Flashing the device

Connect the device to your Micro-USB cable using the port labeled as DEBUG USB.

The standard method for flashing RIOT to the same54-xpro is using EDBG.

On Linux you will have to add a udev rule for hidraw, like

bash
echo 'KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"' \
| sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb.rules
sudo service udev restart

Supported Toolchains

For using the same54-xpro board we strongly recommend the usage of the GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors toolchain.
