@brief Support for using the ATmega328p as standalone board
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The ATmega328p is most popular in the Arduino UNO. However, the 28 PDIP package
|
|
of the ATmega328p can easily be used without any "board": Just place it on a
|
|
bread board, and connect a TTL adapter and an ISP and you're ready to go.
|
|
|
|
The ATmega328p has two internal oscillators, one clocked at 8MHz and one at
|
|
128kHz. By default the fuses of the ATmega328p are configured that the internal
|
|
8MHz oscillator can be used. This allows the ATmega328p to be operated without
|
|
any external components at a supply voltage anywhere between 2.7V and 5.5V.

### Clock Frequency
|
|
|
|
The ATmega328p has two internal oscillators clocked at 8MHz and at 128kHz that
|
|
allow it to be operated without any external clock source or crystal. By default
|
|
the fuses are configured to use the internal 8MHz oscillator and a clock divider
|
|
resulting in a clock speed of 1MHz. By clearing the `CKDIV8` fuse the clock
|
|
divider can be disabled to operate the ATmega328p at 8MHz without an external
|
|
clock source. This can be done like this:
|
|
|
|
avrdude -c usbtiny -p m328p -B 32 -U lfuse:w:0xe2:m
|
|
|
|
(Replace `usbtiny` with the ISP programmer you are using. The `-B 32` might
|
|
be needed on some ISP programmers to communicate with slow ATmega MCUs. It will
|
|
not be needed anymore after the clock device has been disabled.)
|
|
|
|
This "board" is configured to use 8MHz as core clock, so that the ATmega328p
|
|
runs at the highest frequency possible without external clock sources.
|
|
|
|
By setting the environment variable `ATMEGA328P_CLOCK` to a custom frequency in
|
|
Hz (e.g. `1000000` for 1MHz), this core clock can be changed easily. Refer to
|
|
the datasheet on how to configure the ATmega328p to use an external crystal,
|
|
an external clock source or the clock divider.
|
|
|
|
### Relation Between Supply Voltage, Clock Frequency and Power Consumption
|
|
|
|
A higher supply voltage results in a higher current drawn. Thus, lower power
|
|
consumption can be achieved by using a lower supply voltage. However, higher
|
|
clock frequencies require higher supply voltages for reliable operation.
|
|
|
|
The lowest possible supply voltage at 8 MHz is 2.7V (with some safety margin),
|
|
which results in an active supply current of less than 3 mA (about 8 mW power
|
|
consumption) according to the datasheet. At 1 MHz core clock a supply voltage of
|
|
1.8V is possible resulting in an active supply current of less than 0.3 mA
|
|
(about 0.5 mW power consumption). For more details, refer to the official
|
|
datasheet.
|
|
|
|
## Flashing the Device
|
|
|
|
In order to flash the ATmega328P without a bootloader, an ICSP programmer is
|
|
needed. Connect the programmer as follows:
|
|
|
|
| ISCP pin | ATmega328p pin |
|
|
|:-------- |:-------------- |
|
|
| MISO | 18/PB4/MISO |
|
|
| VCC | 7/VCC |
|
|
| SCK | 19/PB5/SCK |
|
|
| MOSI | 17/PB3/MOSI |
|
|
| RESET | 1/RESET |
|
|
| Ground | 22/GND |
|
|
|
|
The tool `avrdude` needs to be installed. When using the `usbtiny` (or one of
|
|
the super cheap clones) running
|
|
|
|
make BOARD=atmega328p flash
|
|
|
|
will take care of everything. To use the programmer `<FOOBAR>` instead, run
|
|
|
|
make BOARD=atmega328p PROGRAMMER=<FOOBAR> flash
|
|
|
|
## Serial Terminal
|
|
|
|
Connect a TTL adapter with pins 2/RXD and 3/TXD an run
|
|
|
|
make BOARD=atmega328p term
|
|
|
|
Please note that the supply voltage should be compatible with the logic level of
|
|
the TTL adapter. Usually everything between 3.3 V and 5 V should work.
|
|
|
|
## Caution
|
|
Don't expect having a working network stack due to very limited resources ;-)
