The Atmel-ICE unit requires that a front-end debugging environment Atmel Studio version 6.2 or later is installed on your computer. The Atmel-ICE should be connected to the host computer using the USB cable provided, or a certified Micro-USB cable.

How to turn the Atmel - ICE on?

The Atmel-ICE is powered by the USB bus voltage. It requires less than 100mA to operate, and can, therefore, be powered through a USB hub. The power LED will illuminate when the unit is plugged in. When not connected in an active programming or debugging session, the unit will enter low-power consumption mode to preserve your computer's battery. The Atmel-ICE cannot be powered down - it should be unplugged when not in use.

How does it connect?

The Atmel-ICE communicates primarily using a standard HID interface and does not require a special driver on the host computer. The Atmel-ICE must be connected to an available USB port on the host computer using the USB cable provided, or suitable USB certified micro cable. The Atmel-ICE contains a USB 2.0 compliant controller and can operate in both full-speed and high-speed modes. For best results, connect the Atmel-ICE directly to a USB 2.0 compliant high-speed hub on the host computer using the cable provided.
