Atmel PROTO1 Xplained Pro

Preface

The Atmel® PROTO1 Xplained Pro extension board is a development board
that can be used to prototype small circuits and easy connect it to 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. This
section can be separated from the prototype section to be used standalone or
not at all.

    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.
  • Page 9: Proto1 Xplained Pro Id System

    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.

  • Page 13: Hardware Revision History And Knonwn Issues

    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.
