"What is xplained pro?
Xplained Pro is an MCU evaluation platform of ATMEL, which can completely evaluate the performance of ATMEL microcontroller. The platform consists of a series of microcontroller boards and expansion boards, integrates ATMEL software framework (ASF) driver and demonstration code, and supports data flow. The xplained Pro MCU development board supports the connection with its many expansion boards through a set of standardized interfaces. Each expansion board has a unique identification (ID). The chip can know the information of the expansion board by connecting ATMEL studio 7.0. Such as relevant user guides, application manuals, data sheets and sample codes.
Xplained Pro platform features
Embedded Debugger
The xplained platform comes with an onboard edbg module
From sam4s xplained Pro board
Edbg is a USB device integrating three interfaces, including debug interface, virtual serial interface and data gateway interface (DGI). Programming, downloading and debugging can be realized by connecting ATMEL studio 7.0 through micro USB.
Hardware identification system
All compatible expansion boards of xplained Pro are equipped with an ATMEL encryption authentication chip - atsha204. This chip contains the name of the expansion board and some additional information. When the expansion board is connected with the MCU main control board, you can get more detailed information, code routines and relevant documents through ATMEL studio, which is very convenient.
Power supply
The board power supply of xplained Pro platform is very flexible. There are usually three power supply modes: external power supply, embedded debug USB power supply, and target USB power supply (except for boards without target USB interface, such as samd20 xplained pro, sam4n xplained pro, etc.)

20-pin standard connector
All xplained Pro cards have one or more double row 20pin standard expansion seats. The unified pin definition can be connected to the xplained Pro expansion board.
The expansion board can not be used alone, but it is very convenient to use with the main control board. Just connect the xplained Pro Series main control board with pin-to-pin and cooperate with ATMEL studio 7.0, which is a unique design tool of ATMEL.
Xplained Pro quick start
Xplained Pro Series development board can be said to be a sublimation scheme of ATMEL's new positioning of development board, so that users do not need to be limited to the main board to realize many complex functions, simplify the design of the main board, pay more attention to its compatibility and scalability, pay more attention to the user's software and hardware complex experience, and use it with ATMEL studio 7.0 to form a set of all-round market-defined boards. Through the standard 20pin interface, it can be combined and developed at will, which has quite high flexibility. So, when you first contact the board of xplained pro, what should you do?
First, you must go to ATMEL's official website to download, install and open its supporting development environment ATMEL studio 7.0.
Then, you connect the xplained Pro development board to the computer through a micro USB cable.
Step 3: ATMEL studio7.0 will identify the information of the board through the authentication ID chip on the board and give the data related to the board
Step 4: as a familiar xplained Pro platform, you can open ASF and select the corresponding routine for extension
Step 5: compile and download the selected routine using ATMEL studio 7.0
Step 6: this completes a simple start-up process. Press the reset key to view the corresponding routine.
