Atmel SAM4N Xplained Pro

Preface

The Atmel

SAM4N Xplained Pro evaluation kit is a hardware platform to

evaluate the ATSAM4N16C microcontroller.
Supported by the Atmel Studio integrated development platform, the kit provides

easy access to the features of the Atmel ATSAM4N16C and explains how to

integrate the device in a custom design.
The Xplained Pro MCU series evaluation kits include an on-board Embedded

Debugger, and no external tools are necessary to program or debug the

ATSAM4N16C.
The Xplained Pro extension kits offers additional peripherals to extend the

features of the board and ease the development of custom designs.
