Xplained Pro Xplained Pro is an evaluation platform that provides the full Atmel microcontroller experience. The platform consists of a series of Microcontroller (MCU) boards and extension boards which are integrated with Atmel Studio, have Atmel Software Framework (ASF) drivers and demo code, support data streaming, and more. Xplained Pro MCU boards support a wide range of Xplained Pro extension boards which are connected through a set of standardized headers and connectors. Each extension board has an identification (ID) chip to uniquely identify which boards are connected to an Xplained Pro MCU board. This information is used to present relevant user guides, application notes, datasheets, and example code through Atmel Studio. 3.1. Embedded Debugger The SAM C21 Xplained Pro contains the Atmel Embedded Debugger (EDBG) for on-board debugging. The EDBG is a composite USB device of three interfaces; a debugger, Virtual COM Port, and a Data Gateway Interface (DGI). Together with Atmel Studio, the EDBG debugger interface can program and debug the ATSAMC21J18A. On SAM C21 Xplained Pro, the SWD interface is connected between the EDBG and the ATSAMC21J18A. The Virtual COM Port is connected to a UART on the ATSAMC21J18A and provides an easy way to communicate with the target application through terminal software. It offers variable baud rate, parity, and stop bit settings. Note that the settings on the ATSAMC21J18A must match the settings given in the terminal software. Info: If not set automatically, data terminal ready (DTR) must be set in the terminal software. The DGI consists of several physical interfaces for communication with the host computer. Communication over the interfaces is bidirectional. It can be used to send events and values from the ATSAMC21J18A or as a generic printf-style data channel. Traffic over the interfaces can be timestamped on the EDBG for more accurate tracing of events. Note that timestamping imposes an overhead that reduces maximal throughput. Atmel Data Visualizer is used to send and receive data through DGI. The EDBG controls two LEDs on SAM C21 Xplained Pro; a power LED and a status LED. Table 3-1 EDBG LED Control on page 7 shows how the LEDs are controlled in different operation modes. Table 3-1 EDBG LED Control Operation mode Power LED Status LED Normal operation Power LED is lit when power is applied to the board. Activity indicator, LED flashes when any communication happens to the EDBG. Bootloader mode (idle) The power LED and the status LED blinks simultaneously. Bootloader mode (firmware upgrade) The power LED and the status LED blinks in an alternating pattern. For further documentation on the EDBG, see the EDBG User Guide. Atmel SAM C21 Xplained Pro [USER GUIDE] Atmel-42460C-SAM C21 Xplained Pro_User Guide-10/2015 7 3.2. Hardware Identification System ™ All Xplained Pro compatible extension boards have an Atmel ATSHA204 CryptoAuthentication chip mounted. This chip contains information that identifies the extension with its name and some extra data. When an Xplained Pro extension is connected to an Xplained Pro MCU board the information is read and sent to Atmel Studio.

Hardware Users Guide 4.1. Power Distribution SAM C21 Xplained Pro has two power sources as described in Power Sources on page 8. Figure 4-1 Power Supply Block Diagram on page 11 shows a block diagram of the power supply circuitry. The kit can be powered from the EDBG USB and an external 5.0V source. The kit will automatically select which source to draw power from. The EDBG controls an on-board power switch to the ATSAMC21J18A, the on-board peripherals, and extension connectors. When the kit is powered up, the EDBG reads the ID chip information from all connected Xplained Pro extension boards and checks that they are compatible with the voltage selected by the power selection jumper. If the selected voltage is within the connected extensions ranges the switch will open. If not, the EDBG power LED will blink rapidly and the switch will stay closed resulting in no power provided to the ATSAMC21J18A, on-board peripherals, and connectors. Caution: As the SAM C21 Xplained Pro can be powered by 5.0V care must be taken not to connect any Xplained Pro extensions that does not support this voltage, doing so may result in permanent damage. Check the respective extension kit's user guide to see which voltages are acceptable. Info: The EDBG only reads the ID information and controls the power switch when the kit is powered up. This mechanism does not check hot-plugging of extension boards.

Connecting a SAM-ICE to an Xplained Pro Board ™ Xplained Pro kits featuring a 10-pin 50mil debug connector can use external debug tools like SAM-ICE or Atmel-ICE instead of the built-in EDBG. Devices using SWD interface on-board will have a connector with the pinout compatible with the Cortex Debug Connector. You can connect the SAM-ICE to the debug connector on an Xplained Pro using either an Atmel-ICE adapter, SAM-ICE adapter, or a 10-pin 50-mil header to squid cable. When using a squid cable, see the table and figure below for how to connect the SAM-ICE to the Xplained Pro board.

Identifying Product ID and Revision The revision and product identifier of Xplained Pro boards can be found in two ways; either through Atmel Studio or by looking at the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB. By connecting an Xplained Pro MCU board to a computer with Atmel Studio running, an information window will pop up. The first six digits of the serial number, which is listed under kit details, contain the product identifier and revision. Information about connected Xplained Pro extension boards will also appear in the Atmel Kit's window. The same information can be found on the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB. Most kits will print the identifier and revision in plain text as A09-nnnn\rr, where nnnn is the identifier and rr is the revision. Boards with limited space have a sticker with only a QR-code, which contains a serial number string. The serial number string has the following format: "nnnnrrssssssssss" n = product identifier r = revision s = serial number The product identifier for SAM C21 Xplained Pro is A09-2419. 6.2. Revision 5 Revision 5 fixes all known issues outlined on rev. 2-3. The power supply system is divided in two with a separate 3.3V regulator for both EDBG, and for the Target section. The power supply block diagram for revision 2 and 3 is shown below. The power switch has been redesigned to avoid voltage leakage at power on. The DAC, LIN, and CAN connectors have been moved to ease mounting in production. The RESET level-shifter has been redesigned to avoid leakage when target power is switched off.

Revision 3 Revision 3 is almost identical to revision 2 with an additional quick fix for the 3.3V target supply problem. The fix is implemented by shorting Q102, pin 2 to GND as shown in the figure below. Also the QTouch pad is connected inside the PCB. Figure 6-5 Strap Fix Related Links The QTouch Button PAD is not Connected on page 42 Kit Does Not Work with 3.3V Target Voltage Selected on page 42 6.4. Revision 2 Revision 2 is the initial released revision. This revision has engineering samples mounted with part number ATSAMC21J18A-AUTES. 6.4.1. The QTouch Button PAD is not Connected On Revision 2 of the kit, the QTouch button PAD is not connected to the track inside the PCB. This will cause the QTouch function to work only on the VIA connection point. There is no workaround for this issue. This will be fixed in next revision of the PCB. 6.4.2. Kit Does Not Work with 3.3V Target Voltage Selected Revision 2 of the kit has a start-up problem when target voltage is set to 3.3V. When the EDBG opens the target voltage power switch from VCC_TARGET_SWITCH_P3V3_P5V0 to VCC_TARGET_P3V3_P5V0 a power surge is observed. This power surge causes the VCC_P3V3 nets voltage to decrease enough to trigger the EDBGs BOD, resulting in the EDBG entering a locked state where it can not be used. Fix/Workaround: Use the kit with 5.0V selected as the target voltage. Force the target voltage switch open by connecting Q102 pin 2 to GND. Important: Forcing the target voltage switch open will disable any protection for Xplained Pro extension modules connected to EXT1, EXT2, and EXT3. Make sure that connected extensions supports the selected target voltage.
