#ARDUINO MEGA AS ISP PINOUT FULL#

What is it? A simple HAT board for the Arduino Mega, which connects to the ATMEL-ICE via JTAG and maintains access to all headers /signals.Again, I am very new to the Arduino universe, but I think the the following little board would be called a 'JTAG HAT'. The task was to find a convenient way to connect the ATMEL ICE to my Arduino Mega-clone board HW for debugging via JTAG.

Only to find out that microchip sells the full kit (which includes all common cables and an adapter) at a 50% discount until Feb 28th! See (no affiliation with the company) - The 'JTAG-HAT' for the Arduino Mega: So, I have placed an order at digikey and a few days later I became the proud owner of an inexpensive Atmel ICE board (again, in comparison to the prices 15.20 years ago!) I went for the basic kit, which comes with a 10-pin/6-pin cable and USB-micro cable. I was then glad to hear about the free ATMEL Visual Studio IDE - only to find out that a) The Arduino Mega2560 ♜ does not support the so-called debug-wire interface, but JTAG and b) I need an in-circuit-emulator/JTAG device. Support for any level of debugging, stepping commands, monitoring registers - nada. I am still at the very beginning, but it quickly became obvious that the Arduino 'IDE' is nothing but a programming tool - not a real development environment. An opportunity to get me back into programming - I was into VHDL and Motorola HC11-programming many, many moons ago- I am sure some of you will remember those days of expensive tools such as Codewarrior or IAR workbench and endless evenings dealing with mnemonics such as LDAA, LRSA etc. However, I became intrigued by the idea of a low-cost, fairly powerful ♜-platform over the past years.

Good Day my fellow Arduino enthusiasts, Prologue: I frankly admit it: I am late to the Arduino party.
