Introduction

2. Getting Started

2.1 Xplained Mini Quick Start

Steps to start exploring the Xplained Mini platform:

1. Download Atmel Studio/MPLAB® X IDE.

2. Launch Atmel Studio/MPLAB® X.

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 Mini 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 included with Atmel Studio/MPLAB® X.

Once the Xplained Mini board is powered, the green status LED will blink, and Atmel Studio/MPLAB® X will

autodetect which Xplained Mini board is connected. Atmel Studio/MPLAB® X will present relevant information like

data sheets and kit documentation. The ATmega168PB device is programmed and debugged by the on-board Mini

Embedded Debugger and, therefore, no external programmer or debugger tool is required.

2.3 Programming and Debugging

2.3.1 Programming the Target Using mEDBG

Using the Embedded Debugger on the ATmega168PB Xplained Mini board to program the ATmega168PB.

1. Connect the Xplained Mini USB to the PC.

2. Go to Atmel Studio: Click the Tools tab, select Device Programming, and select the connected mEDBG as

Tool with Device as ATmega168PB and Interface to ISP, click Apply.

Getting Started

3. Select “Memories”, locate the source .hex or .elf file, and click Program.

4. NOTE: If a previous debug session was not closed by selecting “Disable debugWIRE and Close” in the Debug

menu, the DWEN fuse will be enabled, and the target will still be in debug mode, i.e., it will not be possible to

program the target using the ISP interface.

5. If the source file contains fuse settings, select “Production file” and upload the .elf file to program the fuses.

6. Select “Fuses” to program the fuses manually. Set the fuse(s) and click “Program”. Recommended fuse

settings:

Getting Started

2.3.2 Debugging the Target Using mEDBG

Using the Embedded Debugger on the ATmega168PB Xplained Mini board to debug the ATmega168PB via

debugWIRE.

1. Start Atmel Studio.

2. Connect the Xplained Mini USB to the PC.

3. Open your project.

4. Click the “Project” tab and select the project “properties”, click the “Tools” tab, and select mEDBG as debugger

and debugWIRE as interface.

5. Click the “Debug” tab and select “Start Debugging and Break”.

6. Atmel Studio will display an error message if the DWEN fuse in the ATmega168PB is not enabled, click YES to

make Studio set the fuse using the ISP interface.

7. A debug session is started with a break in main, and the debugging can start.

8. To exit debug mode, select “Disable debugWIRE and Close” in the Debug tab. This will disable the DWEN

fuse.

Info:

If debug mode is not exited by selecting “Disable debugWIRE and Close” in the Debug menu, the DWEN

fuse will be enabled, and the target will still be in debug mode, i.e., it will not be possible to program the

target using ISP.

If any other CPU CLK than the external CLK supplied by the mEDBG is used, the debugWIRE is not

guaranteed to work.

Applying a signal to J202/RESET (the RESET_SENSE signal) while debugging may result in unexpected

behavior. This signal is NOT available during a debugging session because the RESET line is actively

used by the debugWIRE interface.

2.3.3 Programming the Target Using an External Programmer

How to program the target ATmega168PB using the AVR® JTAGICE mkII, JTAGICE3, Atmel-ICE, or other

programmers.

1. Connect the External Programmer USB to the PC.

2. Connect the External Programmer to the ATmega168PB Xplained Mini board ISP connector.

3. Go to Atmel Studio: Click the Tools tab, select Device Programming, and select the External Programmer

connected as Tool with Device as ATmega168PB and Interface to ISP, click Apply.

4. Select “Memories”, locate the source .hex or .elf file, and click Program.

2.3.4 Programming the ATmega32U4 Using an External Programmer

How to program the ATmega32U4 using the AVR JTAGICE mkII, JTAGICE3, Atmel-ICE, or other programmers.

1. Connect the External Programmer USB to the PC.

2. Connect the External Programmer to the ATmega168PB Xplained Mini board JTAG connector.

3. Go to Atmel Studio: Click the Tools tab, select Device Programming, and select the connected mEDBG as

Tool with Device as ATmega32U4 and Interface to JTAG, click Apply.

4. Select “Memories”, locate the source .hex or .elf file, and click Program.

5. Select “Fuses” to program the fuses manually. Set the fuse(s) and click “Program”. Recommended fuse

settings:

WARNING

Changing the firmware in the ATmega32U4 will remove the programming and debugging capabilities of the

mEDBG. If the EEPROM is altered, the mEDBG may not be recognized by Atmel Studio anymore.

2.3.5 Programming the ATmega32U4 Using a Bootloader

This section describes how to use the bootloader to program the ATmega32U4.

1. Launch Atmel Studio.

3. Xplained Mini

Xplained Mini is an evaluation platform that provides a set of small boards with access to all microcontroller I/Os. The

platform consists of a series of low-pin-count Microcontroller (MCU) boards, which are integrated with Atmel Studio to

present relevant user guides, application notes, datasheets, and example code. The platform also features a Virtual

COM port for serial communication to a host PC.

3.1 Mini Embedded Debugger

The ATmega168PB Xplained Mini contains the Mini Embedded Debugger (mEDBG) for on-board programming and

debugging. The mEDBG is a composite USB device of two interfaces: A debugger and a virtual COM port.

Together with Atmel Studio, the mEDBG debugger interface can program and debug the ATmega168PB. On

ATmega168PB Xplained Mini, the ISP/dW interface is connected between the mEDBG and the ATmega168PB.

The virtual COM port is connected to a UART on the ATmega168PB and provides an easy way to communicate with

the target application through the terminal software. It offers variable baud rate, parity, and Stop bit settings.

Note: The settings on the ATmega168PB must match the settings given in the terminal software.

Info: The virtual COM port in the mEDBG requires the terminal software to set the Data Terminal Ready

(DTR) signal to enable the UART pins connected to the ATmega168PB. If the DTR signal is not enabled,

the UART pins on the mEDBG are kept in high-z (tri-state), rendering the COM port unusable. The DTR

signal is automatically set by some terminal software, but it may have to be manually enabled in the target

terminal.

The mEDBG controls one status LED on the ATmega168PB Xplained Mini. The table below shows how the LED is

controlled in different operation modes.

Table 3-1. mEDBG LED Control

debugging with the mEDBG

3.1.1 Xplained Mini Clock Output

The mEDBG outputs its CPU clock on a pin. This clock pin is connected to the ATmega168PB clock input and is

used to have a synchronous clock with the mEDBG to enable debugging through debugWIRE.

To disconnect the external clock to the ATmega168PB, a 0Ω resistor or strap has to be removed from the footprint, as

shown in the figure below (R109).
