Atmel EVK1101 Getting Started Guide

AVR32 EVK1101 Getting Started Guide

Introduction

Installation

The EVK1101 provides a complete development environment for the AT32UC3B micro­controller series from Atmel. The device is pre-loaded with an application, called the
Control Panel.

The Control Panel application is a demonstration application. Its purpose is to scan on­board sensors and actuators data and events (data acquisition through ADC channels)
and make these available to a PC application (known as «AVR32 Control Panel»)
through a simple USB cable.

In the following chapter, the term «AVR32 UC3B Control Panel PC Demo» refers to the
application running on the PC, while «AVR32 UC3B Control Panel Firmware» is the
application running on the EVK1101.

First, the PC application shall be installed prior to connecting the EVK1101.

The application needs a Java Runtime Environment (JRE 5.0 or higher)..

 If you already have installed a JRE, then launch the

«AVR32 UC3B Control Panel PC Demo Installer.exe»
application and follow the instruction.

 If you don’t have a JRE, launch the «JRE - AVR32

UC3B Control Panel PC Demo Installer.exe». This will
also install a JRE 5.0 Update 6.

Both applications are available in the AVR32 Technical Library CD bundled with the
EVK1101 and on atmel.com/avr32.

When the installation is done, the EVK1101 can be connected to the PC.

The 4 LEDS shall shortly blink: the Control Panel is up & running.

Driver installation

For the first connection of the EVK1101 on the PC, the operating system will detect a
new peripheral. This will open a new hardware installation window. Choose «No, not this
time” to connect to Windows Update for this installation and click ‘Next’:
