5.2 Connecting to an aWire Target

The Atmel AVR ONE! can interface with the Atmel AVR UC3 L family of devices using the single-wire 'aWire' interface. The recommended pinout for the aWire interface is shown in Figure 6-5.

Be sure to use the correct orientation of the 6-pin header when connecting the AVR ONE! to the target application PCB. The stand-off adapters (provided) can be used to connect the AVR ONE! probe to both 100-mil and 50-mil target application connectors.

The aWire interface only requires one data line in addition to VCC and GND. The recommended 6-pin pinout is based on existing AVR interfaces, as well as the resources on the AVR ONE! debugger itself. When connecting to a target that does not have the standard 6-pin header, you can use the squid cable between the AVR ONE! 10-pin JTAG connector on the probe and the target board. Three connections are required, as described in the table below.
