3.1.8 Project Setup - ATA8510/15 MCC H3 Library Configuration

  1. Open the MPLAB Code Configurator from Tools>Embedded>MPLAB Code Configurator open/close
    Figure 3-14. Project Setup: MCC
  2. Add ATA851X from Device Resources>Libraries>Wireless>System Services>ATA851X as illustrated below.
    Figure 3-15. System Services
  3. Add SERCOM from Device Resources>Peripherals to interface ATA8510/15 with Host over SPI. User can select either SPI/SERCOM/PLIB/FLEXCOM based on the MCU host from Microchip.
  4. From the configuration options, select the pins used for Chip Select, NRESET and NPWRON1 as illustrated in the following figure
    Figure 3-16. ATA851X Configuration Options
  5. Add all auto-activated components based on the application needs. In this application,the FreeRTOS is not activated as this is a bare-metal project.

    Select the required services and configurations under respective services.

  6. SERCOM Information

    1. SERCOM0 is utilized for host and ATA8510/15 SPI command communications.

      Note: If the user is using different SERCOM than the one preconfigured in the system services, then user must make the necessary adjustments to the SERCOM settings and update the pin configuration accordingly.
