1. Description

Atmel AVR®UC3 devices with the USB feature are shipped with a USB boot loader.

This USB boot loader allows in-system programming (ISP) to be performed from a USB host

controller without removing the part from the system, without a preprogrammed application, and

without any external programming interface other than USB.

One boot loader is compiled for each AVR UC3 series. The default hardware I/O conditions

used to request the start of the ISP are also specific to each family.

The USB DFU boot loader, version 1.1.0, has the exact same set of features as the USB DFU

boot loader, versions 1.0.x. The difference is the implementation: Version 1.1.0 does not use

any general purpose fuse for configuration, and uses instead the last two words at the end of the

user page, while version 1.0.3 uses three general purpose fuses (GP29, GP30, and GP31) and

the last word at the end of the user page.

This document describes the USB boot loader functions and its use in various contexts.

the Atmel AT32UC3A3, rev. E and higher, can operate with version 1.1.0 of the USB DFU

boot loader, but these devices are shipped preprogrammed with older versions of the boot

loader. For an accurate boot loader version per AVR UC3 devices overview, please refer to

the table of preprogrammed boot loader versions in AVR UC3 devices in Section 8.2.

The boot loader is compiled for each AVR UC3 family because of differences in the MCU periph-

eral memory map. The functionality is the same among families.

5. Boot loader environment

The boot loader manages the USB communication protocol and performs read/write operations

from/to the on-chip memories.

The boot loader is located at the beginning of the on-chip flash array, where an area of up to

64KB can be configured to be write protected by the internal flash controller. The boot loader

protected size must be at least the size of the boot loader. On Atmel AT32UC3xxxxx devices, it

is configured to 8KB.

Figure 5-1. Physical environment.

BatchISP is a PC tool that allows a part to be programmed using the Atmel AVR UC3 USB DFU

boot loader. It is compatible with both Windows®and Linux®. It is integrated into Atmel AVR32

Studio by use of a plug-in.

Note that all GCC make files of the Atmel AVR UC3 Software Framework have programming

goals using BatchISP.

6. Inner workings

6.1 Memory layout

An Atmel AVR UC3 part with the preprogrammed boot loader resets as any other part, at

80000000h. Boot loader execution begins here. The boot loader first performs the boot process

to know whether it should start the USB DFU ISP or the application. If the tested conditions indi-

cate that the USB DFU ISP should be started, then execution continues in the boot loader area

between 80000000h and 80002000h; else the boot loader launches the application at

80002000h.

The conditions tested by the boot process are configured by two 32-bit configuration words

located at the end of the flash user page.

Figure 6-1. The Atmel AT32UC3C0512C non-volatile memory layout with USB DFU boot

loader.

6.2 Configuration

The boot loader configuration is non-volatile and determines the behavior of the boot process

and the ISP. This configuration is stored in the 32 general purpose fuse bits and in the flash user

page (see Figure 6-1).

See the AVR UC3 datasheets for further information about the general purpose fuse bits and the

flash user page.

6.2.1 General purpose fuse bits

Atmel AVR UC3 series devices have 32 general purpose fuse bits. When these bits are erased,

they are set to logical 1.

AVR UC3 devices are shipped with their fuses set as follows:

• For Atmel AVR UC3 C series: The general purpose fuses are set to F877FFFFh

•

That is, BOD is enabled, and the boot loader area is set to 8192 bytes.

The general purpose fuse bits can be changed in one of the following ways:

• With a hardware debugger, use the avr32program writefuses command (see avr32program

help writefuses), or execute “Program Fuses...” on the chosen hardware debugger Atmel

AVR32 target in Atmel AVR32 Studio

• With ISP, use the CONFIGURATION memory with BatchISP (see Section 7.4.2), or execute

“Program Fuses...” on the appropriate ISP AVR 32-bit target in AVR32 Studio (see Section

7.5.2)

• From the running embedded application, use the WGPB, EGPB, PGPFB, and EAGPF

FLASHC commands. See the AVR UC3 datasheets for further information, and be careful of

the lock errors that can occur with these commands

6.2.2 Flash user page

6.2.2.1 Description

The boot loader uses two words in the flash user page to store its configuration:

• Configuration Word1 at address 808001FCh is read first at boot time to know if the ISP

process should start unconditionally, and whether it should use Configuration Word2, where

further configuration is stored (see Table 6-1.)

• Configuration Word2 at address 808001F8h stores the I/O conditions that determine

whether the USB DFU ISP or the application is started at the end of the boot process (see

Table 6-2.)

32166A–AVR32806–06/11

usingthe polynomial:

P(X) = X8+X2+X+1.

This CRC is used to check the validity of

Configuration Word1.

8 ISP_IO_COND_EN When at 1, tells the boot process to use the user

page Configuration Word2 to determine the I/O

conditions to test to know whetherto start the USB

DFU ISP or the application. Refer to Table 6-2 for a

description of the user page Configuration Word2.

Setting this bit to 0 allows the application to save a

GPIO pin and to free the penultimate word of the

user page, but the ISP will then be unreachable until

the ISP_FORCE bit is set to 1. This behavior can be

useful when extending the Atmel default boot loader

with an applicative boot loader (see Section 7.6.3.3).

9 ISP_FORCE When at 1, tells the boot process to start the USB

DFU ISP process without testing any other

conditions.

31:16 ISP_BOOT_KEY_1 Boot key=E11Eh. This key is used to identify this

See Section 6.2.2.2 for the default preprogrammed value of this configuration word.

6.2.2.2 Flash user page configuration words preprogrammed values

The default value of the boot loader flash user page Configuration Word1 is E11EFFD7h (that is,

ISP_FORCE is enabled) for all Atmel AVR UC3 C and D series devices.

The default value of the boot loader flash user page Configuration Word2 is:

• 929E0E62h for the AVR UC3 C0-1 series,

• 929E7504h for the AVR UC3 C2 series,

•

That is, the ISP will be activated when

• the PB0 button onthe UC3C-EK kit is pressed at reset,

• the HBUTTON0 button on the UC3-C2-Xplained kit is pressed at reset,

•

Refer to Section 7.3 for a description of how to customize and program the two configuration

words.

15:8 ISP_IO_COND_PIN The GPIO pin number to test during the boot

process to know whehterto start the USB DFU ISP

or the application. For example, to select PB10 (that

is, QFP144 pin 16 and GPIO pin 42) on the Atmel

AT32UC3A3256, this bit field must be set to 42.

Possible values are:

- 0 to 109 for Atmel AVR UC3 A0 144-pin packages

- 0 to 69 for Atmel AVR UC3 A1 100-pin packages

- 0 to 109 for Atmel AVR UC3 A3 144-pin packages

- 0 to 43 for Atmel AVR UC3 B0 64-pin packages

- 0 to 27 for Atmel AVR UC3 B1 48-pin packages

- 0 to 125 for Atmel AVR UC3 C 144-pin packages

- 0 to 83 for Atmel AVR UC3 C 100-pin packages

- 0 to 47 for Atmel AVR UC3 C 64-pin packages

16 ISP_IO_COND_LEVEL Active level of ISP_IO_COND_PIN that the boot

loader will consider as a request for starting the USB

DFU ISP: 0 for GPIO low level, 1 for GPIO high level

6.3 Boot process

After reset, the boot process starts at 80000000h:

• If the ISP_FORCE configuration bit is 1 (see Table 6-1), the USB DFU ISP is immediately

started

• If the ISP_FORCE configuration bit is 0:

– If external events (power-on reset, external reset, OCD reset, JTAG reset, or JTAG

hardware reset) are among the reset causes, the boot process checks if the

ISP_IO_COND_EN configuration bit is 1, and if so, launches either the USB DFU

ISP or the application according to the ISP I/O configuration specified by the user

page Configuration Word2. If ISP_IO_COND_EN is 0, the application is launched.

– If the watchdog timer (WDT) is one of the reset causes, the boot process launches

the application. The watchdog timer is not stopped if the application was running

before reset.

– If an error (BOD or CPU error) is one of the reset causes, the boot process launches

either the USB DFU ISP or the application according to which one was running

before the reset.
