The Atmel
SAM4N Xplained Pro evaluation kit is a hardware platform to
evaluate the ATSAM4N16C microcontroller.
Supported by the Atmel Studio integrated development platform, the kit
provides easy access to the features of the Atmel ATSAM4N16C and
explains how to integrate the device in a custom design.
The Xplained Pro MCU series evaluation kits include an on-board
Embedded Debugger, and no external tools are necessary to program or
debug the ATSAM4N16C.
The Xplained Pro extension kits offers additional peripherals to extend the
features of the board and ease the development of custom designs.
