AVR32 32-bit MCU - Development Tools

Atmel provides the GNU gcc C compiler, GNU gdb debugger, FreeRTOS.org real-time kernel and lwIP TCP/IP protocol stack for the UC3A Series family, free of charge. Commercial licenses from IAR® (Embedded Workbench), ExpressLogic (ThreadX®) and Micrium (uCOS/II) are also available.

Atmel's AVR32 Studio and AVR JTAGICE mkII used with Atmel's 8-bit AVR microcontrollers, provide the AVR32 UC with a multiplatform integrated development environment (IDE) already configured for the GNU tool chain, including support for more advanced debugging sessions with data and code trace using the AVR32's Nano Trace.

The AVR32 UC has a Nexus class 2+ interface through the auxiliary (AUX) port that gives access to more powerful debugging features that include non intrusive data and program trace.

An evaluation kit is available for AVR32 UC3A Series devices. The EVK1100 kit provides Ethernet and USB interfaces, along with many other serial communications ports such as SPI, TWI and USARTS. A 20x4 character LCD and the expansion connector allow advanced product evaluation and prototyping activities.

The EVK1101 is an evaluation kit and development system for the AVR32 AT32UC3B microcontroller. It provides USB interface, along with many other serial communications ports such as SPI, TWI and USARTS.
