4.4 Embedded Debugger Implementation

The ATtiny817 Xplained Pro contains an Embedded Debugger (EDBG), which can be used to program and debug the ATtiny817 using Unified Program Debug Interface (UPDI). The Embedded Debugger also includes a Virtual COM Port interface over UART, a Data Gateway Interface over SPI, I²C, and two ATtiny817 GPIOs. The kit also includes an XAM extension processor to the Embedded Debugger for on-board current measurement. Atmel Studio/MPLAB® X can be used as a front-end for the Embedded Debugger.
