The Atmel microcontroller running SAM-BA will be displayed as an "unknown device". In the window that opens, click "Device Manager". Click Properties on the menu that pops up. Open Device ManagerĬlick the Windows Start button and then right-click Computer. Plug the Microcontroller Board into the PCĪfter plugging in the microcontroller (and powering it if externally powered), Windows will try to install a driver.Īutomatic driver installation will fail. or whatever save item your browser uses) Installing the Driver 1.

It can also be downloaded here:Ītm6124_cdc.inf – Atmel Windows USB CDC driver The driver will be copied to the PC if the SAM-BA PC software is installed. When the Atmel ARM based board is plugged into a PC USB port, the driver makes the Atmel USB microcontroller configure as a USB CDC port that will appear as a COM port in Windows.
#ATMEL ICE DRIVER HOW TO#
This article shows how to install the driver in Windows 7 that the SAM-BA PC software uses. Microcontrollers that have a USB port and SAM-BA running can then be connected to a PC and programmed via a USB cable using the Microchip SAM-BA PC application. Once the SAM-BA boot software is loaded to Flash memory, the microcontroller will then run the SAM-BA software when powered up. AT91SAM7S256) ĪTSAM3U microcontrollers use the ERASE pin to load SAM-BA (e.g. Examples: AT91SAM7S uses the TST (TEST) pin to load SAM-BA (e.g.
