1.1 Introduction to the Atmel-ICE

Atmel-ICE is a powerful development tool for debugging and programming Arm Cortex-M based Microchip SAM and Microchip AVR microcontrollers with On-Chip Debug capability.

It supports:

  • Programming and on-chip debugging of all Microchip AVR UC3 microcontrollers on both JTAG and aWire interfaces

  • Programming and on-chip debugging of all AVR XMEGA family devices on both JTAG and PDI two-wire interfaces

  • Programming (JTAG and SPI) and debugging of all AVR 8-bit microcontrollers with OCD support on both JTAG or debugWIRE interfaces

  • Programming and debugging of all Microchip SAM Arm Cortex-M based microcontrollers on both SWD and JTAG interfaces

  • Programming (TPI) of all Microchip tinyAVR 8-bit microcontrollers with support for this interface
