Adafruit Feather M4 CAN

Hardware

Platform Atmel SAM: Atmel | SMART offers Flash- based ARM products based on the ARM Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 architectures, ranging from 8KB to 2MB of Flash including a rich peripheral and feature mix.

Microcontroller	SAME51J19A
Frequency	120MHz
Flash	496KB
RAM	192KB
Vendor	Adafruit

Configuration

Please use adafruit_feather_m4_can ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:adafruit_feather_m4_can]
platform = atmelsam
board = adafruit_feather_m4_can

You can override default Adafruit Feather M4 CAN settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest adafruit_feather_m4_can.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:adafruit_feather_m4_can]
platform = atmelsam
board = adafruit_feather_m4_can

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = same51j19a

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 120000000L

Uploading

Adafruit Feather M4 CAN supports the following uploading protocols:

• atmel-ice

• jlink

• sam-ba

Default protocol is sam-ba

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:adafruit_feather_m4_can]
platform = atmelsam
board = adafruit_feather_m4_can

upload_protocol = sam-ba

Debugging

Debugging - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

Adafruit Feather M4 CAN does not have on-board debug probe and IS NOT READY for debugging. You will need to use/buy one of external probe listed below.

Compatible Tools	On-board	Default
Atmel-ICE		Yes
J-LINK
