3.5 SAM-BA ®
SAM-BA (SAM Boot Assistant) is one of the tools provided in Atmel’s AT91 In-System Programming
(ISP) solution . It provides an easy way for programming the AT91SAM family of microcontrollers using a
graphical or command-line interface. It is also possible to create powerful scripts which can then be run
via the command line, enabling the automation of many tasks. Those scripts can be hand written by the
programmer or generated through the graphical user interface.
After installation, SAM-BA can be used to program the AT91SAM7L-STK evaluation board via SAM-ICE
or COM port connection.
