3.2 Plug in the Debugger

Configure the jumpers J3, J4, J6, J7 for standalone usage of the board.

Jumper Configuration Selection of
J3 1-2 (default) Source of the 12 V power supply
J4 2-4 Source of the 5 V power supply
J6 2-4 Source of the 1.5 V power supply
J7 2-4 Source of the 3.3 V power supply

The S32K396 BGA DC1 supports three different debuggers but just one can be used in the same time by configuring the jumpers J16, J17, J18 and J19. By default the board is configured to use an external debugger plug in into the connector J20.
