Configuration¶
You can configure debugging tool using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):
[env:myenv]
platform = ...
board = ...
debug_tool = atmel-ice
If you would like to use this tool for firmware uploading, please change upload protocol:
[env:myenv]
platform = ...
board = ...
debug_tool = atmel-ice
upload_protocol = atmel-ice

Drivers¶
| Windows: | When installing the Atmel-ICE on a computer running Microsoft Windows, the USB driver is loaded when the Atmel-ICE is first plugged in. |
|---|---|
| Mac: | Not required. |
| Linux: | Please install “udev” rules 99-platformio-udev.rules. If you already installed them before, please check that your rules are up-to-date or repeat steps. |
Platforms¶
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Atmel SAM | Atmel | SMART offers Flash- based ARM products based on the ARM Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 architectures, ranging from 8KB to 2MB of Flash including a rich peripheral and feature mix. |
Frameworks¶
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Arduino | Arduino Wiring-based Framework allows writing cross-platform software to control devices attached to a wide range of Arduino boards to create all kinds of creative coding, interactive objects, spaces or physical experiences. |
| mbed | The mbed framework The mbed SDK has been designed to provide enough hardware abstraction to be intuitive and concise, yet powerful enough to build complex projects. It is built on the low-level ARM CMSIS APIs, allowing you to code down to the metal if needed. In addition to RTOS, USB and Networking libraries, a cookbook of hundreds of reusable peripheral and module libraries have been built on top of the SDK by the mbed Developer Community. |
| Simba | Simba is an RTOS and build framework. It aims to make embedded programming easy and portable. |
