ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano Hardware User Guide

Preface

The ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano evaluation kit is a hardware platform to evaluate microcontrollers in the tinyAVR

series. This board has the ATtiny1607 microcontroller (MCU) mounted.

Supported by both MPLAB

X IDE and Microchip Studio, the board provides easy access to the features of the

ATtiny1607 to explore how to integrate the device into a custom design.

The Curiosity Nano series of evaluation boards include an on-board debugger. No external tools are necessary to

program and debug the ATtiny1607.

• MPLAB

X IDE and Microchip Studio - Software to discover, configure, develop, program, and debug

Microchip microcontrollers.

• Code examples in Atmel START - Get started with code examples or generate drivers for a custom

application.

• Code examples on GitHub - Get started with code examples.

• ATtiny1607 website - Find documentation, datasheets, sample, and purchase microcontrollers.

• ATtiny1607 Curiosity Nano website - Kit information, latest user guide, and design documentation.
