SAMA5D2 Xplained Software nightmare.

2 Oct 2017

So, today I started getting things going further after planning out my route of attack on the SAMA5D2.

So right now its almost 1am and I am now installing a virtual machine because windows 10 so far and linux have been a headache to get things to co-operate correctly.

 

Now I will install a few other operating systems in the morning because would like to find out further if its os related or software itself acting up.  Have managed to get it connected to the computer tho but no access it yet since either one half or the other half of the software works or wrong versions only work which don't support the board.

 

Currious if anyone else has had a rough time with the SAMA series in the past or not.

 

And yes I spend a good 8hrs messing with software trying to get it to connect properly but windows 10 and Linux just didn't like me tonight.

    I did quite a few blog posts on the SAMA5D3 while I was roadtesting it a few years ago, here's a post I created on how to connect to it from a host computer using Ubuntu, though it should be replicable…

    I will say through the process I have tried a bunch of software now that I didn't before and found some of it was compatible with other boards I have so quite happy about that but still the SAMA nightmare continues.

    I did quite a few blog posts on the SAMA5D3 while I was roadtesting it a few years ago, here's a post I created on how to connect to it from a host computer using Ubuntu, though it should be replicable with most other version of linux:

    You can find a lot of my other blog posts for that board here:

    The Xplained series of boards are quite decent devices once you actually get into them, I think I scored it relatively low on the roadtest mainly because of how difficult they are to get into actually using them and the lack of straightforward documentation.

    If you look through previous Roadtests of Atmel SAM Xplained boards, you will find all sorts of problems, lack of documentation, and other assorted nightmares.  Good luck!
