ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano Hardware User Guide Preface The ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano evaluation kit is a hardware platform to evaluate the ATtiny1607 microcontroller. ® Supported by Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE), the kit provides easy access to the features of the ATtiny1607 to explore how to integrate the device into a custom design.
– 1.8-5.1V output voltage (limited by USB input voltage) – 500 mA maximum output current (limited by ambient temperature and output voltage) Kit Overview The Microchip ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano evaluation kit is a hardware platform to evaluate the ATtiny1607 microcontroller. Figure 1-1. ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit Overview...
The Virtual COM port is connected to a UART on the ATtiny1607 and provides an easy way to communicate with the target application through terminal software. The on-board debugger controls a Power and Status LED (marked PS) on ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano. The table below shows how the LED is controlled in different operation modes.
ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano Curiosity Nano On Linux machines, the CDC will enumerate and appear as /dev/ttyACM#. On MAC machines, the CDC will enumerate and appear as /dev/tty.usbmodem#. Depending on which terminal program is used, it will appear in the available list of modems as usbmodem#.
ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano Curiosity Nano The default baud rate used in this mode is 9600 bps, but if the CDC is already active or has been configured, the baud rate last used still applies. USB-Level Framing Considerations Sending data from the host to the CDC can be done byte-wise or in blocks, which will be chunked into 64- byte USB frames.
ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano Curiosity Nano • KIT-INFO.TXT - a text file containing details about the kit firmware, name, serial number, and device. • STATUS.TXT - a text file containing the programming status of the board. Info: STATUS.TXT is dynamically updated by the on-board debugger, the contents may be cached by the OS and therefore not reflect the correct status.
VBUS Output Pin ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano has a VBUS output pin which can be used to power external components that need a 5V supply. The VBUS output pin has a PTC fuse to protect the USB against short circuits. A side...
ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano Curiosity Nano effect of the PTC fuse is a voltage drop on the VBUS output with higher current loads. The chart below shows the voltage versus the current load of the VBUS output. Figure 3-4. VBUS Output Voltage vs. Current...
ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano Curiosity Nano Tip: A 100-mil pin header can be soldered into the Target Power strap (J101) footprint for easy connection of an ammeter. Once the ammeter is not needed anymore, place a jumper-cap on the pin header.
Using Pin Headers The edge connector footprint on ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano has a staggered design where each of the holes is shifted 8 mil (~0.2 mm) off center. The hole shift allows the use of regular 100-mil pin headers on the kit without soldering.
Peripherals 4.2.1 There is one yellow user LED available on the ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano kit that can be controlled by either GPIO or PWM. The LED can be activated by driving the connected I/O line to GND. Table 4-1. LED Connection...
ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano Appendix Connecting External Debuggers Even though there is an on-board debugger, external debuggers can be connected directly to ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano to program/debug the ATtiny1607. The on-board debugger keeps all the pins connected to the ATtiny1607 and board edge in tri-state when not actively used. Therefore, the on-board debugger will not interfere with any external debug tools.
™ GCC. Programming and debugging of ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano is supported in IAR Embedded Workbench for AVR using the Atmel-ICE interface. Some initial settings must be set up in the project to get the programming and debugging to work.

ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano Appendix In the category Debugger > Atmel-ICE, select the Atmel-ICE 1 tab. Select UPDI as the interface and, optionally, select the UPDI frequency. Info: If the selection of Debug Port, mentioned in step 4, is grayed out, the interface is preselected, and the user can skip this configuration step.
