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 SAM4E 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 ATSAM4E16E. On SAM4E Xplained Pro, the SWD interface is connected between the EDBG and the ATSAM4E16E. The Virtual COM Port is connected to a UART on the ATSAM4E16E 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 ATSAM4E16E 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 ATSAM4E16E 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 SAM4E 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 SAM4E Xplained Pro [USER GUIDE] Atmel-42216C-SAM4E-Xplained-Pro_User Guide-09/2015 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. The Atmel Kits extension, installed with Atmel Studio, will give relevant information, code examples, and links to relevant documents.

Chip Erase Header There is a 1x2 pin-header that is connected to the SAM4E chip erase pin (PB12) and 3V3 marked ERASE as shown in Figure 1-1 SAM4E Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit Overview on page 5. This header can be used to chip erase the SAM4E by placing a jumper on the header and toggle the power to the board. After the power is toggled the jumper should be removed. Using the chip erase jumper is the only way to erase a chip with the security bit set, an application that immediately sets invalid clock options or goes into deep sleep without any wake-up sources. 4.1.4. Current Measurement Header An angled 1x2, 100mil pin-header marked with MCU current measurement is located at the upper edge of the SAM4E Xplained Pro. All power to the ATSAM4E16E is routed through this header. To measure the power consumption of the device remove the jumper and replace it with an ammeter. Caution: Removing the jumper from the pin-header while the kit is powered may cause the ATSAM4E16E to be powered through its I/O pins. This may cause permanent damage to the device. 4.1.5. Other Headers In addition to the Xplained Pro standard connectors, SAM4E Xplained Pro has one header with spare signals that offers access to the I/O of the microcontroller which are otherwise not easily available elsewhere or might be favourable to have collected toghether. The headers has a pitch of 2.54mm.

Hardware Revision History and Known Issues 6.1. 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 SAM4E Xplained Pro is A09-2081. 6.2. Revision 3 Revision 3 is the initially released revision. 6.2.1. 12MHz Crystal The calculation, selection, and verification of the external load capacitors C317 and C318 for the onboard 12MHz crystal was done wrong in design phase of the SAM4E Xplained Pro evaluation kit. The capacitors mounted on the board are 6.8pF, while they should have been 18pF. The difference in capacitance will cause the frequency generated by the crystal to be ~500Hz (~44ppm) too high. Fix/Workaround: Replace C317 and C318 with 18pF capacitors. Load capacitance calculation Ccrystal = 20pF (crystal datasheet), CL = 9.5pF (SAM4E datasheet), CPCB = 2.0pF (estimate) C = 2 x ( Ccrystal - CL - CPCB ) C = 2 x ( 20pF - 9.5pF - 2.0pF ) C = 17pF Design selection: C = 18pF Atmel SAM4E Xplained Pro [USER GUIDE] Atmel-42216C-SAM4E-Xplained-Pro_User Guide-09/2015 26 The selected 12MHz crystal FQ5032B-12-C-C-C-200-1 has a load of 20pF, this is outside the recommended range of 12.5pF to 17.5pF in the ATSAM4E16E datasheet. Using a crystal with loads outside the recommended range can cause instability when operating the device close to maximum/ minimum parameters for supply voltage and temperature. Fix/Workaround: None, any new design should select a crystal within the limits specified in the datasheet.
