About this manual

The document provides prerequisites, including basic microcontroller knowledge, C programming skills, Atmel AVR Studio 4.18 or later, and the Xplain evaluation board with a JTAGICE mkII. It then explains XMEGA concepts such as bit masks, group masks, and module registers.

Four practical tasks are covered: Basic LED control, Generic drivers, Output and pull‑configuration, and Multi‑configuration. Each task shows code examples, register usage, and step‑by‑step debugging instructions to help you start developing efficient XMEGA applications.

Frequently asked questions

What knowledge is required before starting the AVR1500 training?

You need basic knowledge of microcontrollers and the C programming language.

How can I change the LED port definition in the basic LED control task?

Edit the LEDPORT #define in the source file; changing this definition redirects the LED control to a different port.
