AVR-IoT WG Development Board User Guide
Preface
The AVR-IoT WG development board is a small and easily expandable demonstration and development
platform for IoT solutions, based on the AVR
®
microcontroller architecture using Wi-Fi
®
technology. It was
designed to demonstrate that the design of a typical IoT application can be simplified by partitioning the
problem into three blocks:
•
Smart - represented by the ATmega4808 microcontroller
•
Secure - represented by the ATECC608A secure element
•
Connected - represented by the WINC1510 Wi-Fi controller module
The AVR-IoT WG development board features a USB interface chip Nano Embedded Debugger (nEDBG)
that provides access to a serial port interface (serial to USB bridge), a mass storage interface for easy
‘drag and drop’ programming, configuration and full access to the AVR microcontroller UPDI interface for
programming and debugging directly from Microchip MPLAB
®
X IDE and the Atmel
®
Studio 7.0 IDE. The
AVR-IoT WG development board comes preprogrammed and configured for demonstrating connectivity
to the Google Cloud IoT Core.
The AVR-IoT WG development board features two sensors:
•
A light sensor
•
A high-accuracy temperature sensor - MCP9808
Additionally, a mikroBUS
™
connector is provided to expand the board capabilities with 450+ sensors and
actuators offered by MikroElektronika (
) via a growing portfolio of Click boards
