Metro M4 express with Atmel studio

Post by em_em1 »

Hello
I have my metro m4 express board and I read it has a bootloader to upload code and is used with Arduino IDE.
Is it possible to use the board with Atmel studio IDE and flash the code using J-link without using arduino and bootloader and all that?
and if it's possible, how can I do it? Should I just flash the code from device programming in Atmel studio and it will just override the bootloader or what?

Yes, I believe it is possible to do what you are suggesting. Remove the bootloader and use Atmel Studio + JTAG to program the Metro M4 directly. There is a pretty good thread on this from the platform IO forum (done with an Adafruit Feather M0 at the time). That would probably be a better forum to follow up as we are next well versed with that setup.

Thanks, I am able to flash code now but for some reason it's not working

Glad to hear you have made some progress.

I would suggest posting to the Atmel or Platform IO forums for more assistance with your setup. We don’t have guides around using these chips without a bootloader.
