4 Hardware and Software Requirements

The application demonstration needs two SAM D21 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kits and two SAM E70 Xplained Ultra Evaluation Kits. One kit will be Host/Transmitter, and the other kit will be Client/Receiver.

The following software and hardware tools are used for this application:

MPLAB® X IDE v6.20
MPLAB Code Configurator Plugin v5.5.1
MPLAB XC32 Compiler v4.45
csp v3.20.0
SAM D21 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit
SAM E70 Xplained Ultra Evaluation Kit

Figure 4-1. SAM D21 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit

The SAM D21 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit is equipped with a USB port, DEBUG USB. For debugging using the embedded debugger EDBG, the DEBUG USB port must be connected.

Figure 4-2. SAM E70 Xplained Ultra Evaluation Kit

The SAM E70 Xplained Ultra Evaluation Kit features two USB ports: DEBUG USB and TARGET USB. For debugging using the embedded debugger (EDBG), the DEBUG USB port must be connected.

If the driver installation is proper, the EDBG will be listed in the Device manager as shown in the following figure.

Note: The latest versions of the above listed tools can also be used to create the application.
