3. Code Source Platforms
3.1 Code Generation from MCC
The source code of the AVR-IoT WA development board demo program is available for generation via the MPLAB
®
Code Configurator (MCC) plugin in MPLAB X IDE. To generate the code, the following software and the appropriate
versions should be installed.
Table 3-1. Software Versions

3.1.1 Generating the Demo
Once the board is connected to the host machine and MPLAB X is launched, see the description in the sections from
3.1.1.1 Creating the MPLAB X Project to 3.1.1.4 Generating MCC Files and Programming the Board for how to
generate a microcontroller code for it.
3.1.1.1 Creating the MPLAB X Project
1. Create a new stand-alone project (see Create New Project ) in MPLAB X using the ATmega4808 as the device
(see Selecting a Device ); the PKOB nano as a programming tool (see Selecting a Programmer ); and the XC8
or AVR GCC as a compiler (see Selecting a Compiler ). Finally, name the MPLAB project and its location (see
Naming a New Project ). The Start page of MPLAB X will then appear.
2. On the MPLAB X toolbar, look for and click the MPLAB
®
\ Code Configurator (MCC) Icon ( ) or click Tools
> Embedded > MPLAB X Code Configurator v3 Open/Close . For assistance with installation, refer to MPLAB
®
Code Configurator Page ( www.microchip.com/mplab/mplab-code-configurator )
3. Under Device Resources, scroll down to the Internet of Things header. Under Examples, double click on
AVR-IoT AWS Sensor Node (see MCC Start Page ).
