INTRODUCTION:
AVR-USB-STK is easy to use development board for the new AT90USB162
microcontroller. With AT90USB162 is very easy to develop USB
functionality to your next device, as Atmel provide free open source HID
(mouse, keyboard) and CDC (USB-to-RS232) code and on top of this
AT90USB162 cost is same as ATMega16, so what you are waiting for?
AVR-USB-STK board allow all USB features of AT90USB162 to be explored.
The board have USB connector, Joystick, RS232, SD-MMC card, Audio
output, ICSP connector and extension connector. All AT90USB162 come
from Atmel pre-programmed with bootloader which allow code to be
programmed inside the chip without any external programmer, just
download the FLIP software from Atmel web site and load your HEX code
inside AT90USB162. To enter the bootloader mode you should press and
hold HWB button, then press and release RST button. If you prefer to use
ICSP programmer note that only AVR-DRAGON and AVR-ISP-MK2 is
supporting AT90USB162 as these are pretty new devices, probably AVR
Dude will add support later, but for the moment you can't use AVR-PG1 or
AVR-PG2 for ICSP programming, another bad news is that AT90USB162
supports only debug Wire not JTAG so to debug it you should have the
expensive AT-JTAGICE-MK2 or AVR-DRAGON.
BOARD FEATURES:
- AT90USB162 microcontroller with 16KB Flash, 512B RAM, 512B
EEPROM
- ICSP 5x2 pin connector for in-circuit programming with AVR-ISP-MK2
(you generally don't need to use ICSP as you can program via USB)
- Debug Wire could be performed by 3 wires connected to ICSP (AT-
JTAGICE-MK2 have such lose wire connector which to be used, you
need VCC, GND, RST signals only)
- USB 2.0 Full speed connector
- RS232 driver and connector
- SD-MMC card connector
- Audio out 3.5 mm jack connector
- Extension connector with AVR port signals
- Status LED
- Joystick
- User button HWB (can be used to enter bootloader mode after reset)
- Reset button RST
- Takes power from USB no need for external adapter
- External power supply and voltage regulator if USB can't provide
enough power
- Quartz crystal oscillator circuit 8Mhz
- Extension pin headers for each uC pin
- Four mounting holes 3.3 mm (0.13")
- Grid 100 mils
- GND bus
- Vcc bus
- FR-4, 1.5 mm (0,062"), green soldermask, white silkscreen component
print
- Dimensions 77x72 mm (3x2.8")
