Hello,

I am using the Atmel SAM3N00B microcontroller and the only way I can see to do in circuit serial programming is to use the 20 way JTAG connector.

However, this connector is too big for our production unit, and I wondered if there is a smaller, say 5 pin programming connector which I could use?

Thanks Leon,

....i am not sure what the part number is for this connector.?


With the PIC range of uC's , i am sure you will know what i mean, they just have a 5 pin header for programming....its very easy and simple...i am sure you would agree that the Atmel stuff seems more complicated?
