3 ATA8350 Demo Kit – Software Application
The Demo and Evaluation Kit variant A uses ATSAMC21-XPRO boards with an embedded debugger and a USB COM port. This USB COM port is used in software applications to stream measurement data and for laboratory testing purposes together with a PC terminal application software.
The demo kit variant B uses an ATSAMC21-XPRO board with an embedded debugger and USB COM port and the ATAUWB-EK1 board with SAMC21 MCU and CAN/LIN connectivity. It is supplied either by 12V or by 5V using the USB port. This board is intended for testing in car environments.
The demo software application uses a layer architecture for easy porting between different MCUs. The adaptation to a specific MCU is supported with different Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) functions, specific for the MCU and its peripherals. For more details, refer to the Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR-UWB) Transceiver User´s Guide (DS50003127A).
