Installing Software and documentation
The CD contains an executable file – Kanda AVR.exe. Run this installer and it will copy
all the documentation, sample code and software to your PC.
The default install folder for Kanda software and documentation is
C:\Program Files\Kanda AVR
You also have the option in this installer to install WinAVR C Compiler and AVR Studio
development environment. We recommend that you do install these unless you already
have them on your PC.
There are three main pieces of software:
•
AVRISP – This is the programmer software, used for transferring code from the PC
into the AVR device on the board. To install the software Double Click the EXE file
and follow the on-screen install instructions.
AVRISP has a Documents folder that contains PDF files with useful information about
AVRISP.
•
AVR Studio
AVR Studio is a complete development system for AVR devices,
-
supplied by Atmel. It is probably the best available for any microcontroller. This
environment is where you write new programs, and assemble them for the AVR chip.
It also includes a Simulator for stepping through your code to debug it. The
documentation folder includes instructions on using AVR Studio.
The installer allows you to install AVR Studio. The default install path is
C:\Program Files\Atmel\AVR Tools\AVR Studio

Page 3: Power Supply
Switch Connector Port Headers Make sure you use the correct header on the STK300 board – it is the box header next to the 9-way D-Type connector and power input. Power Supply 4) Connect a power supply to the board. The connector type required is 2.1mm barrel, centre negative or centre positive. - Page 4 There are two buffers, one for code – Flash and one for data – EEPROM Go to File Menu and choose Load > Flash, and select a file such as Samples > STK300 > LED Flash > LEDflash.hex To load EEPROM data, follow the same procedure or type data directly into the buffer, in Hex numbers or ASCII characters.
- Page 5 Atmega128 that can be altered to affect the way the device runs and interacts with the circuit. The default fuses will work happily on the STK300 board, but you may want to alter them to make the clock run from the 8MHz crystal on the board. Leave JTAGEN checked to use emulator.
- Page 6 3) The Atmega128L supplied as standard can operate from 2.7-5.5V Brownout Circuit The STK300 has a brownout detector to reset the AVR if the voltage drops too low. The brownout level is set using JP2 and should match the voltage selected by JP1 i.e. JP1 and JP2 both off or both on.
- Page 7 Port G only has 5 pins. Of these, PG3 and PG4 are used by Real Time Clock (RTC) circuit so are NOT brought out to header. In addition to PG0/WR, PG1/RF and PG2/ALE, this header has Reset and a VCC and GND Pin. © Kanda 2013 Copyright...
- Page 8 It has the recommended Atmel JTAG Interface pin-out and can be used with JTAG ICE tools, such as the Kanda JTAGAVR, which will plug straight in, without adapters. Kanda AVRUSB programmers, with JTAG adapter fitted, can also use this connector.
- Page 9 The LCD can be driven in Memory Mapped or I/O Mode - see data sheet. If the crystal has been changed to a faster crystal frequency, memory mapped operations will not work. A suitable LCD is available on the Kanda site ( http://www.kanda.com/go/570910-PM A sample file is included on the CD in Samples directory.
