A target interface is a mechanism for communicating with and controlling a target. A target can be either a physical hardware device or a software simulation of a device. CrossStudio has a targets window for viewing and manipulating target interfaces. For more information on the targets window, see Targets window.
Before you can use a target interface, you must connect to it. You can only connect to a single target interface at any one time. For more information on connecting target interfaces, see Connecting to a target.
In this section
- AVR core simulator target interface
- A software-simulated AVR core that supports program download and debugging. The software simulator is an effective way of testing and debugging programs in a simulated environment.
- JTAG ICE target interface
- A target interface which supports the Atmel JTAG ICE that supports program download to flash and debugging. Using the JTAG ICE you can debug applications on your target board.
- JTAGICE mkII target interface
- A target interface which supports the Atmel JTAGICE mkII that supports program download to flash and debugging. Using the JTAGICE mkII you can debug applications on your target board.
- STK500-High Voltage target interface
- A target interface which supports the Atmel STK500 parallel and serial high voltage programming of flash.
- STK500-ISP/AVRISP target interface
- A target interface which supports the Atmel STK500-ISP or Atmel AVRISP programming of flash.
- AVRISP mkII target interface
- A target interface which supports the Atmel AVRISP mkII programming of flash.
