The Atmel JTAGICE mkII target interface provides access to Atmel’s JTAGICE mkII. Both USB and serial port host PC connections are supported as is JTAG, debugWIRE and ISP target connection. The JTAG and debugWIRE target connections support program loading and debugging. The JTAG and ISP connections support access to the lock bits and fuse bits. When debugging with the JTAG interface three hardware breakpoints are available for use, however one of these breakpoints will be needed for single stepping. Two of the hardware breakpoints can be used as data breakpoints. When debugging with the debugWIRE interface no hardware breakpoints are available.

Target window specific context menu entries
Disconnect (Disable debugWIRE).
This requires the ISP connection as well as the debugWIRE connection and will disable the DWEN fuse and disconnect.
Fuse Bits.
This displays the fuse bits editor.
Lock Bits.
This displays the fuse bits editor.
Connection property group
Baud Rate
The speed the serial port connection runs at.
Port Name
The name of the serial port.
External Reset
Specifies if an external reset is to be performed on JTAG device identify and chip erase.
Hardware Breakpoints
If set then only hardware breakpoints will be used. If not set then software breakpoints will be used unless a hardware breakpoint is specifically requested.
Hardware Version
The hardware version of the JTAGICE mkII.
Serial Number
The serial number of the JTAGICE mkII.
