Microchip's ATtiny817 Xplained Mini evaluation kit is a hardware platform for evaluating ATtiny817, ATtiny816, ATtiny814, and ATtiny417 microcontrollers. The Xplained Mini series evaluation kits include an on-board mini embedded debugger, and no external tools are necessary to program the ATtiny817. All Xplained Mini kits also have an Arduino UNO compatible header footprint and a prototyping area. It features two capacitive buttons for easy evaluation of the integrated QTouch® peripheral touch controller (PTC).

Xplained Mini is an evaluation platform that provides a set of small boards with access to all microcontroller I/Os. The platform consists of a series of low pin-count microcontroller (MCU) boards, which are integrated with Atmel Studio to present relevant user guides, application notes, datasheets, and example code. The platform also features a Virtual COM port for serial communication to a host PC.
