Chapter 1. Introduction
Overview
Congratulation with your STK600 AVR® Flash MCU Starter Kit. The STK600 is a complete starter kit and development system for the AVR and
AVR®32 flash microcontrollers from ATMEL® Corporation. It is designed to give designers a quick start to develop code on the AVR, combined
with advanced features for using the starter kit to prototype and test new designs.
N
ew firmware releases for STK600 are embedded with the releases of AVR Studio®. The upgrade process will start when you connect to the
STK600 board (you will be asked to perform the procedure). If for some reason the automatic upgrade fails, please try the manual upgrade
p
rocedure.

System Requirements
Operating system/software requirements:
zWindows 98/NT/2000/XP/XP x64/VISTA
zInternet Explorer 6.0 or later (Latest version is recommended)
Minimum Recommended hardware:
zIntel Pentium 200MHz processor or equivalent
z800x600 screen (1024x768 recommended)
z256 MB memory
z100 MB free hard disk space
zA free USB port on the host PC or on a self-powered USB hub
Optional: 10-15V DC/50mA power supply for powering STK600.
Quick Start
The STK600 starter kit is shipped with a device board with a ATmega2560 AVR microcontroller.
The STK600 can source power to the microcontroller trough the USB cable. Remember that the power available trough the USB cable is limited. If
your application attaches several peripherals to the STK600, you should use an external power source connected to the DC input socket on STK600.
The external power supply should be 9-15V DC with positive center connector.
The power switch turns the STK600 main power on and off. The red LED is lit when power is on, and the status LED will turn green. The green
LED beside the VTG jumper indicates that the target voltage is present.
An example application is described in the Example Application section. To evaluate the example, copy the code into a new project in AVR Studio.
Build the project (menu: Build) and program the resulting hex file to the target (menu: Tools/Program AVR)
To program the code using ISP:
zConnect a 6 lead flat cable between the two headers marked "ISP"
zAdjust target voltage from the HW settings tab. The voltage must be set in the range 1.8-5-5V.
zSelect ISP on the main tab and set ISP frequency to 200Khz or lower[1]
zProgram the application hex file from the program tab
To run the demo:
zConnect PORTB to LEDS using a 10 lead flat cable
zConnect PORTD to SWITCHES using a 10 lead flat cable
zPress one of the switches. The leds will display a blinking pattern, dependant of which switch is presse

[1] The ATmega2560 has a default fuse setting that makes it run on a 1MHz internal clock. The maximum ISP frequency is 1/4 of the target clock
frequency.
Connecting the Hardware
The STK600 must be connected to a host PC with a USB cable. Connect the cable to a free USB port on the PC or on a USB hub. The USB port
must be capable of supplying 500mA. If using a USB hub, make sure it has an external power supply.
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB connector on STK600 sitting next to the DC jack.
Optionally, if STK600 is to be connected to external hardware that consumes more than 300mA, an external DC power supply can be connected to
the DC jack on STK600. The cable supplied with the kit can be used. Connect the center pin to the positive voltage and the cap to ground.
See Chapter 3, Target Socket System on how to set up the routing card and socket card.
Example Application: Using LEDs and Switches
Copy the code from this document into AVR Studio.
Tip: You need to adjust the include file specified at the 2nd line if you want to run the demo application on a device different from the
ATmega2560.

Chapter 3. Target Socket System
Socket System
STK600 is designed to support all AVR devices (both AVR and AVR32) with internal flash memory. A system based on socket and routing cards is
used to support different package types and pinouts on the STK600 board.
The picture below shows an STK600 with a mounted routing card and socket card.

s\PAWEL\Ustawienia lokalne\Temp\~hhE369.htm

Socket Card and Routing Card
A socket card is a general card that does not have any device specific hardware. E.g. a TQFP-64 socket card can be used for all devices that comes
in a TQFP-64 package, regardless of pinout.
A routing card is a device specific card. It routes signals between the STK600 motherboard and the socket card. Note that several devices may use
the same routing card if they share the same pinout.
A set of spring loaded connectors make the connection between the motherboard, routing card and socket card. Clips or screws hold the stack of
cards together.
In addition to the socket and routing cards included in the kit, there are several add-on packs available to expand the part support for the STK600.
See the Device Support page to get an overview over the different socket and routing cards.
Selecting the correct routing and socket cards
Page 7 of 35STK600 User Guide
2008-06-20file://C:\Documents and Settin
g
s\PAWEL\Ustawienia lokalne\Temp\~hhE369.htm

Selecting the correct routing and socket card can be done by looking at the Device Support table.
Correct routing and socket card can also be found by just selecting the correct device in the STK600 programming dialog in AVR Studio. A
notification will display the correct routing and socket card to use, unless the STK600 already has the correct cards mounted. More information on
the programming dialog can be found in the Programming Dialog pages in the AVR Studio help.
N
ote that some of the devices has a part specific socket card, i.e. a routing card that has a socket. In this case there is only one card to install onto the
motherboard.
Mounting the cards
Mounting the routing and socket cards can either be done by plastic clips or plastic screw/nuts. Both sets are included in the STK600 package.
Install either the clips or the nuts to the motherboard depending on what solution you want to use.
Using clips
Motherboard
The clips should be installed from the bottom side of the STK600 motherboard. When properly installed, two plastic locking springs holds the clip
in place.
Routing card
Align the clips with the white lines on the motherboard. The routing card could now be placed above the four clips. Make sure that the routing card
has the correct orientation, i.e. the text should face upwards, and the white dot in the corner should match the one on the STK600. Press down the
routing card (i.e. compress the spring loaded connector on the STK600) and turn the clip 45 degrees in the clockwise direction so that it aligns with
the white line on the routing card. It is easiest to do two opposite clips before locking the two last.

2008-06-20file://C:\Documents and Settin
g
s\PAWEL\Ustawienia lokalne\Temp\~hhE369.htm

Socket card
Connecting the socket card is done in the same way as the routing card. Make sure that the clips align with the white line outside the clip holes on
the routing card, then mount the socket card. The white spot on the socket card should align with the one on the routing card. Press down the socket
card (i.e. compress the spring loaded connector on the socket card) and turn the clip 45 degrees in the clockwise direction until it aligns with the
white line outside the clip hole. It is easiest to do two opposite clips before locking the two last.
Note
Always rotate the clips within the 45 degrees window. Do not turn them around, that could cause the routing card below to un-hock
from the clip.
Using screws and nuts
Motherboard
Insert the nuts into the STK600 motherboard from the bottom side. When properly installed the two locking springs should hold the nut in place.
Routing and socket card
Place the routing card above the mother board, make sure that the whit spot in the corner matches the white spot on the motherboard. The small
p
lastic taps on the ends of the spring loaded connectors should mate with the holes in the routing card. When the routing card is in the correct
p
osition, place the socket card onto the routing card with the white spot matching the one on the routing card. Make sure that the plastic taps on the
connectors on the socket card mates with the routing card as well.
Insert the four screws, and ti

into the nuts.

Signal integrity
STK600 is designed to support a wide range of devices with different packages and pinouts. Many compromises has been taken to make this
p
ossible with one motherboard. The signal integrity is not optimised due to this. STK600 is not a reference design in any way, but a kit that serves as
socket programmer with some additional peripheral hardware to get started with the AVR. Serial communication at the highest frequencies may not
work.
