1.3 Board variants
There are two major board variants named: OLIMEXINO-85-ASM and OLIMEXINO-85-KIT. The
difference between the two versions is that the KIT one comes with no components soldered. The
already soldered version is called ASM (short from "assembled").
It is possible that the board or the kit you own has either mini USB connector or USB type B,
connector. This might alter the recommended cable. Initially, we used to mount mini USB connector
since we believed most people already have some sort of mini USB cable which would reduce the
end cost for the customer. However, the mini USB was much harder to place and solder than the
rest of the components and many customers found it frustrating. We decided to place USB type B
for newer revisions which is much easier to solder.
This document is suitable for both boards. However, for more precise soldering instructions
(regarding the KIT variant) it is recommended to refer to the soldering guide, which is a stand-alone
document and might be downloaded from the KIT's web page.
Other similar boards manufactured by Olimex:
OLIMEXINO-85BC - a board similar to OLIMEXINO-85-ASM that has a battery connector and
battery charger; uses mini USB connector
OLIMEXINO-85S – the smallest ATTiny85 board that we manufacture - (0.665×0.500) inch, uses
micro USB connector and can be powered by a battery
SIMON-85 – an implementation of the SIMON game to test your memory skill
SIMON-85-KIT – same as above but available as kit to solder yourself
FOSDEM-85 – a kit for soldering with penguin shape, can be attached to a key chain
1.4 Board version used in the manual
Hardware revision B boards and resources were used while writing this document. It is possible that
they are outdated so it is always recommended to refer to the stand-alone schematics available at
our web-site.
The hardware revision of your OLIMEXINO-85 is printed on the top under the name of the board.
1.5 Organization
Each section in this document covers a separate topic, organized as follows:
– Chapter 1 is an overview of the board usage and features
– Chapter 2 provides a guide for quickly setting up the board and software notes
– Chapter 3 outlines the main parts of the OLIMEXINO-85
– Chapter 4 describes the component that is the heart of the board – the ATtiny85 and explains
the needed connections for external programming via a compatible tool
– Chapter 5 covers the connector pinout, peripherals and jumper description
