24.5 SAM-BA Monitor
The SAM-BA boot principle:
Once the communication interface is identified, to run in an infinite loop waiting for different commands as shown in Table
24-2.
 Mode commands:
 Normal mode configures SAM-BA Monitor to send/receive data in binary format,
 Terminal mode configures SAM-BA Monitor to send/receive data in ascii format.
 Write commands: Write a byte (O), a halfword (H) or a word (W) to the target.
 Address: Address in hexadecimal.
 Value: Byte, halfword or word to write in hexadecimal.
 Output: ‘>’.
 Read commands: Read a byte (o), a halfword (h) or a word (w) from the target.
 Address: Address in hexadecimal
 Output: The byte, halfword or word read in hexadecimal following by ‘>’
 Send a file (S): Send a file to a specified address
 Address: Address in hexadecimal
 Output: ‘>’.
Note: There is a time-out on this command which is reached when the prompt ‘>’ appears before the end of the com-
mand execution.
 Receive a file (R): Receive data into a file from a specified address
 Address: Address in hexadecimal
 NbOfBytes: Number of bytes in hexadecimal to receive
 Output: ‘>’
 Go (G): Jump to a specified address and execute the code
 Address: Address to jump in hexadecimal
 Output: ‘>’
