3.1

Power up the Board

Unpack the board taking care to avoid electrostatic discharge. Unpack the power supply, select the right
power plug adapter corresponding to that of your country, and insert it in the power supply.
Connect the power supply DC connector to the board and plug the power supply to an AC power plug.
The board LCD should light up and display a welcome page. Then, click or touch icons displayed on the
screen and enjoy the demo.
3.2

DevStart

The on-board NAND Flash contains "SAM3S-EK DevStart".
It is stored in the "SAM3S-EK DevStart" folder on the USB Flash disk available when the SAM3S-EK is
connected to a host computer and you click on the Flash Disk icon of the on-board demo.
Click the file "welcome.html" in this folder to launch SAM3S-EK DevStart.
SAM3S-EK DevStart guides you through installation processes of IAR™ EWARM, Keil MDK and GNU
toolkits. Then, it gives you step-by-step instructions on how to rebuild a single example project and how
to program it into the SAM3S-EK. Optionally, if you have a SAM-ICE™, instructions are also given about
how to debug the code.
We recommend that you backup the "SAM3S-EK DevStart" folder on your computer before launching it.
3.3

Recovery Procedure

The DevStart ends by giving step-by-step instructions on how to recover the SAM3S-EK to the state as it
was when shipped by Atmel.
Follow the instructions if you deleted the contents of the embedded Flash or the NAND Flash and want
to recover from this situation.
