• Atmel Studio - Free IDE for the development of C/C++ and assembler code for microcontrollers.
• MPLAB^®X IDE - MPLAB^® X IDE is a software program that runs on a PC (Windows^®, Mac OS^®, Linux^®) to develop applications for Microchip microcontrollers and digital signal controllers. It is called an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) because it provides a single integrated “environment” to develop code for embedded microcontrollers.
• Xplained Products - Xplained Evaluation Kits are a series of easy-to-use evaluation kits for Microchip microcontrollers and other Microchip products.
  • Xplained Nano - used for low pin count devices and provides a minimalistic solution with access to all I/O pins of the target microcontroller.
  • Xplained Mini - used for medium pin count devices and adds Arduino Uno compatible header footprint and a prototyping area.
  • Xplained Pro - used for medium-to-high pin count devices that feature advanced debugging and standardized extensions for peripheral functions.
  Note: All the above kits have on-board programmers/debuggers, which creates a set of low-cost boards for evaluation and demonstration of features and capabilities of different Microchip products.
• QTouch^®Tools - A collection of tools to design capacitive touch applications.
• Atmel START - Atmel START is an online tool that helps the user to select and configure software components and tailor your embedded application in a usable and optimized manner.
