Target Socket Section

Note: Only one AVR device should be inserted in the sockets at a time.

The AVR flash memory is guaranteed to be correct after 1000 programming operations, the typical lifetime of the flash memory is much longer.

Note: When inserting a device in the socket, notice the orientation of the device.

The notch on the short side of the part must match the notch on the socket. If the device is inserted the wrong way, it may damage the part and the starter kit.

The socket section is used for both running application and target device programming.

The part inserted in the socket can be programmed in the system from AVR Studio with two different methods:

1. AVR In-System Programming (ISP) running at the parts normal supply voltage.
2. High voltage programming, where the supply voltage is always 5 volts.

4 general nets (Vtarget, RESET, XTAL1, and AREF) can be connected to the socket section.

The following sections describe how to use both programming methods. For instruction of using the AVR studio programming software, see "Using AVR Studio".
