Looking for UPDI programmer

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi everyone!

I'm working on a project that will use an AVR32DA32-E/PT microcontroller. I want to use Atmel Studio for this project and I don't have any UPDI programmers yet. Can you recommend some supported programmers/debuggers that doesn't cost fortunes and is supported by both Arduino IDE and Atmel Studio? (The latter is more important)

Thank you in advance!

I've used AVR Dragon but I'm not quite sure if UPDI is the same a PDI

AVR Dragon (microchip.com)

It works with Atmel Studio

This is the one I have:

I haven't tried it with Atmel Studio, but it is mentioned in the documentation:

I would expect it to be supported since it's running the same mEDBG firmware as the Atmel/Microchip dev boards:

Which version of Studio are you using?

FWIW, the Atmel Dragon only supports the older 2 wire PDI interface which is not compatible with the newer 1 wire UDPI interface.

In a pinch for the Arduino IDE, Dr Azzy’s UPDI programmer works with the common atMega328.

It looks like that should work with Studio 7, based on this:

I'm using Studio 7. I guess AVR/DAs would have to wait till I get a more modern programmer.
