Pin Mapping
The SAM E54 Xplained Pro evaluation kit has 4 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.
For more details please refer to SAM D5x/E5x Family Datasheet [1] and the SAM E54 Xplained Pro Schematic [2].
Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:
SERCOM2 USART TX : PB24
SERCOM2 USART RX : PB25
GPIO/PWM LED0 : PC18

System Clock
The SAME54 MCU is configured to use the 32.768 kHz external oscillator with the on-chip PLL generating the 48 MHz system clock.
Serial Port
The SAME54 MCU has 8 SERCOM based USARTs with one configured as USARTs in this BSP. SERCOM2 is the default Zephyr console.
SERCOM2 115200 8n1 connected to the onboard Atmel Embedded Debugger (EDBG)
PWM
The SAME54 MCU has 5 TCC based PWM units with up to 6 outputs each and a period
of 24 bits or 16 bits. If CONFIG_PWM_SAM0_TCC is enabled then LED0 is
driven by TCC0 instead of by GPIO.
SPI Port
The SAME54 MCU has 8 SERCOM based SPIs.
I2C Port
The SAME54 MCU has 8 SERCOM based I2Cs. On the SAM E54 Xplained Pro, SERCOM7 is connected to a AT24MAC402 EEPROM and a ATECC508A Crypto Authentication device.
Programming and Debugging
The SAM E54 Xplained Pro comes with a Atmel Embedded Debugger (EDBG). This provides a debug interface to the SAME54 chip and is supported by OpenOCD.
Flashing
Build the Zephyr kernel and the
hello_worldsample application:west build -b same54_xpro samples/hello_world
Connect the SAM E54 Xplained Pro to your host computer using the USB debug port.
Run your favorite terminal program to listen for output. Under Linux the terminal should be
/dev/ttyACM0. For example:$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0 -o
The -o option tells minicom not to send the modem initialization string. Connection should be configured as follows:
Speed: 115200
Data: 8 bits
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
To flash an image:
west build -b same54_xpro samples/hello_world west flash
You should see “Hello World! same54_xpro” in your terminal.
