Setting Up SAM9X75 Curiosity Development Board

Additional hardware required:
  • SD Card with FAT32 file system
Setting up SD Card:
  • Download harmony MPU bootstrap loader from this location
  • Copy the downloaded boot loader binary( boot.bin) onto the SD card
Setting up the board:
  • SDMMC slot used for bootloading the application is SD BOOT (J14)
  • Connect the UART DEBUG J35 on board to the computer using a UART-FTDI cable (to enable debug com port)
  • Connect the USB port J2 on board to the computer using a micro USB cable (to power the board)

Running the Application

  1. Build the application using its IDE
  2. Copy the output binary (named ‘harmony.bin’) onto the SD Card (Refer to the ‘Setting up hardware’ section above for setting up the SD card)
  3. Insert the SD card into SDMMC slot on the board (Refer to the ‘Setting up hardware’ section for the correct SDMMC slot)
  4. Reset the board to run the application
  5. LED toggles indicating the board is up and running
  6. Press Switch A to shutdown the device (LED toggling stops)
  7. Press Switch B to wakeup the device
  8. Device resets (indicated by the LED starting to toggle again)
