a shortcut between VBUS_FTDI and VDD_3V3 is
necessary.

Debug JTAG
A 20-pin JTAG header (J27) is provided on the SAMA7G54-EK board to facilitate software development and
debugging using various JTAG emulators. The interface signals have a voltage level of 3.3V.
