Hi,
I am trying to download a simple blink program from the Arduino IDE to the Sam3x8e chip using a Seeeduino board (since it can give a 3.3v output).
When I try to press the Shift key on the keyboard and then press the upload button on the Arduino IDE, the status bar simple says 'Uploading' and the LED connected on the Sam3x chip does not blink.
I thought I might have to burn the bootloader first, since downloading the program might not necessarily update the bootloader. But when I press the 'Burn Bootloader' option, the status bar on the IDE says 'Error while burning bootloader'.
I am following the checklist for the connecting the power pins and its components on the Sam3x side. The Seeeduino boards power button is positioned to 3.3v.
Seeeduino Sam3x
3.3v -> Vdd
Groung -> Ground
Reset -> Reset
Tx(Digital pin0) -> RX
Rx(Digital pin1) -> TX
The Erase pin on the Sam3x is left open. Also, I have not connected any oscillators on the Sam3x.
Where am I going wrong? How do I successfully burn the bootloader and then download the arduino code into the Sam3x?
