Using Arduino UNO as UPDI Programmer/Debugger in Atmel Studio for AVR128DA28

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

I have an AVR128DA28 stand alone Chip (Datasheet: https://www.mouser.de/pdfDocs/AVR128DA28-32-48-64-Data-Sheet-40002183C.pdf) at home and want to program and debug it using an Arduino Uno as a programmer. The AVR128DA chip get's as I've seen programmed via UPDI and because I want to use Microchips' QTouch library Atmel Studio would be, to my knowledge, the best IDE to use.

So far, I programmed jtag2updi (GitHub - ElTangas/jtag2updi: UPDI programmer software for Arduino (targets Tiny AVR-0/1/2, Mega AVR-0 and AVR-DA/DB MCUs)) on my Uno and wired everything similar to this ATTiny wiring which can be seen in the picture or in the video at 1:00min (UPDI Programmer using Arduino Uno for ATTiny 0-Series 1-Series etc - YouTube)

---> but n the project properties, Atmel Studio doesn't list my Uno as programmer and thus I have no option to program my AVR128DA28.

Does anyone has experience in using the UNO as UPDI Programmer in Atmel Studio? Is this in general possible? Or do I need to buy an extra Programming/Debugging tool like Atmel-ICE or PICkit4?

Thank you for the answer Juraj, I read that readme part already several times, but probably I am way too much of a newbie in the MC world appart from Arduino to get the transfer to Amtel Studio now...
How is the usual porcess?

  1. Program jtag2updi on Arduino
  2. ?

I would try

Unfortunately the qtouch library is not supported for the Arduino IDE that's why I need to use Atmel Studio...

but it doesn't matter how you upload the bootloader.
you could use avrdude from command line

Studio pretty much doesn’t support any non-official Microchip programmers, but you should be able to find instructions for adding “external” tools like avrdude…
