Rework J202 connection by cutting off the connection of J202.5: connect J202.1 to left side of C202 and connect J202.2, J202.3, and J202.5 to GND. Rev 2 #2 Q301 is mounted in the wrong way. None. Rev 2 Follow this connection to make RS485 connection works: #3 USART CTS/RTS signals are not correctly routed to RS485 transceiver (U200).  PA06 (USART0_RTS),  PC08 (USART0_CTS),  PC02 (USART0_RXD),  PA07 (USART0_TXD) To do so:  Connect J100.2 to J103.3 with a wire,  Close J104.2 to J104.3,  Close J200,  Close J203,  Open the J600 and J601 Rev 2 In order to use Sensors Xplained board, plug J1 header of Sensors Xplained board on J4 header of SAM4L-EK. 20 #4 J4 and J5 connectors must be swapped in order to correctly follow Xplained Board Pinout. #5 Vbus monitor through PA06 cannot be used. None. All #6 Current consumption in Linear (LDO) mode is higher than in Switching(Buck) mode for all sleep modes The LDO/Buck selection jumper pulls down the PA02 pin which is internally pulled-up by the SAM4L demo software. This leads to additional 70µA consumption on the total chip current. To get the expected power numbers, remove the LDO/Buck selection jumper after powering up the board. Note: LDO/Buck selection is latched in the device at POR, resetting the device by other means (Button, WDT) won’t change the regulator mode.
