SimplePublish for SAM C21 Xplained Pro
...
| Note |
|---|
Windows is the only supported OS for the latest Atmel Studio 7. |
| Tip |
|---|
ASF is included in Atmel Studio 7 and does not require a specific download, but you can use the Extension Manager (Tools->Extension Manager) to update it. |
Prepare the SAM C21 Xplained Pro
...
Navigate to the SimplePublish example directory at examples/samc21_xplained_pro/SimplePublish/SimplePublish and open the SimplePublish.atsln solution file in Atmel Studio 7. This should open the project with everything set up for you. Since the Xplained Pro has an embedded debugger, you do not have to select any tool: Atmel Studio should detect that the board is connected via USB.
| Note |
|---|
The Atmel Studio project expects to find the sm_clib and sm_qsl as they appear in the Directory Structure. If you chose the zip download or subversion checkout, the sm_clib/ directory from the separate unzipped folder/svn checkout need to be copied into the QSL repository to achieve the same structure. |
Now, simply press the 
symbol (Ctrl+Alt+F5) to compile and run the program, and you should see prints appearing on the debug terminal you opened.
