Connect the ATWINC1500 Wi-Fi module to the SAM D21 as shown in the figure.
The ATWINC1500 Wi-Fi module comes with a Wi-Fi software API. The purpose of this API is to provide an
abstraction of the binary protocol used between the host processor and the ATWINC1500 Wi-Fi module while
keeping an easy and reliable solution to add wireless capabilities to any user application. This software is
based on the Atmel Software Framework (ASF) and is configured to use an ATWINC1500 Wi-Fi module on
EXT1 by default. Note that switching to another extension port (EXT2 or EXT3) is possible by modifying a
configuration file.
Connecting several ATWINC1500 Wi-Fi modules is possible but not supported by the
provided Wi-Fi Software API.
For this getting start guide the ATWINC1500 Wi-Fi module will remain connected on
EXT1.
Connect the DEBUG USB port on the SAM D21 to your PC using a Micro-USB cable. The SAM D21 will be
visible in the Windows
®
Device Manager with its COM port.
Atmel Studio may detect your device automatically and show a proper page.
