   Be aware that WiringPi pin numbers are only useful if you want to use that   
   library (or similar which use the same mapping).  The real BCM pin numbers   
   are likely more useful.   
      
   I normally go by:   
   https://pinout.xyz/   
   which gives all the optional features if you click on a pin.  It also shows   
   the differences between boards (eg pin 13 is different on Pi 1 rev 1).   
      
   It seems the 400 is identical to the 4, since it's the same SoC in a   
   different case.

   WiringPi pin numbers and Broadcom pin numbers probably.

   Pin 3:   
      
   "GPIO 2 (I2C Data)   
   Alt0	Alt1	Alt2	Alt3	Alt4	Alt5   
   I2C1 SDA	SMI SA3	DPI VSYNC	AVEOUT VSYNC	AVEIN VSYNC	   
      
       Physical/Board pin 3   
       GPIO/BCM pin 2   
       Wiring Pi pin 8   
       GPIO/BCM pin 0 on Rev 1 ( very early ) Pi   
      
   SDA (I2C1 Data) is one of the i2c pins on the Pi, learn more about i2c.   
      
   SDA includes a fixed, 1.8 kΩ pull-up to 3.3v, which means this pin is not   
   suitable for use as a general purpose IO where no pull-up resistor is   
   desired."   
   https://pinout.xyz/pinout/pin3_gpio2/   
      
   Pis 0-4 (inc 400) don't have SWD debug, they have JTAG (pins 13, 15, 16,   
   18).  I think you need something in config.txt to enable ARM-side JTAG.   
      
   (the Pi 5 does use SWD, on a separate header).   
      
   > On the Pi4, pin 3 is GPIO2. It seems like the pins are renamed on the   
   > Pi 400, where pin 3 is GPIO8. Why would they do that?   
      
   That's the WiringPi confusion.   
      
   (I think in the early Pi 1 days the pin numbering - like other parts of the   
   hardware design - was quite confused, and WiringPi came up with their   
   numbers to make sense of it.  I think they're mostly just an additional   
   headache now)
