2. Getting Started
2.1 Xplained Mini Quick Start
Steps to start exploring the Xplained Mini platform:
1. Download Atmel Studio/MPLAB® X IDE.
2. Launch Atmel Studio/MPLAB® X.
3. Connect a USB cable (Standard-A to Micro-B or Micro-AB) between the PC and the USB port on the kit.
When the Xplained Mini kit is connected to your computer for the first time, the operating system will perform a driver
software installation. The driver file supports both 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft® Windows® XP, Windows
Vista®, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. The drivers for the kit are included with Atmel Studio/MPLAB® X.
Once the Xplained Mini board is powered, the green status LED will blink, and Atmel Studio/MPLAB® X will
autodetect which Xplained Mini board is connected. Atmel Studio/MPLAB® X will present relevant information like
data sheets and kit documentation. The ATtiny817 device is programmed and debugged by the on-board Mini
Embedded Debugger and, therefore, no external programmer or debugger tool is required.

3. Xplained Mini
Xplained Mini is an evaluation platform that provides a set of small boards with access to all microcontroller I/Os. The
platform consists of a series of low-pin-count Microcontroller (MCU) boards, which are integrated with Atmel Studio to
present relevant user guides, application notes, datasheets, and example code. The platform also features a Virtual
COM port for serial communication to a host PC.
3.1 Mini Embedded Debugger
The ATtiny817 Xplained Mini contains the Mini Embedded Debugger (mEDBG) for on-board programming and
debugging. The mEDBG is a composite USB device of two interfaces: A debugger and a virtual COM port.
Together with Atmel Studio, the mEDBG debugger interface can program and debug the ATtiny817. On ATtiny817
Xplained Mini, the UPDI interface is connected between the mEDBG and the ATtiny817.
The virtual COM port is connected to a UART on the ATtiny817 and provides an easy way to communicate with the
target application through the terminal software. It offers variable baud rate, parity, and Stop bit settings.
Note: The settings on the ATtiny817 must match the settings given in the terminal software.
Info: The virtual COM port in the mEDBG requires the terminal software to set the Data Terminal Ready
(DTR) signal to enable the UART pins connected to the ATtiny817. If the DTR signal is not enabled, the
UART pins on the mEDBG are kept in high-z (tri-state), rendering the COM port unusable. The DTR signal
is automatically set by some terminal software, but it may have to be manually enabled in the target
terminal.
The mEDBG controls one status LED on the ATtiny817 Xplained Mini. The table below shows how the LED is
controlled in different operation modes.
Table 3-1. mEDBG LED Control
Operation Mode Status LED
Power-up LED is briefly lit
Normal operation LED is not lit

debugging with the mEDBG
3.1.1 Xplained Mini Clock Output
The mEDBG outputs its CPU clock on a pin.
The clock output can be used to feed the target device with a more accurate clock if this is needed for the application.
By default, this clock is disconnected from the target by a not mounted resistor.
To connect the external clock to the ATtiny817, a 0Ω resistor or strap has to be soldered in the footprint, as shown in
the figure below (R205).

Figure 3-1. External Clock Footprint
The mEDBG CPU clock frequency depends on the selected voltage, see the table below.
Table 3-2. CPU Clock vs. Voltage
Target Voltage mEDBG CPU Clock
3.3V 8 MHz
5.0V 16 MHz
3.2 mEDBG Configuration
The operation of the mEDBG can be configured by writing registers in the mEDBG. No configuration is required for
default operation.
3.2.1 mEDBG Low-Power Modes
Two modes enable the mEDBG to save power when connected to an external power source.
EOF mode, where the mEDBG is disabled. When enabled, the ATmega32U4 will enter sleep mode if the USB does
not enumerate within 5 seconds of power-up. In this mode, the external clock is not available to the target MCU.
LOWP mode, where the mEDBG is set to run at 1 MHz. Saving power while maintaining the USB connection for the
COM port. The external clock will be 1 MHz.
Table 3-3. Low Power Modes Operation
Mode External CLK COM Port UPDI Program UPDI Debug
EOF disabled disabled disabled disabled
LOWP forced 1 MHz enabled useless useless
Factory settings enabled enabled enabled enabled
3.2.2 mEDBG Fuse Filter
The mEDBG does not initially allow users to program all fuses of the target device through Atmel Studio, as a filter is
implemented to protect certain fuses. The protected fuses are different for every product using the mEDBG and are
typically clock related fuses that could be set to invalid configurations.
The fuse protection can be disabled by writing the FUSE bit to ‘0’.

Info: The fuse filter prevents users from changing critical fuses using Atmel Studio. However, it does not
prevent users from setting fuses freely using the command line interface atprogram bundled with Atmel
Studio.

3.2.3 Super User Fantastic Feature Enable Register
Name: SUFFER
Offset: 0x0120
Reset: 0xFF
Property: N/A
The Super User Fantastic Feature Enable Register allows the user to modify the behavior of the mEDBG.
Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
EOF LOWP FUSE
Access R/W R/W R/W
Reset 1 1 1
Bit 2 – EOF Extended Off
Writing the EOF bit to ‘1’ sets default operation. Writing the EOF bit to ‘0’ enables the extended off power mode. If no
USB enumeration is successful within five seconds of power-up, the mEDBG enters deep sleep.
Bit 1 – LOWP Low Power
Writing the LOWP bit to ‘1’ sets the system clock to its default value. Writing the LOWP bit to ‘0’ enables low-power
mode. The mEDBG is set to run at 1 MHz, which decreases the power usage.
Bit 0 – FUSE FUSE Protection
Writing the FUSE bit to ‘1’ enables fuse protection when using Atmel Studio. The fuse protection prevents
modification of specific fuses in the ATtiny817 target device that could make the mEDBG on the ATtiny817 Xplained
Mini not usable. Writing the FUSE bit to ‘0’ removes all protection of fuses in the ATtiny817 target device.
WARNING
Writing the FUSE bit to ‘0’ enables modification of all fuses in the ATtiny817. Setting wrong fuse settings
may render the mEDBG not usable on the ATtiny817 Xplained Mini. As an example, if an invalid clock
setting is set, recovery may require an external debugger.
3.3 mEDBG Firmware Upgrade and Manual Bootloader Entry
The mEDBG firmware is updated through the programming dialog in Atmel Studio.
If you are unable to upgrade the mEDBG firmware on your ATtiny817 Xplained Mini, you can try the command line
utility atfw.exe provided with the Atmel Studio. atfw.exe is located in the atbackend folder in your Atmel Studio install
location.
To manually upgrade the firmware, run the following command:
atfw.exe -t medbg -a ..\tools\ mEDBG\medbg_fw.zip
If atfw.exe is unable to find the mEDBG, it may be required to force the ATmega32U4 (mEDBG) to enter its
bootloader. To force the bootloader entry, short-circuit the BOOT pads (J103) and toggle power to the ATtiny817
Xplained Mini board. Run the atfw command above. When the firmware is upgraded, remove the power from the kit
and remove the short-circuit of J103.
