Overview
The debugWIRE On-chip debug system uses a One-wire, bi-directional interface to control the program flow, 
execute AVR instructions in the CPU and to program the different non-volatile memories. 
25.3
Physical Interface
When the debugWIRE Enable (DWEN) Fuse is programmed and Lock bits are unprogrammed, the debugWIRE 
system within the target device is activated. The RESET port pin is configured as a wire-AND (open-drain) bi-
directional I/O pin with pull-up enabled and becomes the communication gateway between target and emulator. 
Figure 25-1.
The debugWIRE Setup
 shows the schematic of a target MCU, with debugWIRE enabled, and the emulator connector. The 
system clock is not affected by debugWIRE and will always be the clock source selected by the CKSEL Fuses. 
When designing a system where debugWIRE will be used, the following observations must be made for correct 
operation:
dW
GND
dW(RESET)
VCC
1.8 - 5.5V
