2. Getting Started
2.1 Xplained Nano Quick Start
Steps to start exploring the Microchip Xplained Nano platform:
1. Download Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X IDE.
2. Launch Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X IDE.
3. Optional: Use Atmel START to generate drivers and examples.
4. Write your application code.
5. Connect a USB cable (Standard-A to Micro-B or Micro-AB) between the PC and the debug 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 included with Atmel Studio/
Microchip MPLAB® X IDE.
Once the Xplained Nano board is powered, the green status LED will blink and Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X
IDE will auto-detect which Xplained Nano board is connected. Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X IDE will present
relevant information like data sheets and kit documentation. The ATtiny104 device is programmed by the on-board
Mini Embedded Debugger and therefore, no external programmer tool is required.
2.2 Design Documentation and Relevant Links
The following list contains links to the most relevant documents and software for the ATtiny104 Xplained Nano.
•Xplained Products - Xplained Evaluation Kits are a series of easy-to-use evaluation kits for Microchip

3. Xplained Nano
Xplained Nano is an evaluation platform that provides a set of small boards with access to all microcontroller I/O’s.
The platform consists of a series of low pin count Microcontroller (MCU) boards, which are integrated with Atmel
Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X IDE to present relevant user guides, application notes, data sheets, and example code
through Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X IDE. The platform also features a Virtual COM port for serial
communication to a host PC.
3.1 Mini Embedded Debugger
The ATtiny104 Xplained Nano contains the Mini Embedded Debugger (mEDBG) for on-board programming. 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 the ATtiny104. On ATtiny104 Xplained
Nano, the TPI interface is connected between the mEDBG and the ATtiny104.
The virtual COM port is connected to a UART on the ATtiny104 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 ATtiny104 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 ATtiny104. 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 ATtiny104 Xplained Nano. The table below shows how the LED is
controlled in different operation modes.
Table 3-1. mEDBG LED Control

Normal operation LED is not lit

debugging with the mEDBG
3.1.1 Xplained Nano Clock Output
The mEDBG outputs its CPU clock to the CLK pin 8, as shown in 3.3 Xplained Nano Standard Pinout. The clock
output can be used to feed the target device with a more accurate clock if this is needed for the application.
3.2 Power Sources
The kit can be powered by different sources. By default the kit will have a 5V supply and the voltage is taken directly
from the USB port through a 500 mA PTC fuse. The voltage from the USB connector can vary between 4.4V to 5.25V
(according to USB spec).
If other voltages are required, the kit must be disconnected from the USB to avoid damage or contention to the USB
power. The mEDBG must also be disconnected from the target section of the board. The board can be powered by
applying a voltage to one of the power connections on the board, according to the table below. To avoid any power
leakage through the mEDBG, this should also be disconnected by removing the resistors shown in Figure 3-3. For
placement of power connections, see 3.3 Xplained Nano Standard Pinout.

Power Connection Description
VUSB USB Voltage output when USB is connected (behind a PTC fuse). Can be used as power
input when USB is not used.
VREG Regulated voltage from VUSB. If the kit does not have a regulator, this is directly connected
to VUSB.
VCC Target voltage supply. By default, connected to VREG through a 0Ω resistor. Apply external
voltage here if the resistor is removed.

3.3 Xplained Nano Standard Pinout
Xplained Nano kits have a standard pinout in the mEDBG section, as shown in the tables and figure below. The
program/debug pins will change depending on the target interface but will remain at the same locations.
Xplained Nano kits have a target section where all I/O pins will be available and fanned out. Except for the VCC and
GND pins with fixed positions, there are no defined pin functions in this area. The first pin in the target area is the
VCC pin, located right next to the VREG pin of the standard section. The last pin is GND, and it is located next to the
CDC RX pin in the standard section. For reference, see the figure below.

3.4 Disconnecting mEDBG
The target device can be completely separated from the mEDBG, but this requires some small modifications to the
board using a soldering iron. By removing the resistors in the sections shown in the figure below, the mEDBG is
completely disconnected from the target controller. If desired to connect the mEDBG again, solder in 0Ω resistors or
solder in 100-mil headers on the header footprints and use wire-straps to connect the interfaces.

4.2 Current Measurement
The power to the target controller ATtiny104 is connected from the VREG supply to the targets VCC supply with a 0Ω
resistor, as shown in the figure below. To measure the power consumption of the device, remove the 0Ω resistor and
replace it with an ammeter. The ammeter can be connected between the VREG and VCC pads for easy
measurement.
Tip: To connect the two power domains again, solder in a 0Ω resistor on the footprint or a 100-mil header
on the header footprint at the edge of the board and place a jumper between VREG and VCC.

CAUTION
Removing the resistor while the kit is powered without an ammeter or jumper may cause the ATtiny104 to
be powered through its I/O pins. This may cause permanent damage to the device.
