Connecting a SAM-ICE to an Xplained Pro Board
If you accidentally erase the SAM device on your Xplained Pro board (the embedded debugger will also be erased so the board then becomes 'bricked' i.e., it now has all the functionality of a brick), the only way to reprogram the board is with the SAM-ICE or Atmel-ICE.
Connect the SAM-ICE to theCortex® Debug Connector on your Xplained Pro board using a 10-pin 50-mil header to a squid cable. See the following table and image showing the connections between the SAM-ICE and Cortex Debug Connector.
| Squid Cable pin | SAM-ICE pin |
|---|---|
| 1 (VCC) | 1 (VTref) |
| 2 (SWDIO/TMS) | 7 (TMS) |
| 3 (GND) | 4 (GND) |
| 4 (SWCLK/TCK) | 9 (TCK) |
| 5 (GND) | 6 (GND) |
