Preface

The ATmega4809 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit is a hardware platform to evaluate microcontrollers in the megaAVR

0-series Family. This board has the ATmega4809 microcontroller (MCU) mounted.

Supported by both MPLAB

X IDE and Atmel Studio 7, the board provides easy access to the features of the

ATmega4809 to explore how to integrate the device into a custom design.

The Curiosity Nano series of evaluation boards include an on-board debugger. No external tools are necessary to
program and debug the ATmega4809.

•

- Software to discover, configure, develop, program, and debug Microchip

microcontrollers.

•
