Mechanical buttons

The SAM4L8 Xplained Pro contains two mechanical buttons. One button is the RESET button connected to the
SAM4L8 reset line and the other is a generic user configurable button. When a button is pressed it will drive the
I/O line to GND.

LED

There is one yellow LED available on the SAM4L8 Xplained Pro board that can be turned on and off. The LED
can be activated by driving the connected I/O line to GND.

Embedded Debugger implementation

The SAM4L8 Xplained Pro contains an Embedded Debugger (EDBG) that can be used to program and debug
the ATSAM4LC8CA 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 SAM4L8 GPIOs. Atmel Studio can be used as a front end for the Embedded Debugger.

Serial Wire Debug

The Serial Wire Debug (SWD) use two pins to communicate with the target. For further information on how to
use the programming and debugging capabilities of the EDBG, see
Table 4-11. SWD connections.

Virtual COM port

The Embedded Debugger act as a Virtual Com Port gateway by using one of the ATSAM4LC8CA UARTs. For
further information on how to use the Virtual COM port see
