Introduction
®
The Atmel CryptoAuthentication™ USB Dongle Evaluation Kits are the ideal way to evaluate the
performance and applicability of the Atmel Family of CryptoAuthentication devices. Each kit contains
three devices:

AT88CK490 Kit (Blue PCB): ATAES132A, ATSHA204A, and ATECC108A

AT88CK590 Kit (Red PCB): ATAES132A, ATSHA204A, and ATECC508A.
The kits are USB dongles that allows the interested evaluator to plug it into a PC and use the
evaluation and development software package called Atmel CryptoAuthentication Evaluation Studio
("ACES") that is easily downloadable from the Atmel website.
Each kit includes an Atmel AT90USB1287 AVR
Full Speed interface allowing users to understand and experiment with the CryptoAuthentication
devices. Developers can use the provided 5-pin interface at the end of the board and can be used to
2
monitor the I C protocol. Atmel also offers a socketed board called the Atmel AT88CK101 for the
purpose of firmware development, which allows the user to try differently configured devices on a
target system. Typically, users will start with one of the USB Dongle kits for evaluation and part
selection and then migrate to the AT88CK101 for the purpose of development. Both kits run the ACES
configuration environment software package, which provides continuity from the evaluation to
development stage.
Complete support for this kit is available at www.atmel.com/cryptokits.
