Hello Everyone,

 

I'm interested in the Atmel SAMB11 ultra-low power Bluetooth SMART microcontroller for a project I am working on. I've looked on the product data sheet, and online forums and nowhere can I any information about how this device is to be programmed. Is there a special ISP designed for this unit? 

 

An ISP I looked at is the Atmel-ICE. Would this ISP work for programming the SAMB11 MCU?

 

Any help or support you can provide me with is much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

M. Nasser

Hello, nassermoe.

 

Yes, you can use ATMEL-ICE in order to program the ATSAMB11 MCU without any issues.

Kind Regards,
Sergei Danielian

Any SWD programmer should do. I have both Atmel-ICE and Atmel Power Debugger. Both work fine.

 

For programming speed the Atmel ICE can be a lot faster.

 

Atmel Studio has a slider for the SWD frequency, defauilt is 2MHz, max is 10Mhz. From what I see there are actually just 2 speeds. Once I put the frequency about ~4Mhz the programming is about 2 times faster. Any higher frequency and the programming speed stays the same.

 

This is with Atmel ICE. With the Power Debugger I can only program at the slow speed.
