• Programming of Non-volatile Memories
22.2 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.
22.3 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 22-1. The debugWIRE Setup
Figure 22-1 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.
When designing a system where debugWIRE will be used, the following observations must be
made for correct operation:
dW
GND
dW(RESET)
VCC
1.8 - 5.5V
