    Board overview Figure 1-1 shows most of the available features on the board. For more detailed information on the Atmel XMEGA-C3 Xplained hardware, take a look at the Atmel application note “Atmel AVR1925: XMEGA-C3 Xplained Hardware User’s Guide”. Figure 1-1. Overview of XMEGA-C3 Xplained kit.
  • Page 4: Quick-Start

    Quick-start To be able to run the preprogrammed code, you need to connect the Atmel AVR XMEGA-C3 Xplained evaluation kit with a USB cable (standard A to mini-B or mini AB) to a PC or USB hub. Once the kit is powered, the display first shows explanation of how to use the demonstration; SW1 pressed will skip this explanation.
  • Page 5 Atmel AVR1940 XMEGA-C3 Xplained Software User Guide. To modify the example code or write new code and compile it, you need a toolchain for the Atmel AVR microcontrollers and an IDE to edit and debug code. Atmel provides both with Studio 6. More information about all available documenta- tion and tools is available in the Chapter 4.
  • Page 6: Programming The Kit

    If it is desired to program the kit without the help of the on-chip bootloader, or if debugging is required, it is possible to do this with various tools. The most common tools and how they can be connected are listed in Chapter 3. Atmel Stu- ®...
  • Page 7: Connecting The Kit

    Do not power the board without having the jumper next to the USB connector or an amperemeter mounted. When connecting the Atmel XMEGA-C3 Xplained to a PC, the operating system will request a driver file for installing the serial communication driver. This driver file is available in micro SD card which was written by the initial application firmware.
