42079C-MCU-05/2013 5 3. 3.1 Xplained Pro Xplained Pro is an evaluation platform that provides the full Atmel microcontroller experience. The platform consists of a series of Microcontroller (MCU) boards and extension boards that are integrated with Atmel Studio, have Atmel Software Framework (ASF) drivers and demo code, support data streaming and more. Xplained Pro MCU boards support a wide range of Xplained Pro extension boards that are connected through a set of standardized headers and connectors. Each extension board has an identification (ID) chip to uniquely identify which boards are mounted on a Xplained Pro MCU board. This information is used to present relevant user guides, application notes, datasheets and example code through Atmel Studio. Available Xplained Pro MCU and extension boards can be purchased in the Atmel Web Store1. Embedded Debugger The ATMEGA256RFR2 Xplained Pro contains the Atmel Embedded Debugger (EDBG) for on-board debugging. The EDBG is a composite USB device of 3 interfaces; a debugger, Virtual COM Port and Data Gateway Interface (DGI). In conjunction with Atmel Studio, the EDBG debugger interface can program and debug the ATmega256RFR2. On the ATMEGA256RFR2 Xplained Pro, the JTAG interface is connected between the EDBG and the ATmega256RFR2. The Virtual COM Port is connected to a UART port on the ATmega256RFR2 (see section Embedded Debugger implementation on page 14 for pinout), and provides an easy way to communicate with the target application through a simple terminal software. It offers variable baud rate, parity and stop bit settings. Note that the settings on the target device UART must match the settings given in the terminal software. The DGI consists of several physical data interfaces for communication with the host computer. Please, see section Embedded Debugger implementation on page 14 for available interfaces and pinout. Communication over the interfaces are bidirectional. It can be used to send events and values from the ATmega256RFR2, or as a generic printf-style data channel. Traffic over the interfaces can be timestamped on the EDBG for more accurate tracing of events. Note that timestamping imposes an overhead that reduces maximal throughput. The DGI uses a proprietary protocol, and is thus only compatible with Atmel Studio. The EDBG controls two LEDs on ATMEGA256RFR2 Xplained Pro, a power LED and a status LED. Table 3-1, EDBG LED control shows how the LEDs are controlled in different operation modes. Table 3-1. EDBG LED control Operation mode Normal operation Bootloader mode (idle) Bootloader mode (firmware upgrade) Power LED Power LED is lit when power is applied to the board. Status LED Activity indicator, LED flashes every time something happens on the EDBG. The power LED and the status LED blinks simultaneously. The power LED and the status LED blinks in an alternating pattern. For further documentation on the EDBG, see the EDBG User Guide. 3.2 Hardware identification system All Xplained Pro compatible extension boards have an Atmel ATSHA204 crypto authentication chip mounted. This chip contains information that identifies the extension with its name and some extra data. When an Xplained Pro extension board is connected to an Xplained Pro MCU board the information is read and sent to Atmel Studio. The Atmel Kits extension, installed with Atmel Studio, will give relevant information, code examples and links to relevant documents.

(according to USB spec) The kit will automatically detect which power sources are available and choose which one to use according to the following priority:
1. External power 2. Embedded debugger USB 3.3.1 Measuring ATmega256RFR2 power consumption As part of an evaluation of the ATmega256RFR2 it can be of interest to measure its power consumption. Because the device has a separate power plane (VCC_MCU_P3V3) on this board it is possible to measure the current consumption by measuring the current that is flowing into this plane. The VCC_MCU_P3V3 plane is connected via a jumper to the main power plane (VCC_TARGET_P3V3) and by replacing the jumper with an ampere meter it is possible to determine the current consumption. To locate the current measurement header, please refer to Figure 1-1, ATMEGA256RFR2 Xplained Pro evaluation kit overview.. Warning Do not power the board without having the jumper or an ampere meter mounted. This can cause the ATmega256RFR2 to be powered through its I/O pins and cause undefined operation of the device. 3.4 3.4.1 Standard headers and connectors Xplained Pro extension header All Xplained Pro kits have one or more dual row, 20 pin, 100mil extension headers. Xplained Pro MCU boards have male headers while Xplained Pro extensions have their female counterparts. Note that all pins are not always connected. However, all the connected pins follow the defined pin-out described in Table 3-4, Xplained Pro extension header. The extension headers can be used to connect a wide variety of Xplained Pro extensions to Xplained Pro MCU boards and to access the pins of the target MCU on Xplained Pro MCU board directly.

The addresses are "0b1001 A2 A1 A0" for the temperature sensor and "0b1010 A2 A1 A0" for the EEPROM. The address selection lines (A2, A1 and A0) of the temperature sensor chip is by default pulled high for A0 and A1 and low for A2, through 100k resistors, which makes the default addresses 0b1001011 and 0b1010011. Soldering the the straps on the front of the ATMEGA256RFR2 Xplained Pro board for An will alter that bit in the address to low or high. Each strap is marked in silkscreen with A0, A1 and A2 as shown in Figure 4-1, Temperature sensor TWI address.. When communicating with the EEPROM, part of the TWI address is used as a page address, for more details see the device datasheet5. Figure 4-1. Temperature sensor TWI address. 4.3 Embedded Debugger implementation The ATMEGA256RFR2 Xplained Pro contains an Embedded Debugger (EDBG) that can be used to program and debug the ATmega256RFR2 using JTAG. The Embedded Debugger also include a Virtual Com port interface over UART, an Atmel Data Gateway Interface over SPI and TWI and it monitors four of the ATmega256RFR2 GPIOs. Atmel Studio can be used as a front end for the Embedded Debugger. 4.3.1 JTAG The JTAG use five pins to communicate with the target.

42079C-MCU-05/2013 17 6. 6.1 Hardware revision history and known issues Identifying product ID and revision The revision and product identifier of Xplained Pro boards can be found in two ways, through Atmel Studio or by looking at the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB. By connecting a Xplained Pro MCU board to a computer with Atmel Studio running, an information window will pop up. The first 6 digits of the serial number, which is listed under kit details, contain the product identifier and revision. Information about connected Xplained Pro extension boards will also appear in the Atmel Kits window. The same information can be found on the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB. Most kits will print the identifier and revision in plain text as A09-nnnn\rr where nnnn is the identifier and rr is the revision. Boards with limited space have a sticker with only a QR-code which contains a serial number string. The serial number string has the following format:
"nnnnrrssssssssss"
n = product identifier r = revision s = serial number The kit identifier for ATMEGA256RFR2 Xplained Pro is 1784. 6.2 Revision 3 Revision 3 of ATMEGA256RFR2 Xplained Pro is the initial released version. Known issues The low and high byte of the 16-bit CRC value of the information in the user page might be swapped on serial numbers prior to 1885. Workaround: If it is neccssary to use the CRC value to verify the data in the user page, compare the calculated value with both the swapped and non-swapped version of the CRC value present in the user page.
