MT-X1S Manual

Windows Installation

Before plugging in the MT-X1S for the first time, the latest software and drivers must be

downloaded. The MT-X1S is supported under Windows XP, Vista (32 and 64 bit), and Windows 7 (32

and 64 bit). There is limited support for Windows 2000. The MT-X1S appears as three different

devices to the PC depending on which mode is selected by the button and jumper. These devices are

the AVRISP mkII compatible programmer, the DFU bootloader for firmware updates of the USB AVR,

and the USB CDC device (Virtual COM port) which is used for configuration mode and the USB Serial

bridge. Therefore, three drivers are required. The AVRISP mkII and DFU drivers are included with

software available on the Atmel website. The CDC driver is included with Windows, but requires an .inf

file available on the MattairTech website. The following table lists the minimum versions of the

required software. If the software provides a driver, is is listed as well. See the Firmware Updates

section for installation of the DFU bootloader driver.

Atmel Studio (AVR Studio) / AVRISP mkII driver

Atmel Studio (formerly AVR Studio) is a free IDE provided by Atmel that runs on Windows

operating systems. It includes an assembler, debugger, simulator, and an AVR chip programming

utility. As of June 2012, there are three main versions supported, the 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x series. The 4.x

series is mature and stable, and can run on older hardware, however, it requires the use of the

WinAVR gcc toolchain, which is out of date. It also lacks proper support for newer devices, like the

XMEGA microcontrollers, but is a good option for older devices. AVR Studio 4.x is also smaller and

less demanding on PC resources. If you choose to use the 4.x series, download version 4.19. You will

also need to download and install WinAVR 20100110 prior to installation of AVR Studio. Both AVR

Studio 5.x and Atmel Studio 6.x are supported by the MT-X1S. They includes the compiler toolchain,

as well as the AVR Software Framework (ASF). Use of the 5.x or 6.x series is recommended for the

best support of the ATxmega128a1. Whichever version you choose, be sure to install the Jungo

drivers when asked, which include the AVRISP mkII driver needed by the MT-X1S AVR programmer.
