 ATtiny817 Xplained Mini

Preface

The ATtiny817 Xplained Mini evaluation kit is a hardware platform to evaluate the ATtiny817 microcontroller.

Supported by the Atmel Studio and MPLAB

®

 X integrated development platform, the kit provides easy access to the

features of the ATtiny817 and explains how to integrate the device into a custom design.

The Xplained Mini series evaluation kits include an on-board mini embedded debugger. No external tools are
necessary to program the ATtiny817.
