Pin compatible with our AVR Dx/Ex family, 5V capable, and carrying over the peripherals you already know- MVIO, CCL, EVSYS- it's built so you don't have to redesign your power architecture or relearn your peripheral toolkit to get 32-bit performance. Let's break down what's new and what carries over. The AVR Migration Story If you're running AVR Dx/Ex today, with a little effort, PIC32CMPL10 will allow your existing board layout to achieve migration. 5V logic has better noise margins than 3.3V. In industrial environments with motors, relays, or long cable runs, that extra headroom means fewer spurious glitches and more robust signal integrity. Lots of existing industrial and appliance designs run on 5V buses, sensors, and actuators. If your MCU is 3.3V-only, you're adding level shifters everywhere, which means more BOM cost, more board space, and more failure points. Moving to most 32-bit parts means redesigning around 3.3V. The PL10 removes that barrier. You get 32-bit performance without touching your power architecture. The peripherals you already know carry straight over: MVIO for mixed-voltage I/O, CCL (Configurable Custom Logic) for hardware glue logic, and EVSYS (Event System) for peripheral-to-peripheral signaling without CPU involvement. The learning curve is about what's new, not relearning what you already have. On-Chip Capacitive Touch- No External Controller Needed The integrated Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC) handles buttons, sliders, wheels, and multi-element touch layouts directly on the MCU - up to 29 channels, no external touch IC, nothing extra on the BOM. For real-world reliability we built in Driven Shield+ , which actively drives adjacent electrodes to stabilize the touch signal under moisture or electrical noise.. Touch surfaces are configured through our touch library - you're defining behavior, not hand-tuning acquisition registers. Peripheral-Driven Power Architecture Two features here that work together really well: Event System - peripherals trigger each other in hardware, no CPU involved. A timer can kick off a periodic ADC conversion with zero firmware overhead. Fully deterministic. Sleepwalking - the PTC and ADC stay active while the core is in standby, only waking the CPU when a threshold is crossed or a touch is detected. Routine sensing never has to involve the processor at all. The result: low average current even in applications that need to stay responsive Wide Voltage Range + MVIO The PL10 runs from 1.8V to 5.5V , and Multi-Voltage I/O (MVIO) lets one I/O bank run at a different voltage from the core. Interface with 5V legacy peripherals or 1.8V sensors without adding level shifters. Useful in mixed-voltage systems where you'd otherwise be adding components just to bridge rails. The 12-bit ADC (up to 800 ksps) also includes a built-in low-pass filter and internal techniques for cleaner, more consistent measurements- feeding both touch acquisition and general-purpose analog sensing. Familiar Peripherals, Modern Dev Environment Alongside the touch and power features, you get SERCOM interfaces, timers, and configurable logic- the usual suspects. Existing design patterns carry over without surprises. Development is supported in MPLAB X IDE and VS Code with MPLAB extensions . Code examples and app notes are available through MPLAB Discover.

Sorry for the delay, I got no notification at all. Normally I wouldn't be too worried about it as I'm not much into "ROMless". But I bought the SAMA5D4 xplained really cheap during Ele 14's "firesale" and wanted to do something funky with it.... But I agree, it might be too ambitous in setting up resources.... :-) Sill would be fun to be tenacious for a change :-) Thanks!https://community.element14.com/products/manufacturers/microchip/f/forum/54560/bare-metal-c-on-sama5d4-xplained-ultra-with-jlink-which-ide/221018Wed, 24 Apr 2024 20:19:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:6f6d71a2-6e0d-44cb-a85e-82a4f87ce719shabazFrom what I can tell, it's an applications processor, so it's unusual to run applications bare metal. That being said, you could write bare metal for it, and build with GCC, either cross-compiled (a bit awkward to set up initially, but there will be guides on it, just not specifically for that processor), or even natively, i.e. compile on itself, which is often the far easier approach at least for quick experiments. Developers would normally use tools like Visual Studio Code (VS Code), and that can kick off the build process (may take some configuration), or the build can be done from the command line. I would say, when it comes to bare metal coding, it may well be quite an uphill task to set up the processor (quite detailed examination of the datasheet would be needed, to study what registers initially need to be configured, which of course usually isn't needed, since that would be part of the boot process for the OS, if it were not a bare-metal project).https://community.element14.com/products/manufacturers/microchip/f/forum/54560/bare-metal-c-on-sama5d4-xplained-ultra-with-jlink-which-ideWed, 24 Apr 2024 03:22:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:282e5e33-09bd-49b1-a11e-ae8d5bd38f89MicrobitAfter running Linux on my SAMA5D4 Xplained Ultra board, I thought I'd put the JTAG to use and explore writing and debugging bare metal C on it. Ok, repgramming the EDBG for Jlink OB was easy..., using a fav IDE seems major headache : - uVision 5 appears to not supprt SAMA5 (then again, it's poor SW anyway) - Microchip "Studio" has no supprt either? What? - Segger Embedded Studio (my fav CrossWorks spawn) talks with the Jlink EDBG fine but gives insane cryptic errors when I try to build a Cortex A5 target, this is nuts. Further, SEB doesn't seem to properly support SAMA5 either? Is there a more sane way to do this?
