I need a programmer for ATXMEGA128A1(8-bit) and AT32UC3A (32-bit Controller)...

As i am not able to find any programmer for these controllers...

Please some one help me...
How can i program these controllers...
I can purchase the programmer (I am from India)

Thanks in Advance

These devices require the a programmer/debugger from the following list:

AVR Dragon

AVR JTAGICE mkII

JTAGICE 3

I've heard varying reports concerning clones and their viability and would therefore recommend purchasing an AVR Dragon over the purchase of a clone.

There are several distributors located in India which stock the above ATMEL programmer/debuggers, the AVR Dragon would be the cheapest option out of the three.

Thanks for reply...

I searched AVR Dragon on internet and found some topics.

and came to a conclusion that...
We have to make a small prototype with the controller to program and then have to connect this with the avr dragon and program it.....

Please tell me whether i am right or wrong...

And i can i program any avr micro-controller with this avr dragon...

Please reply soon i have to purchase it as soon as possible..
 

The dragon supports the following interfaces described below, therefore it can program/debug most Atmel devices which offer these interfaces.

The AVR Dragon sets a new standard for low cost development tools for 8-bit and 32-bit AVR devices with On Chip Debug (OCD) capability. It can perform a symbolic debug on all devices with OCD with SPI, JTAG, PDI (selected devices), high voltage serial programming, parallel programming, and aWire modes, and supports debugging using SPI, JTAG, PDI interfaces.

A development area lets designers build their own circuitry or add sockets for the desired device footprint. The debugger also supports NanoTrace, depending on the OCD module on the AVR device, using the target device's memory.
Key Features

Supports up to 3 hardware program breakpoints or 1 maskable data breakpoint (depending on the OCD mo
Supports up to 32 software breakpoints
On-board 128kB SRAM for fast statement-level stepping
Robust level converters support 1.8V to 5.5V target operation
Uploads 256Kb code in ~60 seconds (XMEGA using JTAG interface)
Full-speed USB 2.0 compliant host interface (12 MB/s)
Firmware upgradeable for supporting future AVR devices
Supports NanoTrace (depending on the OCD module on the AVR device; uses target device's memory)
USB powered, and capable of sourcing power to an external target

Detailed information concerning the AVR Dragon and its use, is available in the AVR Studio Help System.

The following tutorial demonstrates in-circuit programming/debugging using the SPI, JTAG, PDI interfaces.

Introducing AVR Dragon

Also note it offers HVSP and PP as well.

Thanks for your reply...

Few minutes back i contacted the Atmel Distributor in India and they told me that...
we can't program the ATXMEGA128A1(8-bit) and AT32UC3A (32-bit Controller)... with the AVR Dragon

and told me to buy AVR Dragon 3..
I don't know what is this now...

Can you please tell me what is this AVR Dragon 3...
 

Rubbish!

It sound like they are trying to sell you a JTAGICE 3 which is three or four times the price of an AVR Dragon. As far as I know there is no AVR Dragon 3, but I could be wrong.

The following is the Atmel's AVR Dragon device compatibility page, both the ATXMEGA128A1(8-bit) and AT32UC3A (32-bit Controller) are listed:

AVR Dragon Compatible Devices

A more up to date list of compatible devices is available in the AVR Studio.

Thanks for your reply....

I will try to contact them again and will explain them and will try to get more knowledge on this subject...

As per the information i gathered i think you are absolutely right....
 

I dont think there are different versions of AVR Dragon.

It should be Jtagice 3
