The STK501 board is a top module designed to add ATmega103(L) and ATmega128(L) support to the STK500 development board from Atmel Corporation. With this board the STK500 is extended to support all current AVR devices in a single development environment.
The STK501 includes connectors, jumpers and hardware allowing full utilization of the new features of the ATmega128(L) while the Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket allows easy use of TQFP packages for prototyping.
This user guide acts as a general getting started guide as well as a complete technical reference for advanced users.
In addition to adding support for new devices, it also adds new support for peripherals previously not supported by the STK500. An additional RS-232 port and external SRAM interface are among the new features. Devices with dual UART or XRAM interface can all take advantage of the new resources on the STK501 board.
