3 Xplained Pro

The Xplained Pro is an evaluation platform that contains a series of microcontroller boards (evaluation kits) and extension boards. Atmel Studio/MPLAB is used to program and debug the microcontrollers on these boards. Atmel Studio includes an Advanced Software Framework (ASF) and Atmel START/MPLAB Harmony v3, which has drivers, demo code, and Data Visualizer that supports data streaming and advanced debugging.

The Xplained Pro Evaluation Kits can be connected to a wide range of Xplained Pro Extension Boards through standardized headers and connectors.

Curiosity Nano

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