5.1
Identifying Product ID and Revision
The revision and product identifier of Xplained Pro boards can be found in two ways, through Atmel Studio or
by looking at the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB.
By connecting a Xplained Pro MCU board to a computer with Atmel Studio running, an information window will
pop up. The first six digits of the serial number, which is listed under kit details, contain the product identifier
and revision. Information about connected Xplained Pro extension boards will also appear in the Atmel Kits
window.
The same information can be found on the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB. Most kits will print the
identifier and revision in plain text as
A09-nnnn\rr
where
nnnn
is the identifier and
rr
is the revision. Boards with
limited space have a sticker with only a QR-code which contains a serial number string.
The serial number string has the following format:
"nnnnrrssssssssss"
n = product identifier
r = revision
s = serial number
The kit identifier for PROTO1 Xplained Pro is 1890.
5.2
Revision 2
Revision 2 of PROTO1 Xplained Pro is the initial released version.
PROTO1 Xplained Pro boards with a serial number that ends with a number lower than 19048 may have a
wrong revision programmed into the Xplained Pro ID chip. This will only affect the information displayed by the
Atmel Kits extension in Atmel Studio. It will not affect the operation of the board.
