Atmel ATAN0008
2. Software Requirements
The Atmel®ATAK51001 devices are shipped with the proper software already loaded. The
Atmel STK600 must be assembled and the Atmel ATmega2560 requires programming for the
system to be fully functional. The Atmel STK600 board must be configured to VTG = 5V. The
STK600 can program its microcontroller via the ISP or JTAG programming headers. The soft-
ware object files can be downloaded from the Atmel website (http://www.atmel.com/dyn/
products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=17382&category_id=154&family_id=692&subfamily_id=
1949) long with the PC GUI executable. When using the PC GUI please make sure the correct
COM port is selected.
Note: After programming the Atmel STK600, individual key fobs must be “Learned” to the system
before use. See Section 2.2 “Support Functions” on page 3.
A more complete explanation of the hardware and software is provided in the official user
guide that can be found on the Atmel website.
2.1 System Operation
The Atmel ATAK51001 provides a complete Car Access Reference System showing three
main functions and three support functions. These three main functions all operate seamlessly
as they would in a real application using correct wireless and wired communication protocols.
Status for all events is shown on the Atmel STK600 LEDs and the PC GUI main screen. The
PC GUI also includes auditory feedback as well as additional view boxes showing the content
of the various messages.
• (RKE) Remote Keyless Entry
• (PEPS) Passive Entry Passive Start
• (IMM) Immobilizer
2.2 Support Functions
Before use each individual key fob must be paired to the vehicle controller. This is made pos-
sible through the “Learn” modes. There are three modes:
• RF - One way transfer of the RKE/PEPS secret key from the fob to the vehicle
• IMMO - Two way programming of new randomly generated secret keys from the vehicle
into the fob for use in both RKE/PEPS and IMM modes
• Clear - Erases all previously learned key fobs
It is possible to associate up to 8 key fobs with this system. The sequence of operation is as
follows
2.3 RKE Learn
1. Press SW5 on STK600 (LED5 should turn ON)
2. Press S3 on key fob (within 10s, while LED5 remains ON)
3. LED5 on Atmel STK600 should blink once. (PC GUI should show a “graduation cap”
icon)
4. Press SW5 to exit if finished or wait 10s
