Overview

The debugWIRE On-chip debug system uses a One-wire, bi-directional interface to control the

program flow, execute AVR instructions in the CPU and to program the different non-volatile

memories.

20.3

Physical Interface

When the debugWIRE Enable (DWEN) Fuse is programmed and Lock bits are unprogrammed,

the debugWIRE system within the target device is activated. The RESET port pin is configured

as a wire-AND (open-drain) bi-directional I/O pin with pull-up enabled and becomes the commu-

nication gateway between target and emulator.

Figure 20-1. The debugWIRE Setup

Figure 20-1 shows the schematic of a target MCU, with debugWIRE enabled, and the emulator

connector. The system clock is not affected by debugWIRE and will always be the clock source

selected by the CKSEL Fuses.
