1. Kit Overview

The ATWINC3400-XPRO is a carrier board for the SmartConnect-ATWINC3400-MR210CA Wi-Fi/BLE

module for the Xplained Pro platform. It connects to any Xplained Pro standard extension header on any

Xplained Pro MCU board to provide Wi-Fi/BLE functionality.

2. Getting Started

The ATWINC3400-XPRO has been designed to be connected to an Xplained Pro extension header

marked as EXT1. However, it is compatible with all Xplained Pro extension headers. Refer to the pin-out

of your Xplained Pro evaluation kit to find out which Xplained Pro extension headers can be used.

2.1 Xplained Pro Quick Start

Steps to start exploring the Xplained Pro platform:

1. Download and install Atmel Studio.

2. Launch Atmel Studio.

When the Xplained Pro MCU kit is connected to the computer for the first time, the operating system

installs the driver software automatically. This driver 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) glows and the Atmel Studio

automatically detects the specific Xplained Pro MCU and extension board(s) that are connected. The

landing page of the kit in the Atmel Studio has an option to launch the Atmel Software Framework (ASF)

and the 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.

3. 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.

3.1 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 the

Atmel Studio. The following table shows the data fields stored in the ID chip with example content.

Table 3-1. Xplained Pro ID Chip Content

Data Field Data Type Example Content

Manufacturer ASCII string Microchip'\0'

Product name ASCII string Segment LCD1 Xplained Pro'\0'

Product revision ASCII string 02'\0'

Product serial number ASCII string 1774020200000010’\0’

Minimum voltage [mV] uint16_t 3000

Maximum voltage [mV] uint16_t 3600

Maximum current [mA] uint16_t 30

3.2 Xplained Pro Standard Extension Header

All Xplained Pro kits have many dual row, 20-pin, 100-mil extension headers. The Xplained Pro MCU

boards have male headers, while the Xplained Pro extensions have their female counterparts. The

following table provides the pin description of all the connected pins.

Info: Not all pins are 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 the Xplained Pro boards.
