This section gives an overview about the evaluation kit and the hardware environment setup.
  • Connect the ATA5831-XPRO extension board to the extension header (EXT1) of the ATSAMC21-XPRO board (see Figure 2-1).
    Note: The ATA8510 is the industrial version of the ATA5831-XPRO extension board and has the same functionality. Therefore, the ATA5831-XPRO extension board is used for this industrial demo kit.
