1. Introduction
1.1. Introduction to the Atmel-ICE
Atmel-ICE is a powerful development tool for debugging and programming ARM Cortex-M based Atmel
SAM and Atmel AVR microcontrollers with On-Chip Debug capability.
It supports:
• Programming and on-chip debugging of all Atmel AVR UC3 microcontrollers on both JTAG and
aWire interfaces
• Programming and on-chip debugging of all AVR XMEGA family devices on both JTAG and PDI 2-
wire interfaces
• Programming (JTAG and SPI) and debugging of all AVR 8-bit microcontrollers with OCD support on
both JTAG or debugWIRE interfaces
• Programming and debugging of all Atmel SAM ARM Cortex-M based microcontrollers on both SWD
and JTAG interfaces
• Programming (TPI) of all Atmel tinyAVR 8-bit microcontrollers with support for this interface
1.2. Atmel-ICE Features
• Fully compatible with Atmel Studio
• Supports programming and debugging of all Atmel AVR UC3 32-bit microcontrollers
• Supports programming and debugging of all 8-bit AVR XMEGA devices
• Supports programming and debugging of all 8-bit Atmel megaAVR
®
and tinyAVR devices with OCD
• Supports programming and debugging of all SAM ARM Cortex-M based microcontrollers
• Target operating voltage range of 1.62V to 5.5V
• Draws less than 3mA from target VTref when using debugWIRE interface and less than 1mA for all
other interfaces
• Supports JTAG clock frequencies from 32kHz to 7.5MHz
• Supports PDI clock frequencies from 32kHz to 7.5MHz
• Supports debugWIRE baud rates from 4kbit/s to 0.5Mbit/s
• Supports aWire baud rates from 7.5kbit/s to 7Mbit/s
• Supports SPI clock frequencies from 8kHz to 5MHz
• Supports UPDI baud rates from up to 750kbit/s
• Supports SWD clock frequencies from 32kHz to 10MHz
• USB 2.0 high-speed host interface
• ITM serial trace capture at up to 3MB/s
• Supports DGI SPI and USART interfaces when not debugging or programming
• Supports 10-pin 50-mil JTAG connector with both AVR and Cortex pinouts. The standard probe
cable supports AVR 6-pin ISP/PDI/TPI 100-mil headers as well as 10-pin 50-mil. An adapter is
available to support 6-pin 50-mil, 10-pin 100-mil, and 20-pin 100-mil headers. Several kit options
are available with different cabling and adapters.
