General Description
Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been used for more than a decade and continues to provide more and more benefits,
primarily in the areas of access control (employee badge entry), animal ID (ear tags or pet injectables), and auto immobilizer
(theft prevention); RFID can be used for many additional applications as well. The wide variety of transponder features now
offered makes it possible to maximize return on equity for prospective systems. An RFID reader or interrogator functions by
passing an alternating current through an air core coil and thus generating an electromagnetic field. The magnetic field provides
all of the power needed to operate the tag or transponder. This source of power eliminates the need for a separate power
supply on the tag and thereby reduces the size, cost, and any placement constraints. In this case, the RF field operates at
125/134.2kHz. The tag responds by manipulating this RF field.

Getting Started
The Atmel® U2270-EK2 kit is based on the EM4095 reader chip solution which superseded the discontinued Atmel U2270B
device.
The reader system consists of the reader board (RB) and the Atmel ATA2270-EK2 mainboard (MB). The Atmel ATA2270-EK2
evaluation kit is designed to allow rapid setup and evaluation of a working RFID system. The following paragraphs provide
guidance on hardware assembly, menu navigation, and writing and reading a tag.
2.1
Hardware Assembly
The steps for assembling the hardware are listed below.
1. Ensure that the reader board is connected to the mainboard. With the mainboard oriented so that the power connector is at the lower left corner, the reader board should be oriented so that the antenna connector is on the lower right
side.
2.2
2.
Connect the supplied 125/134.2kHz antenna. This is an air core coil wound around a plastic housing.
3.
Connect to power using the supplied source. This is a 12V supply capable of providing 800mA. This supply comes
with interchangeable universal plugs to support operation in the US, UK, Europe, and Asia.
4.
The evaluation kit is now ready for operation. To begin, move the power switch towards the power supply plug-in (ON
position).
Navigating the Menus
The F1 to F4 buttons are used for jumping back to the previous menu. A four-way joystick is used for all other navigation. The
“Enter” command is accomplished by pressing the center of the joystick.
2.3
Initializing a Tag
Note:
The following process contains no verification of success; it is an attempt only. Ensure that a valid tag type is present in the RF field when performing this step.
When beginning to work with a new tag for the first time, the tag must be placed into a fixed configuration. Choosing “RFID”,
then the “Write Configurations” menu, and then selecting YES accomplishes this. When ENTER is pressed, the system
attempts to write the appropriate configuration block data into the selected tag type. The configuration block (normally block 0)
specifies the data rate, modulation type, number of blocks returned, synchronization type, and other features the tag is capable
of supporting. This only needs to be done when the state of the tag is unknown.
2.4
Writing a Tag
The steps for writing to a tag are listed below. If there is a problem, refer to Section 5 to ensure all initial values are set in the
reader system.
1. Ensure that the correct tag type is selected in the “RFID>Select Reader/Tag” menu.
2.
Place the tag being evaluated in the RF field. Ensure proper orientation of the tag and reader antennas. The two
antenna coils must be parallel to each other for the magnetic field to couple and provide adequate power.
3.
Go to the “RFID>Read/Write” menu and select “One Block” in the write column.
4.
Choose the desired block. Move the joystick up or down to change the block number.
5.
Move to the thirty-two bit number shown in the data column.
6.
Use the joystick to set any hex number (edit high and low nibbles) as desired. Press ENTER to exit.
7.
Press ENTER again to perform the write operation. Verification of the write operation is performed and audio feedback is provided. A message window also pops up briefly showing the status of the operation.

2.5
Reading a Tag
The steps for reading a tag are listed below. If there is a problem, refer to Section 5. “Troubleshooting” on page 23 to ensure all
initial values are set in the reader system.
1. Ensure that the correct tag type is selected in the “RFID>Select Reader/Tag” menu.
2.
Place the tag being evaluated in the RF field. Ensure proper orientation of the tag and reader antennas.
3.
Go to the “RFID>Read/Write” menu and select “Manual” in the read column.
4.
Press ENTER to perform the read operation.
5.
Observe the contents of the tag fields on the LCD. Audio feedback is used to signify the status of the read attempt. A
beep confirms that a read operation was successful.
Caution:
6.
If the power supply is disconnected before the power switch is moved to OFF, the kit is NOT in a low power state
and the button cell battery drains very quickly.
After finishing, move the mainboard power switch away from the power supply plug-in (OFF position) to disconnect
from the main power. If the unit is not going to be used in the near future, disconnect the power supply as well.

Atmel ATA2270-EK2 Mainboard
Components of the Atmel® ATA2270-EK2 mainboard are shown in Figure 3-2 and discussed in the following subparagraphs.
Figure 3-2. Atmel ATA2270-EK2 Mainboard
3.2.1
Board
The MB was designed as a generic interface platform to support Atmel RFID reader products. This board makes it convenient to
work with RFID and allows the reader boards to be limited to the most basic RF circuits. All user interface and audio/visual
feedback is contained in this board. Gerber files for this two-layer board are available on request.
3.2.2
LCD
The large graphic display provides an evaluation environment. Because the display supports graphics as well as text, advanced
control features can be implemented. The display can be used during prototype development of the end system. The size of the
display (128x64) provides a large screen area, maximizing the amount of data visible without having to scroll. Menu options can
be used to adjust contrast and brightness depending on the environment and viewing angle.
3.2.3
Reader Board Connections
The reader board connector’s twenty pins allow the MB to interface with and control the reader hardware. These pins also
supply the reader board with two potential power rails. Features included are TWI, SPI, ADC (3), and timer I/O. The pinout is
listed in Table 3-1 on page 8.

AVR Microprocessor
The entire RFID reader system is controlled by one AVR® micro. The Atmel® Atmega128 provides large Flash memory for
future upgrades (the initial release uses 30 percent of the 128K Flash). Additional features can be added in the future as well as
providing a system to develop custom software using the kit hardware. This microcontroller also includes 4K of EEPROM that is
used to store the kit setup state. This makes it possible to resume a previous evaluation state after a power cycle without having
to reset all the variables.
3.2.5
PC Serial Connector
A serial port connector is located under the LCD. This connector is enabled in a firmware upgrade to be released on the Atmel
website at a later time (http://www.atmel.com).
3.2.6
Power Supply and Switch
The MB provides power through the reader board connectors to both the control/display portion as well as the RB. The kit
contains a wall power adaptor that supplies 12V and can be used around the world with interchangeable plugs. The power
supply circuits on the MB protect against reverse bias and feed a 5V voltage regulator.
Caution:
If the power supply is disconnected before the power switch is moved to OFF, the kit is NOT in a low power state
and the button cell battery drains very quickly.
The second function of the power supply circuit is to provide a battery (3V Li) backup supply for the AVR microcontroller. This
maintains the real-time clock (RTC) function while the kit is not supplied with main power. The power switch is a “soft” switch
because it does not disconnect the power supply directly. The power switch controls a microcontroller I/O line that, when set
low, places the kit system into low-power sleep mode with the RTC still active. The main power can then be removed. In this
state the battery should last for more than two years.
Note:
3.2.7
If main power is removed before the power switch is turned off, the kit is NOT in a low-power state and the button
cell battery drains very quickly. This does not compromise the RFID functionality of the kit and the system can still
be used with main power applied.
Joystick and F4 Button
The joystick and F1 to F4 buttons allow menu navigation and selection activation. Provisions are made for additional function
switches to accommodate later expansion of the kit. These function buttons execute the “Return to Previous Menu” function.
The joystick allows navigation in four directions. Navigate the menus by moving the joystick in the desired direction. The joystick
also acts as an “Enter” button when it is pressed down with the joystick centered. When pressed, the menu item currently
selected is activated.

3.2.8
Interconnecting to the Atmel AVR STK600 Starter Kit and Development System and the JTAGICE MKII
Programming the Flash and EEPROM memories can be accomplished using standard Atmel® AVR® tools. There are two
interface connectors provided to accomplish this. The 6-pin connector can be used with the ISP header on the STK600; the 10pin connector is a dedicated JTAG connector and can be used with the JTAGICE MKII. Both of these use AVR Studio to
interface with and program the evaluation kit. The pinout of both connectors is shown in Table 3-2 and Table 3-3.

Atmel ATA2270-U2 Reader Board
Assembly of the Atmel® ATA2270-EK2 reader board is shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3. Atmel ATA2270-U2 Reader Board
3.2.10 LED Section
Five status LEDs are provided for quickly indicating the status of the RFID reader. The first two LEDs show the power supply
state. The next three indicate the state of the RF field being generated by the reader. Viewed from left to right, the LEDs show
regulated power, Reader IC active mode, RF field activity, and two-stage frequency tuning settings.
3.2.11 Power Section
The reader board is supplied by 5V regulated voltage fed from the MB via the lower right U2-2 connector. The reader remains in
power-down (sleep) mode if the SHD input is pulled to high level.
3.2.12 Reader Section
There are four main areas in the reader of the RB: the antenna resonant circuit, the Q factor, the input filter circuit, and the
frequency tuning circuit.
The antenna resonant circuit: This circuit sets the self resonant point for the reader antenna. The resonant LC circuit also allows
the antenna voltage to increase above the driving voltage. Resonance is accomplished by adding a series capacitance to the
inductance provided by the external antenna coil. A series resistance is also used to limit the current and set the antenna Q
factor.
A method for tuning the antenna circuit is to start with an LC combination and drive this circuit with a square wave from a
function generator. Monitor the antenna voltage at the capacitor connection point and attempt to get the peak voltage to occur at
125/134.2kHz. Increasing the frequency of the function generator to greater than 125/134.2kHz results in greater voltage,
making additional capacitance necessary. If a lower frequency has greater voltage, this means there is too much capacitance in
the system.
Input filter circuit: The data response from a transponder is modulated directly on the carrier frequency. In order to decode this
signal, it must first be “harvested” from the carrier. A capacitive voltage divider shifts the modulated high-voltage carrier to a
suitable level for processing by the demodulator input.
Atmel ATAN0083 [APPLICATION NOTE]
9321A–RFID–06/13
10
Frequency tuning circuit: The maximum range of communication is achieved when the resonant frequency of the reader
matches the resonant frequency of the transponder. Higher Q factors for the antenna, while increasing the range, also make the
frequency match even more important. Because the tag antenna is fixed in most cases, this circuit allows trimming of the
resonant frequency of the reader antenna through software control. There are four steps provided in increments of
approximately 2kHz. The current selection is displayed on the status LEDs in a binary manner.
The frequency is tuned by adding capacitance to the resonant circuit. This is accomplished using high-voltage (200V) MOSFET
devices. The capacitor can be connected to ground through the FET using software. This lowers the resonant frequency of the
circuit. With two of these structures, there are four possible combinations to choose from.
3.2.13 Antenna Coil
Included in the kit is an air core antenna coil shown in Figure 3-4. This is an external antenna so that a custom antenna can be
interfaced with the RB if other antennas are to be experimented with. This antenna is wound to give an inductance of
approximately 800µH. If a different antenna is used, it should either meet this number or the capacitors on the RB should be
adjusted to make the circuit resonant. The connector is a locking type because of the high-voltage differential placed on the
antenna.
Figure 3-4. The Air Core Antenna
The area of the antenna is an important factor in the range the system can achieve. There is always a trade-off between
available area and range required. In addition, the area the transponder antenna encloses also affects the system range. This
antenna attempts to achieve a compromise suitable for a simple system. However, this only serves as a guideline reference and
is not the ultimate form factor for an antenna.

Some transponders described in this document are obsolete and no longer available on the market. Nevertheless, they are
supported by the RFID kit, allowing customers to evaluate and test existing applications.
The transponders (tags) consist of the following items: an IC, a capacitor, and an antenna coil. There are several options
provided by Atmel, from bare ICs on a wafer all the way to a complete transponder in a plastic package. Included in the kit are
several form factors for these transponders. These are not the only options available, but intended as a guideline reference for
what can be achieved.
3.3.1
Atmel ATA5577
The Atmel ATA5577 is the latest Atmel 125kHz transponder. This transponder is equipped with a configurable analog front end
and is reverse-compatible to the now obsolete Atmel ATA5551, ATA5557, and ATA5567 types in the most commonly used
modes. This enables the tag to be configured to work in a variety of circumstances such as a very high Q configuration. In
addition, this allows the Atmel ATA5577 to have industry-leading performance when used in an ISO11784/785 configuration.
This device should be considered for all new designs. Please visit the Atmel website for more information on what is required
when configuring the analog front end supported by the kit in the firmware (http://www.atmel.com).

3.3.2
Atmel ATA5575 Read/Write Device
The Atmel ATA5575 is an optimized subset of the Atmel ATA5577. Two versions are designed to address two general LF-RFID
applications:
● The Atmel ATA5575M1 is intended for the widely used unique format
●
The Atmel ATA5575M2 is intended for the animal ID segment according to ISO-11784 and ISO-11785 but also for access
control applications in FSK modulation also knows as Q5 mode
This transponder consists of one configuration byte and 15 bytes of user memory.
The evaluation kit is set to the typical M1/M2 configuration. This ensures that if a tag is configured properly it will be read by the
system with very little difficulty. If it is not sure whether the tag is properly configured, write the proper configuration using the
“Write Configuration” menu before using the other menu options.
3.3.3
Atmel TK5530 (Obsolete)

Using RFID
The menu settings are explained in more detail in the following paragraphs.
4.2.1
Select Reader/Tag Menu
In order to begin the evaluation of the Atmel® family of RFID devices, a reader and tag type must be chosen. Atmel currently
uses one reader interface equipped with the EM4095 device. This is selected by default. To select a transponder, scroll
up/down using the joystick. The currently selected tag is indicated by a check mark. To change the selected tag, select it and
press ENTER. The new check mark position shows that the change was successful.
Note:
It is very important to choose the desired reader/tag combination before proceeding. The other menu options may
differ depending on the selections made in this menu.
The selected tag type is displayed in the header for easy reference in the subsequent menus.

4.2.2
Reader Options Menu
This provides control over the selected reader hardware. Only the EM4095 reader IC is currently supported. This menu allows
control of the RF field, demodulated output, standby mode, and antenna resonant frequency.
● RF field: This option allows direct control of the generation of the RF field by turning it on or off. Testing of the RF field
spectrum, tag response time, etc., can be achieved by using this menu option.
●
Demodulated output: The received RF signal is demodulated and placed on the output pin. The result is that the output
line is constantly toggling even if there is no valid tag in the field. If it is not necessary to provide this to the microcontroller
all the time, the output can be turned OFF until needed.
●
Standby mode: The reader IC can be placed in a standby mode to reduce current consumption. If turned on, the IC goes
into a low-power state.
●
Antenna resonant frequency: This allows the RF frequency to be adjusted by ~2kHz steps. There are four possible
choices. These are labeled to show the direction the frequency is being shifted. This is achieved by switching capacitors
in using software control. The tuning of the RF field is a manual operation and does not automatically choose the best
option. For best system performance, the resonant frequency of the reader antenna and tag antennas must be matched.
This circuit allows the reader resonant frequency to be adjusted because in most cases the tag side cannot be modified.
The menu option is selected in all cases by moving the joystick up/down. When the desired option is selected, change the value
by moving the Joystick left/right. The change is stored in EEPROM and survives after power is removed.
4.2.3
Tag Timing Options Menu
The timing limits are used in the communication protocol with the transponder. There are two timing limits that are available to
most tags—write and read.
Write timings control downlink communication. This is where the reader sends commands and/or data to the transponder. The
Atmel® reader uses pulse-pause coding (PPC) where the RF field is modulated by OOK. OOK indicates that the RF field is
switched completely on or off. PPC uses fixed gaps (RF OFF) to separate the individual data bits. A logic “1” is considered a
long (RF ON) and a “0” a short (RF ON) burst of RF field between two gaps. Sending a gap of SGap time starts the write
process. The write timings menu allows the actual time value of these to be modified.
Read timings deal with the uplink communication from the transponder to the reader. Although many of the Atmel tags can
communicate in other modes, the U2270B (default) reader can only demodulate AM responses. In addition, this evaluation kit
only decodes Manchester data formats (except for animal ID). Other data formats may be implemented in the future. In
Manchester decoding it is important to specify edge-timing limits. There are minimum and maximum limits set for Manchester
short (T) times as well as Manchester long (2T) times. Some tags also require a sequence terminator-timing limit to synchronize
the incoming data. Where applicable, this appears in the “Read Timing” menu. To modify a limit, first move up/down while the
limit name is selected. Then move right/left to select the limit to modify. Finally, move up/down to change the limit value. Return
to the limit name by moving right/left again.
These timing limits are preset to work in most normal operating conditions. If the system is being used in different conditions or
if changes have been made, these limits may need to be adjusted. For example, limits need to be adjusted if a custom
transponder or reader antenna is being used.
Default timings for the different tags are shown in Table 4-1 on page 18.

4.2.3.1 Write Configurations Menu
Most of the Atmel® transponders provide a means of configuring the uplink communication by setting a configuration block with
the appropriate value. The configuration block (normally block 0) specifies the data rate, modulation type, number of blocks
returned, synchronization type, and other features the tag is capable of supporting. For the Atmel ATA2270-EK2 kit to provide
the most reliable communication with the different transponders, the tags must be placed into a fixed configuration. Choosing
the “Write Configurations” menu and selecting YES accomplishes this. When ENTER is pressed, the system attempts to write
the appropriate configuration block data into the selected tag type.
This only needs to be done when the state of the tag is unknown. Do this when beginning to work with a new tag for the first
time. If a different configuration is desired, the change must be made in the source code provided on the supplied CD.
Note:
This process contains no verification of success; it is an attempt only. Ensure that a valid tag type is present in the
RF field when performing this step.
4.2.3.2 Read/Write Menu
The primary purpose of the evaluation kit is contained in this menu. The menu provides the interface used to store and retrieve
information from a passive RFID transponder. If the selected transponder is a read-only device, the choices will be limited to
simple retrieval of the stored data. Availability of these menus is dependent on what the selected transponder supports. The
following sections describe the operation of the menu items in detail.
Write - One Block
This item allows each data block to be written separately. First, select the block number to be written by scrolling up/down with
the joystick. The number of data blocks is dependent on the selected tag type.
Once the block number is selected, move the joystick to the right to edit the data. Each data block consists of 32 bits. These are
shown as four hex numbers and each nibble (4 bits) can be changed independently by moving the joystick up/down. Once the
data values have been set, press ENTER to return to the block number selection.
Pressing ENTER when a block number is selected, starts the write procedure. This step performs verification of the data written
to the transponder and audible feedback to indicate the result. If the write was successful, the system returns a beep. If any
error occurs, a buzz sounds to indicate that the data may not have been successfully written. A message window also pops up
briefly showing the status of the write operation.
Write - All Blocks
This menu functions much the way the Write - One Block does with the exception that all blocks are visible and can be modified.
The same controls apply for selecting and editing the data. When all data blocks have been set to the desired values, pressing
ENTER on any of the block labels starts the write sequence. The system then attempts to write and verify each block
sequentially. This results in a string of audio feedback results equal to the number of data blocks supported by the transponder.
A message window also pops up briefly showing the status of the write operation.
Atmel ATAN0083 [APPLICATION NOTE]
9321A–RFID–06/13
18
Read - Manual
This is the most basic data retrieval routine. Each time the “Enter” button is pressed, a read cycle is initiated. This attempts to
demodulate the incoming data signal using the selected tag timings. A beep sounds with the data displayed on the LCD if the
attempt is successful. The LCD is then latched until the next read cycle. This is very useful for checking the contents of a
transponder and verifying the accuracy of the stored data. If a transponder supports more blocks than can be displayed on the
LCD, scrolling up/down with the joystick changes the page number and allows the additional blocks to be seen. The selected
page remains on the display for each subsequent read attempt.
Read - Auto
The auto routine is designed to allow continuous checking of the transponder. This is useful for finding a hidden transponder or
checking the read range of a tag form factor. In this mode, the system continuously loops through a read routine and displays
the resulting data on the LCD. If there is no tag in the reader field, the display shows zeros only and an buzz sound indicates the
read attempt failed. A beep confirms that a tag was read successfully. If a transponder supports more blocks than can be
displayed on the LCD, the same scrolling holds true as defined in the Read Manual routine.
Read - Mfg. ID
If the Atmel® transponder supports traceability data, this menu allows the system to read these blocks. These controls work the
same as those described in the Read Manual routine. The data is formatted into a manufacture ID and displayed. This data can
be used to uniquely identify a tag or to provide feedback to Atmel.
Additional Unique Features
The Atmel ATA5558 transponder includes some additional features, making the “Read/Write” menu look different. To access
the “Read/Write” menu, a unique transponder ID must be selected. An additional in-line menu allows a search routine to identify
all the transponders in the field. It is then possible to select one of these tags for communication. All communication starts by
selecting an ID command followed by the specific command required. This allows the reader to communicate with the selected
tag while the other tags remain in the field.
First, navigate to “RFID>Read/Write Menu>5558 Anti-collision”. Press ENTER to start the search routine. Once the tags
currently located in the field are identified, they are listed from largest ID to smallest. Move the joystick to the left to select a
transponder. Moving up/down changes the tag currently selected. Press ENTER to continue to the “Read/Write” menu. In
addition, it is possible to read the tag ID and write a new tag ID.
Read - Tag ID
● This menu reads and displays the three blocks of configurable tag ID data. These blocks are used in the anti-collision
process to separate the transponders occupying the RF field. Pressing ENTER starts a new read attempt.
Write - Tag ID
The transponder ID used in the anti-collision process can be modified. When changing this ID, make sure that it remains unique
or the system will not function correctly. After selecting the block to be changed, use the “Right/left” button to select the desired
data nibble to be changed. Scrolling up/down changes the value of the selected data. Pressing ENTER anywhere on the block
labels starts the write process. The new tag ID is then stored as the selected one so that continued communication with the
same transponder can occur. Note that the new tag ID is initialized to the tag ID previously read.
Read - AFE Reg
The Atmel ATA5577 has a configurable analog front end and the current settings can be read using this menu option. The
settings are broken up into a functional description and displayed in bit values. (except for soft mod suffixed with D or A) Scroll
up/down to see all of the settings.
Read - AFE Reg
The Atmel ATA5577 has a configurable analog front end and the settings can be changed using this menu option. The data is
shown in hex format with the default setting of 9DC00000. Please refer to the datasheet to select new settings for this block.

4.2.3.3 Animal ID
A subset of RFID is the animal identification application. Special formats for this feature are specified in ISO 11784/785
standards. This menu allows the evaluation of transponders using these formats. In addition, an application note describing how
to use Atmel RFID products for this application is also included on the CD. The ISO standard specifies an operating frequency
of 134.2kHz. This evaluation kit nominally operates at 125kHz but can be modified to work at the correct frequency by changing
the capacitors in the antenna tuning circuit.
Read - Lite
All transponders complying to ISO standards should facilitate being read from this menu. This works as a standard animal ID
reader and continuously tries to detect a tag with the ISO 11784/785 format. Once this is found, the country code and national
code is displayed. In addition, CRC checking is carried out and if valid, a check mark is placed after the national code. This runs
continuously until exiting the menu by pressing F4.
Read - All
All transponders complying to ISO standards should facilitate being read from this menu. Pressing ENTER starts a new read
process. After the information is decoded, it is formatted and displayed on the LCD. There are two flag bits that are identified
and displayed as a YES/NO. These are the animal and data flags. The country code is displayed first as a hex and then as a
decimal value. A national code is shown as a hex value because of size constraints. The CRC displayed (first in hex then
decimal) is the decoded value. If this matches the calculated value, a check mark appears after the decimal value. Finally, the
optional data values are displayed as hex values.
Write - One
This configures certain Atmel transponders in a mode compatible with the ISO animal ID standards. From this menu it is
possible to edit the two flag bits as well as the national code. The country code is set to 999d for test tags. The display format is
the same as in the “Read” menu.The “Up/down” buttons allow navigation between labels. Change the value of the selected
label by moving the joystick right/left. Once all data values have been changed, press ENTER while any label is selected to start
the write process (no verification is carried out in this step). Read the animal ID to verify that the write was successful.
Write - Batch
This feature is not available yet. It is for creating a batch programmer and will be implemented in a later software release.

Sample Software
All of the source code used to create this evaluation kit is available on the CD-ROM and can be modified to fit the end
application. The initial software modules are written in C using a Codevision compiler. All subsequent software is written in AVR
Studio using the WinAVR plugin. The header (*.h) files contain all of the functions available. These are the guides that should be
used when calling the functions.
The different function blocks are broken out into self contained modules for easier portability. The most useful modules are the
reader module (rfid_U2270.c/h) and the transponder modules (rfid_x5551.c/h, rfid_x5557.c/h, etc).
4.3.1

The following are two examples of how to use the software modules to achieve a read tag and then write a block of data to the
tag. The appropriate .c and .h files should be included to support the readers and tags referenced in the code below.

4.3.2
Programming Guide
Atmel® encourages the use of this kit to develop a prototype platform for evaluation of the intended application. The kit accepts
two very common programming interfaces—ISP and JTAG.
ISP is a downloading method where only six I/O lines are needed. The supplied header works with the ATSTK500 as well as the
AVR® ISP in-system programmer. Both of these are available from Atmel or distributors for very low-cost program development.
To program the Flash memory and the EEPROM, first connect the programming tool to the MB using a 6-pin ribbon connector.
Make sure that proper orientation is maintained by aligning pin 1. The file types accepted use Intel Hex format.
To program a hex file into the target AVR device, select “Program AVR” and then “Connect...” from the “Tools” menu in AVR
Studio. Once AVR Studio has been opened, connect to the STK500 or AVRISP by selecting “STK500 or AVRISP” from the
platform list. Then select “Connect...”. The driver for the STK500 and AVRISP is then started, and the STK500 dialog should
appear. Note that the system supports other programming platforms as well, such as the JTAGICE or the JTAGICE mkII.
Then, on the “Program” tab, select the AVR target device from the pull-down menu and locate the Intel Hex file to be
downloaded. Select the “Program” button. Repeat these steps for the EEPROM section.
The same steps apply when using the JTAGICE MKII.
The JTAG platform allows more control during software development by allowing real-time debugging of the source code. The
JTAGICE MKII supports setting breakpoints and stepping through the code being executed on the target micro. This is very
useful for a more complex software project such as this one.
4.3.3
Fuse Settings:
Fuse bits must be set properly for the kit to function. The only fuse bits that should be set are listed below.
