Atmel XMEGA AVR  - PDI Interface - Device Library - OVERVIEW

 
 
 

The 'XMEGA PDI' Device Library supports In-System Programming (ISP) of the Atmel XMEGA AVR microcontroller family via the 2-wire PDI (Programming Debug Interface). This solution is aimed at high throughput production users who require the fastest possible programming of the on-chip FLASH memory of any XMEGA AVR microcontroller.

Main features

  • High-speed In-System Programming (ISP) support of Atmel XMEGA AVR microcontrollers via the 2-wire PDI (Programming Debug Interface) 
  • Supports programming the on-chip FLASH, EEPROM, Fuse and Lock Bits of  XMEGA AVR microcontrollers
  • Uses the proprietary Atmel 2-wire PDI (Programming Debug Interface)  to program the target device
  • Very high-speed programming due to local data storage and optimised programming algorithms
  • Optimised line driver circuit for XMEGA DATA line to allow bi-directional communications
  • Programmers can be used in "Standalone Mode" (no PC) - Up to 64 x XMEGA 'Programming Projects' can be stored inside an ISPnano programmer
  • Supports high-speed program / verify of the XMEGA on-chip FLASH and EEPROM in a singe operation.
  • Optimised Erase operation supports independent erasing of Application Section, Application Table and Boot Section
  • Supports programming of non volatle Fuse Bits
  • Supports programming of the "Security Fuses" (Lock Bits) to protect code from being read out

XMEGA Programming Interface Overview

The Atmel XMEGA AVR microcontroller family feature either one or both of the following physical interfaces:

A graphical overview of the ‘PDI’ and ‘JTAG’ interfaces is shown in the diagram above.

XMEGA PDI - ISP Connections

The Program and Debug Interface (PDI) is a 2-wire interface which allows an XMEGA microcontroller to be programmed using an external programmer. The pins required for programming via the PDI interface are detailed in the table below.
