All pins on the 3rd header of the Mega2560 only involve the ATmega2560 mcu chip or the ground GND, +5V, +3V3, and VIN nets:
Some pins of interest:
- The
:NC
just means "no connection" and does nothing. - The
:IOREF
pin is in fact just connected to the+5V
net. - The
:RESET
pin does eventually make it to the corresponding ATmega2560 pin, but it is part of a wider net involving also reset of the ATmega16u2, so it is mapped only to aRESET
net. - Four of the digital I/O pins also act as JTAG test pins: TDI (Test Data In); TDO (Test Data Out); TCK (Test Clock); 4. TMS (Test Mode Select).
