4 Curiosity Nano

Curiosity Nano is an evaluation platform that provides a set of small boards with access to most of the microcontrollers I/Os. The platform consists of a series of low pin count microcontroller (PIC®/AVR® MCU) boards, which are integrated with Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB X to present relevant user guides, application notes, data sheets, and example codes. The platform features a Virtual COM port (CDC) for serial communication to a host PC and a Data Gateway Interface (DGI) GPIO.

Xplained Pro

The Xplained Pro is an evaluation platform that contains a series of microcontroller boards (evaluation kits) and extension boards. Atmel Studio/MPLAB X is used to program and debug the microcontrollers on these boards. Atmel Studio includes an Advanced Software Framework (ASF) and Atmel START/The 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.
