Xplained Pro MCU boards through one of the standard extension headers. It includes an ID chip and will be recognized by Atmel Studio. It can also be used to interface older Xplained top-modules like sensor boards. There is a separate connector available to connect external power to a Xplained Pro series evaluation kits.

Support for Xplained series extension modules Kit Overview The Atmel PROTO1 Xplained Pro board is a generic prototyping extension board for the Xplained Pro platform. It connects to any standard extension header on any Xplained Pro MCU board and thus is offers an easy way to do prototyping with the Xplained Pro platform.

Xplained Pro is an evaluation platform that provides the full Atmel microcontroller experience. The platform consists of a series of Microcontroller (MCU) boards and extension boards that are integrated with Atmel Studio, have Atmel Software Framework (ASF) drivers and demo code, support data streaming and more.
Pro is connected to the EXT1 extension header on the the Xplained Pro MCU board. It can be used to power the Xplained Pro MCU board from an external source or to get internal power from the Xplaiend Pro MCU board to the PROTO1 Xplained Pro Atmel PROTO1 Xplained Pro [USER GUIDE]...
PROTO1 Xplained Pro Extension Headers The PROTO1 Xplained Pro has two 20-pin headers. One is angled (left side of the board) and is intended to be connected to a Xplained Pro MCU board, standard extension header. The other is a vertical header (right side of the board) that can be used to connect signals to the prototype area or to attach other extension modules to it.
The PROTO1 Xplained Pro board has the Xplained Pro hardware identification system implemented. When the board is connected via an Atmel Xplained Pro MCU board to Atmel Studio it will be identified and relevant information like the user guide will be shown. By default the ID device on the board is connected to the right angled extension header and the ID X pin of the vertical extension header on the right side of the board is unconnected.
Now any connected Xplained Pro extension modules that are plugged into the vertical extension header on the right side of the board will be detected by Atmel Studio, the PROTO1 Xplained Pro extension board will not longer be detected. Connecting the PROTO1 Xplained Pro The lower part of the PROTO1 Xplained Pro board can be connected to all Xplained Pro MCU evalutation kits standard extension headers.
Connecting Xplained Extension Boards It is also possible to interface Xplained top-modules via the PROTO1 Xplained Pro board. The signal layout on the extension connector below the white line, i.e. pins 11 - 20 is identical to the J1 connector (communication connector) on the Xplained series MCU boards (see Figure 4-6, “External Connector.”...

Revision 2 of PROTO1 Xplained Pro is the initial released version. PROTO1 Xplained Pro boards with a serial number that ends with a number lower than 19048 may have a wrong revision programmed into the Xplained Pro ID chip. This will only affect the information displayed by the Atmel Kits extension in Atmel Studio.
