Hello out there. I am new to AVR32 bit mcus but I have worked with avr atmega 16 and atmega 32 mcus. I wanted to know that what are the tools available for development on avr32 and where can find them. Will my serial programmer (ponyser) used for atmega 16 work on avr32 and can i program in programmer's notepad etc all information is needed.

So I request you all to please help me in this context.

I want to make my final year project on avr32.

Thanks In Advance

I have come to khow about AVR Studio 5 and can develop softwares for AVR32 on it. But what about programmers. Can I program it using my old stk500v2 programmer which i used for programming my ATmega??

You need a JTAG capable tool to program 32-bit AVRs. OR if you can get away by using the USB bootloader, then you only need a USB cable. All UC3 devices with USB comes delivered with a USB DFU bootloader. Atmel has an appnote about the bootloader and its features on their website www.atmel.com

Or you can get a AVRDragon for less that 50$ that will let you program and debug just like the JTAG ICE

Thanks for your help. But I wanted to know why can't I program it using ponyser or stk500v2, because its datasheet says that it supports ISP. And I also wanted to know from where can I download its complete datasheet because on Atmel's website I am getting only summary datasheet of UC32.

Thanks to all (In advance).

You can get them on the Atmel site. Go to the page of the device that you want to work with, select the Documents tab and there you should find all pertinent documents.

E.g. if I go to the AT32UC3A0128 page I see a list of downloads that starts as below

Thanks I found the datasheet and also other important documents there. But I still wanted to know whether my ponyser or STK500v2 programmer will work with UC32 or not. And if not then why?? I also wanted to know about any books or some material that will help me learn the basics of AVR32 so that i can develop C programs for it.
Thanks
Please reply...

The AVR32 doesn't support ISP, only JTAG and NEXUS high speed data trace... get the dragon, is a very usefull tool, supports almost every AVR MCU (8 bit and 32 bit), and allows to debug. With ISP you can't debug.

The ISP that the AVR32 supports is USB ISP using the pre-programmed bootloader, for that the only thing you need is a USB connection to the MCU in your target board. There is an app note about the UC3 bootloader in the Atmel website.

So I come to the conclusion that my old programmers will not work for AVR32. But Can anyone guide me from where should I start on AVR32. Some books or some guides are needed. Thanks for all the help you people provided.

Hello, go here:

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/devic ... ly_id=2138

Choose a part and read its datasheet, also read the AVR32 architecture manual. Then go to the framework web site:

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools ... ol_id=4192

Check out what the framework can offer you, read the example projects. Then get one of the eval boards and start playing with it..
