SAMV71 Xplained Ultra Software Package 1.5

Getting Started Example

Purpose

The Getting Started example will help new users get familiar with Atmel's SAMV7/E7 family of Microcontrollers. This basic application shows the startup sequence of a chip and how to use its core peripherals.

Requirements

This package can be used with SAMV71 Xplained Ultra board or SAME70 Xplained board.

Description

The demonstration program makes two LEDs on the board blink at a fixed rate. This rate is generated by using Time tick timer. The blinking can be stopped by typing '1' or '2' in the console (one for each LED).

Usage

  1. Build the program and download it inside the board. Please refer to the Getting Started with SAM V71/E70 Microcontrollers.pdf
  2. On the computer, open and configure a terminal application (e.g. HyperTerminal on Microsoft Windows) with these settings:
    • 115200 baud rate
    • 8 bits of data
    • No parity
    • 1 stop bit
    • No flow control
  3. Start the application.
  4. LED(s) should start blinking on the board. In the terminal window, the following text should appear (values depend on the board and chip used):
         -- Getting Started Example xxx --
         -- xxxxxx-xx
         -- Compiled: xxx xx xxxx xx:xx:xx --
    
  5. Press 'x' to start/stop the LEDx blinking
