1.1 megaAVR® 0-Series

The figure below shows the megaAVR® 0-series devices, laying out pin count variants and memory sizes:

• Vertical migration is possible without code modification, as these devices are fully pin and feature compatible.

• Horizontal migration to the left reduces the pin count and therefore the available features.

Relevant Devices

Devices with different Flash memory size typically also have different SRAM and EEPROM.

3.3 Get Source Code from Atmel | START

The example code is available through Atmel | START, which is a web-based tool that enables configuration of application code through a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The code can be downloaded for both Atmel Studio 7.0 and IAR Embedded Workbench® via the direct example code-link(s) below or the BROWSE EXAMPLES button on the Atmel | START front page.

Atmel | START web page: http://microchip.com/start

Example Code

Finding example code for devices in the megaAVR 0-series, can be done by searching for the device name, e.g. ATmega4809, in the Atmel | START example browser.

Press User guide in Atmel | START for details and information about example projects. The User guide button can be found in the example browser, and by clicking the project name in the dashboard view within the Atmel | START project configurator.

Atmel Studio

Download the code as an .atzip file for Atmel Studio from the example browser in Atmel | START, by clicking DOWNLOAD SELECTED EXAMPLE. To download the file from within Atmel | START, click EXPORT PROJECT followed by DOWNLOAD PACK.

Double-click the downloaded .atzip file and the project will be imported to Atmel Studio 7.0.

IAR Embedded Workbench

For information on how to import the project in IAR Embedded Workbench, open the Atmel | START user guide, select Using Atmel Start Output in External Tools, and IAR Embedded Workbench. A link to the Atmel | START user guide can be found by clicking About from the Atmel | START front page or Help And Support within the project configurator, both located in the upper right corner of the page.
