● Connect a Micro-B cable to the DEBUG USB port Connecting the Kit When connecting Atmel SAM W25 Xplained Pro to your computer for the first time, the operating system will ® ® do a driver software installation. The driver file supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 7.
Interface (DGI). In conjunction with Atmel Studio, the EDBG debugger interface can program and debug the ATSAMW25H18- MR510PB. On the SAM W25 Xplained Pro, the SWD interface is connected between the EDBG and the ATSAMW25H18-MR510PB. The Virtual COM Port is connected to a UART port on the ATSAMW25H18-MR510PB (see section “Embedded...
Power Supply The SAM W25 Xplained Pro kit can be powered either by USB or by an external power source through the 4- pin power header, marked PWR. This connector is described in “Xplained Pro Power Header” on page The available power sources and specifications are listed in Table 3-3, “Power Sources for SAM W25 Xplained...
Xplained Pro Power Header The power header can be used to connect external power to the SAM W25 Xplained Pro kit. The kit will automatically detect and switch to the external power if supplied. The power header can also be used as supply for external peripherals or extension boards.

If the board is powered from a battery source it is recommended to use the PWR connector. If there is a power source connected to EDBG USB, the EDBG is activated and it will consume more power. Atmel SAM W25 Xplained Pro [USER GUIDE] 42463A-MCU-06/2015...
Crystal The SAM W25 Xplained Pro kit contains two crystals; One is used as clock source for the SAM W25 device and the second one is used as clock for EDBG. The crystal connected with SAM W25 has a cut-strap next to it that can be used to measure the oscillator safety factor.
RESET PB23 4.2.3 There is one yellow LED available on the SAM W25 Xplained Pro board that can be turned on and off. The LED can be activated by driving the connected I/O line to GND. Table 4-4. LED Connections...
Atmel Data Gateway Interface The Embedded Debugger features an Atmel Data Gateway Interface (DGI) by using either a SPI or I²C port. The DGI can be used to send a variety of data from the SAM W25 to the host PC. For further information on how to use the DGI interface see “Embedded Debugger”...
Hardware Revision History and Known Issues Identifying Product ID and Revision The revision and product identifier of Xplained Pro boards can be found in two ways; through Atmel Studio or by looking at the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB.
