6. Parentah Operasi

Once the Atmel-ICE is physically connected to your target device and powered via USB, you can begin debugging or programming using your chosen Integrated Development Environment (IDE), such as Atmel Studio. The specific steps will vary depending on your IDE and the target microcontroller, but generally involve:

1. Pasang Supir: Ensure all necessary drivers for the Atmel-ICE are installed on your computer. These are typically included with Atmel Studio.
2. Connect Atmel-ICE: Connect the Atmel-ICE unit to your computer via the USB cable and to your target board using the appropriate ribbon cable and adapter.
3. Power Target: Ensure your target microcontroller board is powered correctly.
4. Open IDE: Launch your development environment (e.g., Atmel Studio).
5. Pilih Alat: In the IDE, select Atmel-ICE as your programming/debugging tool.
6. Configure Project: Configure your project settings to match your target microcontroller and the desired interface (JTAG, SWD, etc.).
7. Mimitian Sesi: Initiate a debugging session or program the device as required by your project.
