Microchip Technology Atmel-ICE Kit

Microchip Technology Atmel-ICE Kit is a development tool for debugging and programming Arm® Cortex®-M based SAM and AVR microcontrollers with on-chip debug capability. Atmel-ICE is fully compatible with Atmel Studio and supports the programming and debugging of all Atmel AVR UC3 32-bit microcontrollers. The Atmel-ICE unit requires a front-end debugging environment Atmel Studio version 6.2 or later and should be connected to a host computer using the provided USB cable or a certified Micro-USB cable.

Atmel-ICE kit contents:

  • ATATMEL-ICE (Full Kit): Encapsulated main unit, USB cable, 10-lead squid cable, flat cable (10-pin 50mil connector and 6-pin 100mil connector), and adapter board (20-pin 100mil connector, 6-pin 50mil connector, and 10-pin 100mil connector)
  • ATATMEL-ICE-BASIC (Basic Kit): Encapsulated main unit, USB cable, and flat cable (10-pin 50mil connector and 6-pin 100mil connector)
  • ATATMEL-ICE-PCBA: PCB assembly of the main unit only, no cables
  • ATATMEL-ICE-ADPT: 10-lead squid cable, flat cable (10-pin 50mil connector and 6-pin 100mil connector), and adapter board (20-pin 100mil connector, 6-pin 50mil connector, and 10-pin 100mil connector)
  • ATATMEL-ICE-CABLE: Flat cable (10-pin 50mil connector and 6-pin 100mil connector)
