2 What is needed to get started?
To be able to run the preprogrammed code, you need the
Atmel UC3-A3 Xplained
evaluation kit
and a USB cable (Standard-A to Mini-B or Mini-AB) to connect the
board to a PC.
When connecting the
UC3-A3 Xplained
board to a PC, the operating system will
request a driver file for installing the serial communication driver. This driver file is
available in the zip file associated with this document. The driver file supports both
the 32- and the 64-bit versions of Windows
available in the zip file associated with this document. The driver file supports both
the 32- and the 64-bit versions of Windows
®
XP and Windows
7. Driver installs are not
necessary on Linux
®
operating systems.
To modify the example code or to write new code and compile it, you need a
toolchain for the Atmel AVR microcontrollers and an integrated development
environment (IDE) to edit and debug the code. Atmel provides both Atmel
toolchain for the Atmel AVR microcontrollers and an integrated development
environment (IDE) to edit and debug the code. Atmel provides both Atmel
AVR
Studio
®
4
and Atmel
AVR32 GNU Toolchain
. Other IDEs and toolchains are also
available, such as
IAR Embedded Workbench
®
.
If you also want to debug the code at runtime, debuggers like the
Atmel AVR
JTAGICE mkII
or the
Atmel AVR ONE!
are needed. More information about these
tools is available from the Atmel website.

2.2 Atmel AVR Software Framework (ASF)
The Atmel
AVR Software Framework
provides software drivers and libraries to build
applications for Atmel AVR devices. It has been designed to help develop and merge
the different components of a software design. It can easily integrate into an operating
system (OS) or run as a standalone product.

The ASF (version 1.7.0) that integrates with
Atmel AVR32 Studio
can be found here:

However, the above framework does not include the latest examples for this kit. The
new
new
AVR Software Framework
(version 2+) should be used to get the latest software
