• One Atmel QTouch button Introduction The Atmel UC3-A3 Xplained evaluation kit is a hardware platform to evaluate the Atmel AT32UC3A3256 microcontroller. ® The kit offers a large range of features that enables the Atmel AVR UC3 user to get started using UC3 peripherals right away and understand how to integrate the UC3 device in their own design.
Atmel AVR ONE! AVR ONE! is a professional development tool for all Atmel 8- and 32-bit AVR devices with on-chip debug capability. It is used for source level symbolic debugging, program trace, and device programming. The AVR ONE! supports the complete development cycle and is the fastest debugging tool offered from Atmel.
Figure 2-2. Functional overview of the Atmel UC3-A3 Xplained kit. Preprogrammed firmware The Atmel AT32UC3A3256 on the Atmel UC3-A3 Xplained kit is preprogrammed with a USB bootloader and a default firmware. The preprogrammed firmware in the AT32UC3A3256 is a simple demonstration of the QTouch button and QTouch slider.
The AT32UC3A3256 can be programmed and debugged by connecting an external programming/debugging tool to the JTAG header. The header has a standard JTAG programmer pinout (refer to online help in Atmel Studio), and tools such as JTAGICE3 or AVR ONE! can thus be connected directly to the header.
