ATSTK500 Datasheet PDF - Microchip

The STK500 is an starter kit and development system for Atmel AVR flash microcontrollers which enables designers to quickly begin AVR code development, engineer prototypes, and test new designs. The kit interfaces with AVR studio, Atmel"s integrated development environment (IDE) for code writing and debugging. Expansion cards are available for the different AVR sub families and larger devices. The STK500 supports all programming modes of all AVR microcontrollers in the sockets as well as ISP programming of external target systems. The AVR i/o ports are accessible on pin headers that can be used for connecting the on board LED"s and push buttons, or external signals. The extra RS232 port can be connected to any of the i/o pins.
