System Requirements
Operating system/software requirements:
z
Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/XP x64/VISTA
z
Internet Explorer 6.0 or later (Latest version is recommended)
Minimum Recommended hardware:
z
Intel Pentium 200MHz processor or equivalent

A free USB port on the host PC or on a self-powered USB hub
Optional: 10-15V DC/50mA power supply for powering STK600.
Quick Start
The STK600 starter kit is shipped with a device board with a ATmega2560 AVR microcontroller.
The STK600 can source power to the microcontroller trough the USB cable. Remember that the power available trough the USB cable is limited. If
your application attaches several peripherals to the STK600, you should use an external power source connected to the DC input socket on STK600.
The external power supply should be 9-15V DC with positive center connector.
The power switch turns the STK600 main power on and off. The red LED is lit when power is on, and the status LED will turn green. The green
LED beside the VTG jumper indicates that the target voltage is present.
An example application is described in the
Example Application
section. To evaluate the example, copy the code into a new project in AVR Studio.
Build the project (menu: Build) and program the resulting hex file to the target (menu: Tools/Program AVR)
To program the code using ISP:
z
Connect a 6 lead flat cable between the two headers marked "ISP"
z
Adjust target voltage from the HW settings tab. The voltage must be set in the range 1.8-5-5V.
z
Select ISP on the main tab and set ISP frequency to 200Khz or lower

z
Program the application hex file from the program tab
To run the demo:
z
Connect PORTB to LEDS using a 10 lead flat cable
z
Connect PORTD to SWITCHES using a 10 lead flat cable
z
Press one of the switches. The leds will display a blinking pattern, dependant of which switch is pressed
