Debugging and Programming
All XMEGA devices include a non-intrusive On-Chip Debug system that requires no device resources.
This gives real time access to all peripheral registers, data and program memories, and support unlimited
number of break points. XMEGA has a fast, serial programming interface for production line- or in system
programming. Using a bootloader XMEGA can receive flash upgrades in the field through any interface
without reset or halt of critical program execution. The crypto engine and a serial number in each device
ease implementation of safe crypto bootloaders, networking applications, authentication and life cycle
product tracking.

AVR Documentation and Software — ready, steady, go!
With both devices and tools available designers need good documentation. From the smallest devices to
the largest processors, reference datasheets describing features and use are available from the Atmel web
pages. Free application notes and library with complete code make it easy to start development. Partner
software brings your product to the market with no hassle.
