Atmel SAM4L Xplained Pro
Preface
The Atmel® SAM4L Xplained Pro evaluation kit is hardware platform to evaluate
the ATSAM4LC4C microcontroller.
Supported by the Atmel Studio integrated development platform, the kit provides
easy access to the features of the Atmel ATSAM4LC4C and explains how to in-
tegrate the device in a customer design.
The Xplained Pro MCU series evaluation kits include an on-board Embed-
ded Debugger, and no external tools are necessary to program or debug the
ATSAM4LC4C.
The Xplained Pro extension series evaluation kits offers additional peripherals to
extend the features of the board and ease the development of customer designs.

Each crystal has a cut-strap next to it that can be used to measure the oscillator safety factor. This is done by cutting the strap and adding a resistor across the strap. More information about oscillator allowance and safety factor can be found in appnote AVR4100 http://www.atmel.com/images/doc8333.pdf Atmel SAM4L Xplained Pro [USER GUIDE] 42074A-MCU-02/13... -

ATSAM4LC4C using Serial Wire Debug (SWD). The Embedded debugger also include a Virtual Com port interface over UART, an Atmel Data Gateway Interface over synchronous UART and TWI and it monitors four of the SAM4L GPIOs. Atmel Studio can be used as a front end for the Embedded Debugger. -
Page 16: Atmel Data Gateway Interface
Atmel Data Gateway Interface The Embedded Debugger features an Atmel Data Gateway Interface (DGI) by using either a synchronous USART or TWI port. The DGI can be used to send a variety of data from the SAM4L to the host PC. For further information on how to use the DGI interface see “Embedded Debugger”... -
