Xplained Pro Quick Start

Steps to start exploring the Xplained Pro platform:
1. Download and install Atmel Studio.
2. Launch Atmel Studio.
3. Connect the Debug USB port on the evaluation kit to the computer using a USB cable (Standard-A
to Micro-B or Micro-AB).
When the Xplained Pro MCU kit is connected to the computer for the first time, the operating system
installs the driver software automatically. This driver supports 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft
®
Windows XP, Windows Vista
When the Xplained Pro MCU board is powered, the power LED (green) glows and the Atmel Studio
automatically detects the specific Xplained Pro MCU and extension board(s) that are connected. The
landing page of the kit in the Atmel Studio has an option to launch the Atmel Software Framework (ASF)
and the Atmel START example application codes for the kit. The ATmega4809 device is programmed and
debugged by the on-board embedded debugger and therefore no external programmer or debugger tool
is required.

Design Documentation and Relevant Links

The following list contains links to the most relevant documents and software for the ATmega4809
Xplained Pro.
• Xplained products
Microchip microcontrollers and other Microchip products.
– Xplained Nano - used for low pin-count devices and provides a minimalistic solution with
access to all I/O pins of the target microcontroller.
– Xplained Mini - used for medium pin-count devices and adds Arduino Uno compatible header
footprint and a prototyping area.
– Xplained Pro - used for medium to high pin-count devices that features advanced debugging
and standardized extensions for peripheral functions.
Note: All the above kits have on-board programmers/debuggers, which creates a set of low-cost
boards for evaluation and demonstration of features and capabilities of different Microchip products.
