SAM4C32-EK Specifications
The SAM4C32-EK is shipped in a protective anti-static package. The board system
must not be subjected to high electrostatic discharge.
We strongly recommend using a grounding strap or similar ESD protective device when
handling the board in hostile ESD environments (offices with synthetic carpet, for
example). Avoid touching the component pins or any other metallic element on the
board.
1.1
Battery
The SAM4C32-EK ships with a 3V coin battery. This battery is not required for the board to start up as long as
jumper JP8 is closed.
The coin battery is provided for user convenience in case the user would like to exercise the date and time backup
function of the SAM4C32 devices when the board is switched off.
1.2
Recovery Procedure
The demo software is stored in internal Flash memory. If the content of the internal Flash has been erased, it can
be reprogrammed recovered to the state as it was when shipped by Atmel using Atmel SAM-BA
