3 General information

This document targets the Atmel ATmega1284P evaluation kit revision 3, and parts of

the document may, therefore, be inconsistent with earlier revisions of the product. For

earlier revisions, please refer to the schematics, which is the only documentation

available for these revisions. The Atmel MEGA-1284P Xplained kit is intended to

demonstrate the ATmega1284P, and the hardware that relates to the Atmel

AT32UC3B1256 (board controller) is, therefore, not covered in detail in this

document.

Figure 3-1. Overview of the MEGA-1284P Xplained kit.

Figure 3-2. Functional overview of the Atmel MEGA-1284P Xplained kit.

3.1 Preprogrammed firmware

The MEGA-1284P Xplained kit comes with both the Atmel ATmega1284P and the

Atmel AT32UC3B1256 preprogrammed.

The preprogrammed firmware in the ATmega1284P is set up with example code that

allows the user to choose different sleep modes, and provides an example of how to

use the light sensor to dim the four onboard LEDs. It also includes a boot loader

(AVROSP) which allows the user to reprogram the ATmega1284P without using an

external programmer. Please refer to the Atmel application note, AVR370: MEGA-

1284P Xplained Getting Started Guide, for more details regarding the

preprogrammed firmware.

The preprogrammed AT32UC3B1256 firmware offers features such as a boot loader

for self-programming of the board controller itself, and a USART-to-USB gateway,

which can be used to communicate with the target controller, the ATmega1284P.

3.2 Power supply

The kit is powered via the USB connector, which presents two options for powering it:

Either connect the kit to a PC through a USB cable or to a 5V USB power supply

(AC/DC adapter).

The 5V is regulated to 3.3V with an LDO regulator, which provides power to the entire

board. The Atmel ATmega1284P is powered by 3.3V, but if 1.8V operation is desired,

some modifications to the board are needed. This includes replacing the regulator

with one that delivers a 1.8V output and rerouting the power to the device (see

schematic for an explanation). As some of the other ICs on the Atmel MEGA-1284P

Xplained require 3.3V to operate correctly, these devices have to be removed.

3.3 Measuring the ATmega1284P power consumption

As part of an ATmega1284Pevaluation, it can be of interest to measure its power

consumption. The two-pin power measurement header is the only connection

between the VCC_P3V3 common power plane and the VCC_MCU_P3V3 power

plane. By replacing the jumper with an ammeter, it is possible to determine the

ATmega1284P current consumption. To locate the power measurement header,

please refer to Figure 3-1.

Do not power the board without having the jumper or an ammeter mounted. If

this is done the board might be powered through an I/O pin. The result might be

erratic behavior and the device might get damaged.

3.4 Communication through the USART-to-USB gateway

The ATmega1284P USART is connected to a USART on the Atmel AT32UC3B1256.

The ATmega1284P USART is communicating at 57600 baud using one start bit, eight

data bits, one stop bit, and no parity.

When the AT32UC3B1256 device is enumerated (connected to a PC). the data

transmitted from the ATmega1284P is passed to a (virtual) COM port. This means

that it is possible to use a terminal program on a PC to receive the transmitted data.

Similarly data transmitted from the PC COM port is passed to the ATmega1284P

USART through the gateway.

4 Connectors

The Atmel MEGA-1284P Xplained kit has five 10-pin, 100mil headers. Two headers

have a fixed communication interface (J1 and J4). One header has analog

functionality (J2), and the last header (J3) has general purpose digital I/O.

The 90° angled header is the Atmel ATmega1284P JTAG programming and

debugging header.

For the location of the respective headers, refer to Figure 3-1.

4.1 Programming headers

The ATmega1284P can be programmed and debugged by connecting an external

programming/debugging tool to the JTAG pin header. The pin header has a standard

JTAG programmer pin-out (refer to online help in the Atmel AVR Studio), enabling

tools like the Atmel AVR JTAGICE mkII or the Atmel AVR ONE! to be connected

directly to the header.

The grey, female, 10-pin header on the AVR JTAGICE mkII must be used when

connecting to the kit. A scoring in the board is made to fit the orientation tab on

the header.

A standoff adapter (nr. 1) is needed when using the AVR ONE!

Pin 1 on the JTAG header is at the top right corner. This is rotated 180°

compared to the other headers (J1, J2, J3, and J4).

Note: 1. Standard pin-out for the AVR JTAGICE mkII and other Atmel programming tools

The Atmel AT32UC3B1256 can be programmed through its boot loader. The boot

loader is evoked by shorting the two holes marked BOOTLOADER BOARD

CONTROLLER on the bottom side of the board before applying power to the board.

The two holes have 100mil spacing, enabling the user to solder in a two-pin header

and use a jumper to easily enter the boot loader. Programming is performed through

the boot loader programmer target in the Atmel AVR Studio.

Alternatively, the AT32UC3B1256 can also be programmed by connecting a

programming tool, such as the AVR JTAGICE mkII, to the 10 holes marked JTAG

BOARD CONTROLLER on the bottom side of the board. The holes have 100mil

spacing, letting the user solder in a 10-pin header to program the board controller.

8377B-AVR-11/11

Please note that programming the Atmel AT32UC3B1256 using a programming

tool will erase the boot loader.

Please refer to the Atmel application note, AVR370: MEGA-1284P Xplained

Getting Started Guide, for more details regarding how to program the onboard

microcontrollers.

4.2 I/O expansion headers

There are four available I/O expansion headers in the kit. Because of the low pin

count on the device, the I/O expansion header pins are shared with onboard

functionality. If “clean” expansion ports are needed, cut-straps are available to

remove onboard functionality. Table 4-2 through Table 4-5 show what is shared on

the respective header pins.

5 Memories

The Atmel MEGA-1284P Xplained kit does not have any external memories mounted

on the board. Footprints are available for adding either an industrial standard flash

device or an Atmel proprietary serial DataFlash device.

The footprints share the same SPI lines, including the chip select, and it is,

therefore, not possible to mount devices on both footprints at the same time.

6 Miscellaneous I/O

6.1 Mechanical buttons

The board is equipped with three mechanical buttons. The buttons (SW0:2) are

shared with LED0, LED2, and LED3. Onboard protection circuitry is added to avoid a

short when driving the port high at the same time as pushing the button, which will

short it to the ground. To be able to use both button and LED, time multiplexing has to

be used.

To be able to detect a button press, the firmware has to periodically set the I/O pin to

input with pull-up and check if it is low. When doing this fast enough, the human eye

will not see any change in the LED.

6.2 LEDs

The Atmel MEGA-1284P Xplained has four standard yellow LEDs mounted onboard,

which are connected to the Atmel ATmega1284P. The four LEDs are active low.

LED0, LED2, and LED3 are shared with the three mechanical buttons (SW0:2). When

turning an LED on, set the I/O pin to output low. When turning an LED off, set the I/O

pin as input with pull-up. The protection circuitry added to the button will make the

LED shine brighter when the button is pressed and the LED is turned on. When the

LED is off, any button press will light up the LED.

The Atmel MEGA-1284P Xplained also has one dual LED mounted near the USB

connector. This is the power and status LED, which is connected to the board

controller. This LED will be green when power is applied, and will toggle between

green and orange when communication over USB is ongoing.

6.3 Analog I/O

An RC filter, a light sensor, and an NTC are connected to ADC5, ADC6, and ADC7,

respectively. These analog sources can be used as input to the ADC. All of the

analog signals can be disconnected by cutting the cut-straps on the bottom side of

the board.

The RC filter (first-order low-pass) has an approximate 3dB cut-off frequency of

159Hz. The input to the RC filter is GPIO5 (PD5) on the ATmega1284P, which can be

configured to output a PWM signal to the RC filter. This can be used to generate a

DC voltage on the output of the RC filter, which can be measured on the ADC5 pin.

As this is a first-order filter, the ripple on the DC voltage is inversely proportional to

the input frequency. A higher input frequency will result in lower ripple on the output.

6.4 Touch

The MEGA-1284P XPLAINED kit has one Atmel QTouch button, QTB0.
