Updating Firmware
The control and monitor processor ATSAM4SD32C supports Microchip SAM Boot Assistance
(SAM-BA), an open set of tools for programming the Microchip ARM
®
core-based
microcontrollers. This is only necessary for updating a complete firmware image including
bootloader for example. A normal firmware update can be done by the CLI firmware update
procedure. Please see chapter 5.3.5 Firmware update for further information.
The following section provides a guide on how to install the in-system programmer and how to
use it.

This is a guide on how to install the in-system programmer on your PC.
1. Download the version 2.18 of SAM-BA in-system programmer from Microchip web
page
(http://www.microchip.com).
