AVR-IoT WA Development Board User Guide
Preface
Introduction
The AVR-IoT WA Development Board is a small and easily expandable demonstration and development platform for
IoT solutions. Based on the AVR
®
microcontroller architecture and using Wi-Fi
®
technology, it is 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 WA Development Board features the following elements:
• The PICkit
™
On-Board (PKOB nano) supplies full programming and debugging support through Atmel Studio/
MPLAB
®
X IDE Communication Library. It also provides access to a serial port interface (serial to USB bridge)
and two logic analyzer channels (debug GPIO)
• On the PC, the on-board debugger acts as a mass storage interface device for easy drag-and-drop
programming, Wi-Fi configuration, and full access to the microcontroller application Command Line Interface
(CLI)
• A mikroBUS
™
socket allows for expansion of the board capabilities with the selection from 450+ sensors and
actuators options offered by MikroElektronika (
) via a growing portfolio of Click boards
™
• A light sensor used to demonstrate published data
• Microchip MCP9808 high-accuracy temperature sensor used to demonstrate published data
• Microchip MCP73871 Li-Ion/LiPo battery charger with power path management
