Hardware and Driver Installation (Automatic):

5.1. Connect a micro USB cable from PC to the micro USB port (USB for programming).

Figure.6 Hardware Setup

5.2. Next, EDBG Virtual COM port driver installation will begin automatically

Figure.7 EDBG Virtual COM PORT Driver installation

5.3. Click the taskbar notification. When the driver installation is successfully completed, there will be a

notificaion as shown below.

Programming the hex file in SAMR30-XPRO (If required):

Board was already programmed with certification software/performance analyzer. In case if required to flash the
program file, follow the below steps.

If programming the SAMR30-Xpro board for the first time, follow the section 7(SAMR30 part pack installation) before
start programming.

6.1. Connect the SAMR30 XPRO board to the PC via EDBG micro USB connector.

* PC should have the Atmel Studio 7 installed in it

6.2. In Atmel studio,select Tools Device Programming

6.3. In Device Programming dialog box, select the edbg serial number and ensure the Device is “ATSAMR30G18A”

and select ‘SWD’ as Interface. Then click “Apply”

9

In case if you noticed that the Device “ATSAMR30G18A” is unsupported,see the section 7 to overcome the error.

6.4. Once connected to the board,the device programming window will look like as follows

6.5. Read the Device signature and Target Voltage and ensure it is as follows

Device Programming: 0x1081021E

10

Target Volatge: 3.3V

6.6. Once ensured the device signature and Target Voltage, Click on Memories and then click “Erase now” to erase
the already existing program in the chip.

Then browse the hex file which you would like to program into the device and click Program.

6.7. Flashing the hex file in the SAMR30-XPRO board completed.
