Use the adapter board (included in some kits) to connect to a standard 50-mil SPI header.
Connection to a Custom 100-mil Header
The 10-pin mini-squid cable should be used to connect between the Atmel-ICE AVR connector port and the target
board. Six connections are required, as described in the table below.
Important:
The SPI interface is effectively disabled when the debugWIRE Enable (DWEN) fuse is programmed, even
if the SPIEN fuse is also programmed. To re-enable the SPI interface, the 'disable debugWIRE' command
must be issued while in a debugWIRE debugging session. Disabling debugWIRE in this manner requires
that the SPIEN fuse is already programmed. If MPLAB X IDE or Atmel Studio fails to disable debugWIRE,
it is probably because the SPIEN fuse is NOT programmed. If this is the case, it is necessary to use a
high-voltage programming interface to program the SPIEN fuse.
Info:
The SPI interface is often referred to as "ISP" since it was the first in-system programming interface on
Microchip AVR products. Other interfaces are now available for in-system programming.
