Programming External Microcontrollers

The on-board debugger on ATtiny1627 Curiosity Nano can be used to program and debug microcontrollers on

external hardware.

3.5.1

Supported Devices

All external AVR microcontrollers with the UPDI interface can be programmed and debugged with the on-board

debugger with Atmel Studio.

External SAM microcontrollers that have a Curiosity Nano Board can be programmed and debugged with the on-

board debugger with Atmel Studio.

ATtiny1627 Curiosity Nano can program and debug external ATtiny1627 microcontrollers with MPLAB X IDE.

3.5.2

Software Configuration

No software configuration is required to program and debug the same device that is mounted on the board.

To program and debug a different microcontroller than what is mounted on the board, Atmel Studio must be

configured to allow free selection of devices and programming interfaces.

Navigate to Tools > Options through the menu system at the top of the application.

Select the Tools > Tool settings category in the options window.

Set the Hide unsupported devices option to False.

Figure 3-8. Hide Unsupported Devices

Info: Atmel Studio allows any microcontroller and interface to be selected when Hide unsupported

devices is set to False, also microcontrollers and interfaces which are not supported by the on-board

debugger.
