Getting Started
2.1.
Xplained Pro Quick Start
Steps to start exploring the Atmel Xplained Pro platform:
1.
Download
Atmel Studio
.
2.
Launch Atmel Studio.
3.
Connect the DEBUG USB port on the kit to the PC using a USB cable (Standard-A to Micro-B or
Micro-AB).
When the Xplained Pro MCU kit is connected to the computer for the first time, the operating system will
install the software driver. The driver file supports both 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP, Windows Vista
®
, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2012.
When the Xplained Pro MCU board is powered, the green power LED will glow and Atmel Studio will
auto-detect the specific Xplained Pro MCU- and extension board(s) that are connected. Atmel Studio will
present relevant information such as datasheets and kit documentation. The kit landing page in Atmel
Studio also has an option to launch the Atmel Software Framework (ASF) example applications for the kit.
The SAM HA1 device is programmed and debugged by the on-board Embedded Debugger and therefore
no external programmer or debugger tool is required.

The following list contains links to the most relevant documents and software for the SAM HA1G16A
Xplained Pro.
•
Xplained products
- 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.
