1.17 SERCOM SPI EEPROM Read Write

This example application demonstrates how to use the SERCOM SPI peripheral to write and read from the SPI serial EEPROM memory.

Description

This example uses the SERCOM SPI peripheral library to write an array of values to the SPI Serial EEPROM and verify the value written by reading the values back and comparing it to the value written.

Project Name	Description
sam_ha1_xpro.X	SAM HA1G16A Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit

Setting Up SAM HA1G16A Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit

Connect a mikroBUS Xplained Pro board to the EXT1 header
Plug an EEPROM 4 Click board into the mikroBUS socket of the mikroBUS Xplained Pro board
Connect the Debug USB port on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable

Note: ATSAMHA1G16A device in SAM HA1G16A Xplained Pro board is not recommended for new design, hence replace the device with ATSAMHA1G16AB device. Connect the supported external debugger to Cortex Debug Port.

Running the Application

Build and Program the application project using its IDE
LED indicates the success or failure:
- LED is turned ON when the value read from the EEPROM matched with the written value
- LED is turned OFF when the value read from the EEPROM did not match with the written value

Following table provides the LED name:
