Getting Started
2.1.
Xplained Nano Quick Start
Steps to start exploring the Atmel Xplained Nano platform:
1.
Download
2.
Launch Atmel Studio
3.
Connect a USB cable (Standard-A to Micro-B or Micro-AB) between the PC and the USB port on
the kit
When the Xplained Nano kit is connected to your computer for the first time, the operating system will
perform a driver software installation. The driver file supports both 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP, Windows Vista
®
, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. The drivers for the kit are
.
Once the Xplained Nano board is powered the green status LED will blink and Atmel Studio will auto
detect which Xplained Nano board is connected. Atmel Studio will present relevant information like
datasheets and kit documentation. The ATtiny104 device is programmed by the on-board Mini Embedded
Debugger and therefore no external programmer tool is required.

Design Documentation and Relevant Links
The following list contains links to the most relevant documents and software for the ATtiny104 Xplained
Nano.
•
- Atmel Xplained evaluation kits are a series of easy-to-use evaluation kits for
Atmel microcontrollers and other Atmel products. For low pin-count devices the Xplained Nano
series provides a minimalistic solution with access to all I/O pins of the target microcontroller.
Xplained Mini kits are for medium pin-count devices and adds Arduino Uno compatible header
footprint and a prototyping area. Xplained Pro kits are for medium to high pin-count devices, they
features advanced debugging and standardized extensions for peripheral functions. All these kits
have on board programmers/debuggers which creates a set of low-cost boards for evaluation and
demonstration of features and capabilities of different Atmel products.
•
- Free Atmel IDE for development of C/C++ and assembler code for Atmel
microcontrollers.
•
- Atmel sample store where you can order samples of devices.
•
- Atmel Data Visualizer is a program used for processing and visualizing
data. Data Visualizer can receive data from various sources such as the Embedded Debugger Data
Gateway Interface found on Xplained Pro boards and COM ports.
