2. Getting Started
2.1 Xplained Pro Quick Start
Steps to start exploring the Xplained Pro platform:
1. Download Atmel Studio.
2. Launch Atmel Studio.
3. Connect ATBTLC1000ZR Xplained Pro extension board with an Xplained Pro MCU board and
connect a USB cable to the DEBUG USB port on the Xplained Pro MCU board.
When the Xplained Pro MCU kit is connected to the computer for the first time, the operating system
installs the software driver. The driver file supports 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft® Windows® XP,
Windows Vista®, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2012.
When the Xplained Pro MCU board is powered, the power LED (green color) glows and Atmel Studio
automatically detects the specific Xplained Pro MCU and extension board(s) that are connected. The kit
landing page in Atmel Studio comes with an option to launch the Advanced Software Framework (ASF)
and Atmel START, example application codes for the kit. The target device is programmed and debugged
by the on-board Embedded Debugger and therefore no external programmer or debugger tool is
required.

4. Xplained Pro
Xplained Pro is an evaluation platform which contains a series of microcontroller boards (evaluation kits)
and extension boards. Atmel Studio is used to program and debug the microcontrollers on these boards.
Atmel Studio includes ASF and Atmel START, which has drivers and demo code, and Data Visualizer,
which supports data streaming and advanced debugging. Xplained Pro evaluation kits can be connected
to a wide range of Xplained Pro extension boards through standardized headers and connectors.
Xplained Pro extension boards have identification (ID) chips to uniquely identify which boards are
connected to the Xplained Pro evaluation kits.
4.1 Xplained Pro Standard Extension Header
All Xplained Pro kits have one or more dual row, 20-pin, 100-mil extension header. The Xplained Pro
MCU boards have male headers, while the Xplained Pro extensions have their female counterparts. All
connected pins follow the defined pin description in the table.
Info: All pins are not always connected on all extension headers.
The extension headers can be used to connect a variety of Xplained Pro extensions to Xplained Pro MCU
boards or to access the pins of the target microcontroller on Xplained Pro MCU boards directly.

4.2 Hardware Identification System
All Xplained Pro extension boards come with an identification chip (ATSHA204A CryptoAuthentication
chip) to uniquely identify the boards that are connected to the Xplained Pro evaluation kit. This chip
contains information that identifies the extension with its name and some extra data. When an Xplained
Pro extension is connected to an Xplained Pro evaluation kit, the information is read and sent to Atmel
Studio. The following table shows the data fields stored in the ID chip with example content.

5. Hardware Users Guide
5.1 ID chip content
The ATBTLC1000ZR Xplained Pro can be connected to several Xplained Pro MCU boards and manually
connected to other hardware. Xplained Pro MCU board(s) that does not have 3.3V as its primary target
voltage reads all ID devices on connected extensions to check if they support the target voltage before
enabling it to the extension headers. The table provides the static content written in the ID chip.
