1.2 Board Overview
The SAM-IoT Wx v2 development board is a hardware platform used to evaluate and develop IoT solutions with
the Microchip ATSAMD21G18 Arm Cortex-M0+ based Flash microcontroller, ATECC608B secure element, and the
ATWINC1510 Wi-Fi controller module.
The pre-programmed demonstration application publishes data from the on-board light and temperature sensors read
by the ATSAMD21G18A MCU to the cloud (every second). Any data received from the cloud over the subscribed
topic is sent to the virtual serial port and can be displayed in a serial terminal application. The ATWINC1510 needs a
connection to the Wi-Fi network with an internet connection. The ATECC608B is used to authenticate the hardware
with the cloud to uniquely identify every board. The demonstration application source code can be modified to publish
data to a personal cloud account to begin with a custom cloud application.
The following figure shows the key features and pinout of the SAM-IoT Wx v2 development board.

4.1 On-Board Debugger Overview
The SAM-IoT Wx v2 development board contains an on-board debugger for programming and debugging. The
on-board debugger is a composite USB device consisting of these interfaces:
• A debugger that can program and debug the ATSAMD21G18A in MPLAB X IDE.
• A mass storage device that allows drag-and-drop programming of the ATSAMD21G18A.
• A virtual serial port (CDC) that is connected to a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) on
the ATSAMD21G18A and provides an easy way to communicate with the target application through terminal
software.
• A Data Gateway Interface (DGI) for code instrumentation with logic analyzer channels (debug GPIO) to visualize
program flow.
The on-board debugger controls a Power and Status LED (marked PS) on the SAM-IoT Wx v2 development board.
The following table shows how the LED is controlled in different operation modes.
Table 4-1. On-Board Debugger Overview
Operation Mode Power and Status LED
Boot Loader mode The LED blinks slowly during power-up.
Power-up The LED is ON.
Normal operation The LED is ON.
Programming Activity indicator: The LED blinks slowly during programming/debugging.
Drag-and-drop programming Success: The LED blinks slowly for 2 seconds.
Failure: The LED blinks rapidly for 2 seconds.
Fault The LED blinks rapidly if a power fault is detected.
Sleep/Off
The LED is OFF.
The on-board debugger is either in Sleep mode or powered-down.
This can occur if the board is externally powered.
Info: Slow blinking is approximately 1 Hz, and rapid blinking is approximately 5 Hz.
4.1.1 Debugger
The on-board debugger on the SAM-IoT Wx v2 development board appears as a mass storage device with a CDC
on the Host computer’s USB subsystem. The debugger supports full-featured programming and debugging of the
ATSAMD21G18A using MPLAB X IDE or other selected third-party IDEs.
Remember: Ensure that the firmware for the debugger is up-to-date. Firmware upgrades are done
automatically when using MPLAB X IDE.
4.1.2 Virtual Serial Port
The virtual serial port (CDC) is a general purpose serial bridge between the Host PC and a target device.
4.1.2.1 Overview
The on-board debugger implements a composite USB device that includes a standard Communications Device Class
(CDC) interface, which appears on the Host as a virtual serial port. The CDC can be used to stream arbitrary data
in both directions between the Host computer and the target: All characters sent through the virtual serial port on the
SAM-IoT Wx v2
Hardware User Guide

and its subsidiaries
User Guide DS70005506A-page 8
Host computer will be transmitted as UART on the CDC TX pin of the debugger, and UART characters captured on
the CDC RX pin of the debugger will be returned to the Host computer through the virtual serial port.
Figure 4-1. CDC Connection
Info: As shown above, the CDC TX pin of the debugger is connected to a UART RX pin on the target for receiving
characters from the Host computer. Similarly, the CDC RX pin of the debugger is connected to a UART TX pin on the
target for transmitting characters to the Host computer.
4.1.2.2 Operating System Support
On Windows machines, the CDC will enumerate as Curiosity Virtual COM Port and appear in the ports section of the
Windows Device Manager. The COM port number can also be found there.
Important: On the older Windows systems, a USB driver is required for CDC. This driver is included in
installations of MPLAB X IDE.
On Linux machines, the CDC will enumerate and appear as /dev/ttyACM#.
Important: The tty* devices belong to the dialout group in Linux, therefore it is necessary to become a
member of that group to have permissions to access the CDC.
On MAC machines, the CDC will enumerate and appear as /dev/tty.usbmodem#. Depending on which terminal
program is used, it will appear in the available list of modems as usbmodem#.
Important: For all operating systems, ensure to use a terminal emulator that supports DTR signaling.
Refer to the Signaling for additional information.
4.1.2.3 Limitations
Not all UART features are implemented in the on-board debugger CDC. The constraints are outlined here:
•Baud rate: Must be in the range of 1200 bps to 500 kbps. Any baud rate outside this range will be set to the
closest limit, without warning. Baud rate can be changed on-the-fly.
•Character format: Only 8-bit characters are supported.
•Parity: Can be odd, even, or none.
•Hardware flow control: Not supported.
•Stop bits: One or two bits are supported.
4.1.2.4 Signaling
During USB enumeration, the Host OS will start both communication and data pipes of the CDC interface. At this
point, it is possible to set and read back the baud rate and other UART parameters of the CDC, but data sending and
receiving will not be enabled.
When a terminal connects on the Host, it must assert the DTR signal. As this is a virtual control signal implemented
on the USB interface, it is not physically present on the board. Asserting the DTR signal from the Host will indicate to
SAM-IoT Wx v2
Hardware User Guide

and its subsidiaries
User Guide DS70005506A-page 9
the on-board debugger that a CDC session is active. The debugger will then enable its level shifters (if available) and
start the CDC data send and receive mechanisms.
Deasserting the DTR signal will not disable the level shifters but will disable the receiver, therefore no further data will
be streamed to the Host. Data packets that are already queued up for sending to the target will continue to be sent
out, but no further data will be accepted.
Remember: Set up the terminal emulator to assert the DTR signal. Without the signal, the on-board
debugger will not send or receive any data through its UART.
Tip: The CDC TX pin of the on-board debugger will not be driven until the CDC interface is enabled
by the Host computer. Also, there are no external pull-up resistors on the CDC lines connecting the
debugger and the target, which means that during power-up, these lines are floating. To avoid any glitches
resulting in unpredictable behavior, such as framing errors, the target device must enable the internal
pull-up resistor on the pin connected to the CDC TX pin of the debugger.
4.1.2.5 Advanced Use
CDC Override Mode
In normal operation, the on-board debugger is a true UART bridge between the Host and the device. However, in
certain use cases, the on-board debugger can override the basic operating mode and use the CDC TX and RX pins
for other purposes.
Dropping a text file into the mass storage drive of the on-board debugger can be used to send characters out of the
CDC TX pin on the debugger. The file name and extension are trivial, but the text file must start with the characters:
CMD:SEND_UART=
The maximum message length is 50 characters. All remaining data in the frame is ignored.
The default baud rate used in this mode is 9600 bps, but if the CDC is already active or has been configured, the
previously used baud rate still applies.
USB-Level Framing Considerations
Sending data from the Host to the CDC can be done byte-wise or in blocks, which will be chunked into 64-byte USB
frames. Each such frame will be queued up for sending to the CDC TX pin of the debugger. Transferring a small
amount of data per frame can be inefficient, particularly at low-baud rates, as the on-board debugger buffers frames
and not bytes. A maximum of four 64-byte frames can be active at any time. The on-board debugger will throttle the
incoming frames accordingly. Sending full 64-byte frames containing data is the most efficient method.
When receiving data on the CDC RX pin of the debugger, the on-board debugger will queue up the incoming bytes
into 64-byte frames, which are sent to the USB queue for transmission to the Host when they are full. Incomplete
frames are also pushed to the USB queue at approximately 100 ms intervals, triggered by USB start-of-frame tokens.
Up to eight 64-byte frames can be active at any time.
If the Host (or the software running on it) fails to receive data fast enough, an overrun will occur. When this happens,
the last-filled buffer frame will be recycled instead of being sent to the USB queue, and a full frame of data will be
lost. To prevent this occurrence, the user must ensure that the CDC data pipe is being read continuously, or the
incoming data rate must be reduced.
4.1.3 Mass Storage Device
The on-board debugger includes a simple mass storage device implementation, which is accessible for read/write
operations through the Host operating system to which it is connected.
The mass storage device provides the following:
• Read access to basic text and HTML files for detailed kit information and support.
