Introduction
Figure 1-1. ATmegaICE with Pod Connected
The AVR ICE unit is the main part of the AVR ATmegaICE system. AVR Studio, which
runs on a host PC, controls the ICE unit. The ICE unit must be connected to an available
RS-232 port on the host PC with the supplied RS-232 cable. AVR Studio automatically
detects if there is an emulator present on one of the PC's serial ports. Note that if no ICE
is found, AVR Studio will show "Simulator" in the lower right corner of the main window.
If the ICE is found, "AVR Emulator" will be indicated and your connections are correct.
AVR Studio will issue a warning if a program previously run in emulator mode is started
in simulator mode.
