“The Xplained Mini board supports low pin-count devices, includes an on-board debugger, along with example software projects,” an Atmel engineering rep told Bits & Pieces.

 “The new board is automatically detected by Atmel Studio and is extremely flexible with a large prototyping area for access to all MCU signals and an optional Arduino connector for extensibility.”
