Test programs for YARM CM3

How to test the YARM module on the CM3-Home board.

Flash a YARM_DEV L21 processor with one of the following programs:

You can use Atmel Studio or this article to do it under Linux (EDBG): Atmel SAML21 ASF compiling and FLASH programming on Linux

Flash the YARM_DEV EEPROM of the ATA8510 with the following configuration:

Configuration 1 XTAL 24.305MHz download file

You can use this article for it: ATA8510 EEPROM programming

Flash the YARM D21 processor onboard the CM3-Home with the following program:

Flash the YARM EEPROM of the ATA8510 onboard the CM3-Home with the following configuration:

Configuration 1 XTAL 24.305MHz download file

At startup the YARM onboard the CM3-Home will display a greeting message with the available commands:

The commands 'a' and 'b' will toggle respectively the two pins of the Grove header connected to the YARM and will read the two ADC lines on the ADC connector of the CM3-Home.
Toggle Y-SDA = 0; ADC_0 4095; ADC_1 4095
Toggle Y-SCL = 0; ADC_0 4095; ADC_1 4095

Y-SCL is pin C of the Grove 2 connector
Y-SDA is pin D of the Grove 2 connector
ADC_0 is pin 1 of the ADC connector
ADC_1 is pin 3 of the ADC connector

If a YARM_DEV is switched on with the above program running, the YARM on the CM3-HOME will receive the messages from the YARM_DEV and will transmit a command as an answer:

To have a descritpion of the messages exchanged you can activate the Console On option with the command 'c'
