Atmel SAMA5D4 Xplained Ultra Road Test -- Day 3

25 Feb 2015

I followed the link listed in my last post and decided to use the J20 EDBG-USB connector to "talk" to the board.  So I clicked on the link labeled

 

"Install USB drivers for Atmel and Segger tools"

 

and landed on the download page for the Atmel USB installer.  The page had a warning that a newer version of the download was available and a new link:

 

"A newer version of this product is available. Click here to see the details."

 

So, I clicked on the new link which brought up a nearly identical page only with a newer version number, 7.0.666.  I clicked on the download button, signed in to my Atmel account, and downloaded the driver installer "driver-atmel-bundle-7.0.666.exe".

 

After successfully installing this driver package, I downloaded putty to use as a terminal emulator.  The current download page for this utility is here: PuTTY Download Page.  I downloaded and installed "putty-0.63-installer.exe".

On my board at least the jumper JP1 was already opened, so I didn't have to do anything there although the instructions said to open it.

 

From there I plugged the provided USB cable into the EDBG-USB micro-A USB port on the board and plugged the opposite end into my PC (running Windows 7 Pro).  The board was enumerated as COM4 on my machine as I found by opening the device manager (from the control panel) and searching for the port labeled "EDBG Virtual COM Port".

After this was complete, I was able to open putty using the com port and the specified settings and bring up a terminal window:

Not seeing anything come up in the terminal window, I pressed reset on the board and viola!  The boot messages for the Linux system scrolled across the screen.  I've attached a text file with the boot messages for your reading enjoyment.  Note that I didn't have to download anything to the board to get to this point.  The Linux OS was preloaded on the board when I received it.
