3.3 Programming and debugging
3.3.1 Embedded AT-Link-EZ
The evaluation board embeds Artery AT-Link-EZ programming and debugging tool for users to
program/debug the AT32F413RCT7 on the AT-START-F413 board. AT-Link-EZ supports SWD
interface mode, SWO debug, and supports a set of virtual COM ports (VCP) to connect to the
USART1_TX/USART1_RX (PA9/PA10) of AT32F413RCT7. In this case, PA9 and PA10 of
AT32F413RCT7 will be affected by AT-Link-EZ as follows:
PA9 is weakly pulled up to high level by the VCP RX pin of AT-Link-EZ;
PA10 is strongly pulled up to high level by the VCP TX pin of AT-Link-EZ
The user can set R9 or R10 OFF, then the use of PA9 and PA10 of AT32F413RCT7 is not subject
to the above restrictions.
The SWO of AT-Link-EZ is connected to the TRACESWO (PB3) of AT32F413RCT7 through R18,
and will be set in floating state when the SWO debug is not enabled, which would not affect the use
of PB3. If you have any concerns in use, please set R18 OFF.
Please refer to AT-Link User Manual for complete details on the operations, firmware upgrade and
precautions of AT-Link-EZ.
The AT-Link-EZ PCB on the evaluation board can be separated from AT-START-F413 by bending
over along the joint. In this case, AT-START-F413 can still be connected to the CN7 of AT-Link-EZ
through CN2 (not mounted before shipping), or can be connected with another AT-Link to continue
the programming and debugging on the AT32F413RCT7.
3.3.2 20-pin ARM® standardJTAG connector
AT-START-F413 also reserves JTAG or SWD general-purpose connectors as
programming/debugging tools. If the user wants to use this interface to program and debug the
AT32F413RCT7, please separate the AT-Link-EZ from this board or set R41, R44 and R46 OFF,
and connect the CN3 (not mounted before shipping) to the programming and debugging tool.
Although Artery microcontrollers can be compatible with most third- party development tools in the
market, it is still recommended to use AT-Link series tools to experience the best debug
environment.
