Getting Started
Xplained Nano Quick Start
Steps to start exploring the Atmel Xplained Nano platform:
1. Download Atmel Studio.
2. Launch Atmel Studio.
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 Nano 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.
Once the Xplained Nano board is powered the green status LED will blink and Atmel Studio will auto
detect which Xplained Nano board is connected. Atmel Studio will present relevant information like
datasheets and kit documentation. The ATtiny104 device is programmed by the on-board Mini Embedded
Debugger and therefore no external programmer tool is required.

Xplained Nano
Xplained Nano is an evaluation platform that provides a set of small boards with access to all
microcontoller I/O's. 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 through Atmel Studio. The platform also features a Virtual COM port for serial
communication to a host PC.
3.1.
Mini Embedded Debugger
The ATtiny104 Xplained Nano contains the Atmel Mini Embedded Debugger (mEDBG) for on-board
programming. 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 the ATtiny104. On ATtiny104
Xplained Nano, the TPI interface is connected between the mEDBG and the ATtiny104.
The Virtual COM Port is connected to a UART on the ATtiny104 and provides an easy way to
communicate with the target application through terminal software. It offers variable baud rate, parity, and
stop bit settings.
Note: The settings on the ATtiny104 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 ATtiny104. If the DTR
signal is not enabled the UART pins on the mEDBG is kept in high-z (tristate) rendering the
COM port unusable. The DTR signal is set automatically by some terminal software, but it may
have to be manually enabled in your terminal.
The mEDBG controls one status LED on ATtiny104 Xplained Nano. The table below shows how the LED
is controlled in different operation modes.

Xplained Nano Clock Output
The mEDBG output its CPU clock to the CLK pin 8 as shown in Xplained Nano Standard Pin-out. The
clock output can be used to feed the target device with a more accurate clock if this is needed for the
application.
3.2.
Power Sources
The ATtiny104 Xplained Nano kit can be powered by different sources. By default the kit will have a 5V
supply and the voltage is taken directly from the USB port through a 500mA PTC fuse. The voltage from
the USB connector can vary between 4.4V to 5.25V (according to USB spec).
Atmel ATtiny104 Xplained Nano [USER GUIDE]
Atmel-42671B-ATtiny104-Xplained-Nano_User Guide-08/2016

If other voltages are required, the kit must be disconnected from the USB to avoid damage or contention
to the USB power. The mEDBG must also be disconnected from the target section of the board. The
board can be power by applying a voltage to one of the power connections on the board according to the
table below. To avoid any power leakage through the mEDBG, this should also be disconnected by
removing the resistors shown in Figure 3-3. For placement of power connections, see Xplained Nano
Standard Pin-out.

Xplained Nano Standard Pin-out
Xplained Nano kits have a standard pin-out in the mEDBG section as shown in the tables and figure
below. The program/debug pins will change depending on the target interface, but will remain at the same
locations.
Xplained Nano kits have a target section where all I/O pins will be available and fanned out. Except for
the VCC and GND pins with fixed positions, there are no defined pin functions in this area. The first pin in
the target area is the VCC pin, located right next to the VREG pin of the standard section. The last pin is
GND, and it's located next to the CDC RX pin in the standard section. For reference, see figure below.

Disconnecting mEDBG
The target controller ATtiny104 can be completely separated from the mEDBG, but this requires some
small modifications to the board using a soldering iron. By removing the resistors in the sections shown in
the figure below, the mEDBG is completely disconnected from the target controller. If desired to connect
the mEDBG again, solder in 0Ω resistors or solder in 100-mil headers on the header footprints and use
wire-straps to connect the interfaces.

Current Measurement
The power to the target controller ATtiny104 is connected from the VREG supply to the targets VCC
supply with a 0Ω resistor as shown in the figure below. To measure the power consumption of the device,
remove the 0Ω resistor and replace it with an ammeter. The ammeter can be connected between the
VREG and VCC pads for easy measurement.
Tip: To connect the two power domains again, solder in a 0Ω resistor on the footprint or a 100mil header on the header footprint at the edge of the board and place a jumper between VREG
and VCC.

Caution: Removing the resistor while the kit is powered without an ammeter or jumper may
cause the ATtiny104 to be powered through its I/O pins. This may cause permanent damage to
the device.

Embedded Debugger Implementation
ATtiny104 Xplained Nano contains a Mini Embedded Debugger (mEDBG) that can be used to program
the ATtiny104 using Tiny Program Interface (TPI). The mEDBG also include a Virtual Com port interface
over UART. Atmel Studio can be used as a front end for the Mini Embedded Debugger.
5.1.
Tiny Program Interface
The Tiny Program Interface (TPI) uses two pins to communicate with the target. For further information on
how to use the programming capabilities of the mEDBG, see Mini Embedded Debugger.

Hardware Revision History and Known Issues
This user guide is written to reflect the latest available revision of the kit. This chapter contains
information about known issues, a revision history of older revisions, and how older revisions differ from
the latest revision.
6.1.
Identifying Product ID and Revision
The revision and product identifier of Xplained Nano boards can be found in two ways; either through
Atmel Studio or by looking at the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB.
By connecting an Xplained Nano board to a computer with Atmel Studio running, an information window
will pop up. The first six digits of the serial number, which is listed under kit details, contain the product
identifier and revision.
The same information can be found on the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB. Most kits will print the
identifier and revision in plain text as A09-nnnn\rr, where nnnn is the identifier and rr is the revision.
Boards with limited space have a sticker with only a QR-code, which contains a serial number string.
The serial number string has the following format:
"nnnnrrssssssssss"
n = product identifier
r = revision
s = serial number
The product identifier for ATtiny104 Xplained Nano is A09-2678.
6.2.
Revision 2
The target device U200 on revision 2 of the kit has been changed from engineering samples
(ATTINY104-SSNRES) to non-engineering samples (ATTINY104-SSNR).
6.3.
Revision 1
Revision 1 is the initially released revision.
Engineering samples are mounted on revision 1 for the target device U200 (ATTINY104-SSNRES).
