3.1 Hardware Tools

There are multiple hardware tools that can help in developing with the TA100. Check the Microchip website for the availability of additional tools that are not mentioned here.

DM320118 – CryptoAuthentication™ Trust Platform

The DM320118 is a compact development system consisting of an ATSAMD21E18A microcontroller, one each of the ATECC608B-TNGTLS, ATECC608B-TFLXTLS and ATECC608B-TCSTM Trust devices, a USB Hub, a mikroBUS™ connector and an on-board debugger. The kit is intended for use with the Trust Platform Design Suite of tools used to implement various use cases for the TA100 device. The kit can be used with either MPLAB^® X or Microchip Studio Design environments to develop additional applications. To connect the TA100 to this kit, a mikroBUS compatible socket board is required.

AC164167 – TA100 8-Pin SOIC Socket Board

The AC164167 TA100 SOIC socket board supports both the I²C and the SPI interface versions of the TA100. The board can be configured for one or the other I/O interface through use of the on-board jumpers. The socket board does not come with prototype devices, which will need to be acquired separately.

EV39Y17A – TA100 24-Pin VQFN Socket Board

The EV39Y17A TA100 VQFN socket board supports both the I²C and the SPI interfaces of the TA100, in the 24-pin VQFN package. GPIO signals are also supported on the board. The socket board does not come with prototype devices, which will need to be acquired separately.
