4.3.2 Atmel AVR XMEGA OCD (JTAG and PDI Physical)

The Atmel AVR XMEGA OCD is otherwise known as PDI (Program and Debug Interface). Two physical interfaces (JTAG and PDI Physical) provide access to the same OCD implementation within the device. It supports the following features:

  • Complete program flow control

  • One dedicated program address comparator or symbolic breakpoint (reserved)

  • Four hardware comparators

  • Unlimited number of user program breakpoints (using BREAK instruction)

  • No limitation on system clock frequency
