Getting Started
2.1.
Xplained Pro Quick Start
Three steps to start exploring the Atmel Xplained Pro platform:
1.
Download
2.
Launch Atmel Studio.
3.
Connect I/O1 Xplained Pro to an Xplained Pro MCU board and connect a USB cable to the DEBUG
USB port on the Xplained Pro MCU board.
When the Xplained Pro MCU kit is connected to your computer for the first time, the operating system will
perform a driver software installation. The driver file supports both 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP, Windows Vista
®
, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
Once the Xplained Pro MCU board is powered the green power LED will be lit and Atmel Studio will auto
detect which Xplained Pro MCU- and extension board(s) are connected. Atmel Studio will present
relevant information like datasheets and kit documentation. The kit landing page in Atmel Studio also has
the option to launch Atmel Software Framework (ASF) example applications for the kit. The target device
is programmed and debugged by the on-board Embedded Debugger and therefore no external
programmer or debugger tool is needed.
