3.14 Reading Board Type

The driver supports reading board type from SAM.‌

The SAMD51 function for reading SAM device board type is DSCSAM_BoardType.‌

Step-By-Step Instructions

The user should call the function DSCSAM_BoardType() with an address of a buffer of type BYTE as argument to store the board type value.‌

The board names corresponding to values are as follows

Value	Board Type
0	Ziggy
1	TBD
3	Stevie
5	Elton
7	Jethro

...

ERRPARAMS errparams;  // structure for returning error code and error string
BYTE Board_type;

...

// Reading Board Type

if( DSCSAM_BoardType(&Board_type) != DE_NONE )
{
    DSCGetLastError ( &errparams );
    printf ( "DSCSAM_BoardType error: %s %s\n", DSCGetErrorString ( errparams.ErrCode ), errparams.errstring );		
    return 0;
}

// Printing Board Type

if(Board_type == 0)
    printf ( "Board Type : ZIGGY\n" );
else if(Board_type == 3)
    printf ( "Board Type : STEVIE\n" );
else if(Board_type == 5)
    printf ( "Board Type : ELTON\n" );
else if(Board_type == 7)
    printf ( "Board Type : JETHRO\n" );
