Introduction to the Atmel-ICE
Atmel-ICE is a powerful development tool for debugging and programming Arm Cortex-M based Microchip SAM and
Microchip AVR microcontrollers with On-Chip Debug capability.
It supports:
•
Programming and on-chip debugging of all Microchip AVR UC3 microcontrollers on both JTAG and aWire
interfaces
•
Programming and on-chip debugging of all AVR XMEGA family devices on both JTAG and PDI two-wire
interfaces
•
Programming (JTAG and SPI) and debugging of all AVR 8-bit microcontrollers with OCD support on both JTAG
or debugWIRE interfaces
•
Programming and debugging of all Microchip SAM Arm Cortex-M based microcontrollers on both SWD and
JTAG interfaces
•
Programming (TPI) of all Microchip tinyAVR 8-bit microcontrollers with support for this interface
1.2

Supports 10-pin 50-mil JTAG connector with both AVR and Cortex pinouts. The standard probe cable supports
AVR 6-pin ISP/PDI/TPI 100-mil headers as well as 10-pin 50-mil. An adapter is available to support 6-pin 50-mil,
10-pin 100-mil, and 20-pin 100-mil headers. Several kit options are available with different cabling and adapters.
1.3
System Requirements
The Atmel-ICE unit requires that a front-end debugging environment MPLAB X IDE, or Atmel Studio is installed on
your computer.
The Atmel-ICE should be connected to the host computer using the USB cable provided, or a certified Micro-USB
cable.
