Introduction
The Atmel
®
CryptoAuth Xplained Pro (CAXPro) Evaluation Kit is an extension add-on board that can be
used with a selection of Atmel ARM
®
microcontrollers. The
Atmel CryptoAuthentication™ evaluation
board supports the Atmel ATSHA204A, ATECC508A, and ATAES132A crypto element devices (crypto
devices) in embedded design applications. The CAXPro has been developed to allow fast system
prototyping within the ARM Xplained Pro development environment. This kit gives engineers,
developers, and decision makers a tool to understand the device architecture and its uses for product
authentication, confidential file protection, perform two-factor logons, or prevent software piracy.
When connected to an ARM microcontroller and used with the Atmel Studio Framework (ASF), the
CAXPro will automatically detect the microcontroller type and automatically pull in the associated
software to support the crypto devices in embedded design applications.
The CAXPro allows fast system prototyping within the Atmel ARM Xplained Pro development
environment. It is a tool for engineers, developers, and decision makers to assist in understanding the
crypto device
’s architecture and its uses for product authentication, confidential file protection, two-factor
logons, and software piracy prevention.
Complete support for the CAXPro is available at
