4.4 Embedded Debugger Implementation
The ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro contains an Embedded Debugger (EDBG), which can be used to program and debug the ATtiny3217 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 ATtiny3217 GPIOs. The kit also includes an XAM extension processor to the Embedded Debugger for on-board current measurement. Atmel Studio can be used as a front-end for the Embedded Debugger.
