Software Reference Guide

Each of the major software components are described below. This reference information may be
sufficient for veteran embedded processor programmers. Others will want to consult the chapters
on installing the development tools and using them.

Toolchain

Most of the tools and all of source files needed to build the sample application are provided in the
SDK. No bootloader is being provided in the first release, so the user will have to download the
image onto the xPRESS motherboard via the J-TAG interface (or use SAM-BA). The diagram
below demonstrates a JTAG based workflow.

The xPRESS software is developed using the ARM-maintained toolchain, that can be found
here:

. From this website, the toolchain for Windows,

Linux and OSX can be obtained.
