Atmel-ICE¶
Atmel-ICE is a powerful development tool for debugging and programming ARM® Cortex®-M based SAM and AVR microcontrollers with on-chip debug capability. Official reference can be found here.
Contents
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. |
