2. Getting Started
2.1 Xplained Pro Quick Start
Steps to start exploring the Xplained Pro platform:
1. Download and install Atmel Studio.
2. Launch Atmel Studio.
3. Connect the ATBTLC1000 Xplained Pro extension board with an Xplained Pro MCU board and
connect a USB cable to the DEBUG USB port on the Xplained Pro MCU board.
When the Xplained Pro MCU kit is connected to the computer for the first time, the operating system
installs the driver software automatically. This driver supports 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft
Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2012.
When the Xplained Pro MCU board is powered, the power LED (green) glows, and Atmel Studio
automatically detects the specific Xplained Pro MCU and extension board(s) that are connected. The
landing page of the kit in the Atmel Studio has an option to launch the Atmel Software Framework (ASF)
and the Atmel START example application codes for the kit. The target device is programmed and
debugged by the on-board embedded debugger and therefore no external programmer or debugger tool
is required.

2.2 Design Documentation and Relevant Links
The following list contains links to the most relevant documents and software for the ATBTLC1000
Xplained Pro.
• Xplained Products - Xplained evaluation kits are a series of easy-to-use evaluation kits for Microchip
microcontrollers and other Microchip products.
– Xplained Nano - used for low pin count devices and provides a minimalistic solution with access
to all I/O pins of the target microcontroller.
– Xplained Mini - used for medium pin count devices and adds Arduino Uno compatible header
footprint and a prototyping area.
– Xplained Pro - used for medium-to-high pin count devices that features advanced debugging
and standardized extensions for peripheral functions.
Note: All the above kits have on-board programmers/debuggers, which creates a set of low-cost
boards for evaluation and demonstration of features and capabilities of different Microchip products.
• Atmel Studio - Free IDE for the development of C/C++ and assembler code for microcontrollers.
• EDBG User Guide - User guide containing more information about the on-board Embedded
Debugger.
• Data Visualizer - Data Visualizer is a program used for processing and visualizing data. The Data
Visualizer can receive data from various sources such as the EDBG Data Gateway Interface found
on Curiosity Nano and Xplained Pro boards and COM Ports.
• Advanced Software Framework - MCU software library providing a large collection of embedded
software for MCUs.
• Design Documentation - Package containing CAD source, schematics, BOM, assembly drawings, 3D
plots, layer plots, and so on.

3. Xplained Pro
Xplained Pro is an evaluation platform which contains a series of microcontroller boards (evaluation kits)
and extension boards. Atmel Studio is used to program and debug the microcontrollers on these boards.
Atmel Studio includes Advanced Software Framework (ASF) and Atmel START, which has drivers and
demo code, and Data Visualizer, which supports data streaming and advanced debugging. Xplained Pro
evaluation kits can be connected to a wide range of Xplained Pro extension boards through standardized
headers and connectors. Xplained Pro extension boards have identification (ID) chips to uniquely identify
which boards are connected to the Xplained Pro evaluation kits.
3.1 Hardware Identification System
All Xplained Pro extension boards come with an identification chip (ATSHA204A CryptoAuthentication
chip) to uniquely identify the boards that are connected to the Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit. This chip
contains information that identifies the extension with its name and some extra data. When an Xplained
Pro extension is connected to an Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit, the information is read and sent to the
Atmel Studio. The following table shows the data fields stored in the ID chip with example content.

Maximum current [mA] uint16_t 30
3.2 Xplained Pro Standard Extension Header
All Xplained Pro kits have many dual-row, 20-pin, 100 mil extension headers. The Xplained Pro MCU
boards have male headers, while the Xplained Pro extensions have their female counterparts. The
following table provides the pin description of all the connected pins.
Info: Not all pins are always connected on all extension headers.
The extension headers can be used to connect a variety of Xplained Pro extensions to Xplained Pro MCU
boards or to access the pins of the target microcontroller on the Xplained Pro boards.
