PIN	Label	Why Avoid	Type
IO3	GPIO3	Sampled at reset to select JTAG interface (USB Serial/JTAG controller vs. external pins). Improper use can disable external JTAG or alter debug interface.	🛠️ Strapping
IO19	USB_D-	By default connected to the on-chip USB Serial/JTAG controller. Using it as general GPIO without reconfiguring IO MUX will interfere with USB functionality.	🔌 USB
