There are two kinds of cables, which can be used to connect the Atmel-ICE kit to AVR or SAM chip programming interface pins, as shown in the figure below, provided in the full kit:
- One 50-mil 10-pin IDC flat cable with 6-pin ISP and 10-pin connectors
- One 50-mil 10-pin mini squid cable with 10 x 100-mil sockets
For most purposes, the 50-mil 10-pin IDC flat cable can be used, connecting either natively to its 10-pin or 6-pin connectors, or connecting via the adapter board, as shown in the figure below. Three adapters are provided on one small PCBA. The following adapters are included:
- One 100-mil 10-pin JTAG/SWD adapter
- One 100-mil 20-pin SAM JTAG/SWD adapter
- One 50-mil 6-pin SPI/debugWIRE/PDI/aWire adapter
To assemble your Atmel-ICE into its default configuration, connect the 10-pin 50-mil IDC cable to the unit, as shown in the figures below. Be sure to orient the cable so that the red wire (pin 1) on the cable aligns with the triangular indicator on the blue belt of the enclosure. The cable should connect upwards from the unit. Be sure to connect to the port corresponding to the pinout of your target, AVR or SAM.
