2.3.2 Connection Procedure

Follow these steps:

  1. Plug the FTDI (USB-RTL) cable from your PC into the target SAM device’s DBGU port.
  2. Connect a 5V power supply to the board.
  3. Perform a power-on reset.
  4. Ensure that the serial COM port is detected on the host machine in the Device Manager.
    • On a Windows® host, check the Device Manager for the COM port.

    • On Linux®, use ls /dev/tty* to locate the device (for example, /dev/ttyUSB0).
