1. Getting Started

1.1 Features

The ATSAMD10 Xplained Mini evaluation board provides a development platform for the Atmel ATSAMD10.

1.2 Design Documentation and Related Links

The most relevant documents and software for the evaluation board is available here:

http://www.atmel.com/tools/SAMD10-XMINI.aspx

1.3 Board Assembly

The Xplained Mini board is very flexible and can be used in a number of ways. E.g. as your own prototype for SW development and HW verification.

1.3.1 In Customer Development Assembly

The ATSAMD10 Xplained Mini board can be wired into the customer prototype assembly by using the on-board connector grid, where the target signals are available.

1.3.2 Connecting an Arduino Shield

By assembling receptacles in the marked positions (J200, J201, J202, and J203) Arduino® shields can be mounted.

1.3.3 Standalone Node

The ATSAMD10 Xplained Mini board can be used as a standalone node - use the 4xAAA or 2xAAA battery pack available in Atmel store to provide power.

1.4 Connecting the Kit

How to connect the evaluation board.

1.4.1 Connect the Kit to Atmel Studio

How to connect the ATSAMD10 Xplained Mini board to Atmel Studio.

1. Download and install Atmel Studio1 version 6.2 or later.

2. Launch Atmel Studio.

3. Connect the board to the USB port and it will be visible in Atmel Studio.

1.4.2 Connect the Target UART to the mEBDG COM Port

All Xplained Mini boards have an embedded debugger (mEBDG) with a number of features, among them a CDC/COM port which enables the user to connect the ATSAMD10 UART to the PC.

1. Connect the mEDBG USB to the PC.

2. Use the Device Manager to find the COM port number.

3. Default COM port settings are 9600baud N81. The COM port settings can be changed using the Device Manager.

1.5 Programming and Debugging
