  • Hi,

    I will take a look and reply in timely manner.

  • Hi Alekya,

    You have two options. JP1 bridges the isolation between the debugger side of the board and the MCU side of the board. If you wish use non-isolated power, then you can solder a wire vertically across the isolation barrier, one for power and one for ground. Then the board can be powered by USB connection.

    If you want to only use isolation, then even if the JP1 is broken you do not need to alter the board. You can plug in the USB cable to provide power to the debugger. Then power the MCU portion of the board using a separate power supply. Either 3.3V and keep only J17 connected and J16 disconnected. Or 5V input and keep J16 connected and J17 disconnected. The power can be supplied at any of the 3.3V or 5V locations on the boosterpack pins
