Supported boards

Supported Arduino boards

All Arduino boards equipped with one of the chips mentioned as supported are supported in one way or another. As usual, tested boards are marked in boldface, and those known not to work are struck out. In addition, the board packages supporting the boards and possible board modifications are mentioned:

  • Arduino Yún
  • Arduino UNO R3: Supported by MiniCore; the RESET EN solder bridge needs to be cut
  • Arduino UNO Mini: Supported by MiniCore; remove capacitor C3
  • Arduino Duemilanove: Supported by MiniCore; RESET EN needs to be cut
  • Arduino Diecimila: Supported by MiniCore; remove 100nF capacitor
  • Arduino Nano: Supported by Minicore; only clones can be modified
  • Arduino Mega: no core yet
  • Arduino Mega 2560: no core yet
  • Arduino Mega ADK: no core yet
  • Arduino Leonardo: no core yet
  • Arduino Leonardo ETH: no core yet

  • Arduino Linino One: no core yet
  • Arduino UNO WiFi (Rev 1): MiniCore; cut RESET EN solder bridge

Supported Microchip boards

The supported Microchip boards all have an embedded debugger on board, which makes it easy to work with. You do not have boards physically or, e.g., to change fuses in SPI before switching to JTAG. When working with debugWIRE targets, the power-cycling is done automatically.

  • ATmega328P, ATmega168PB, and ATmega328PB Xplained Mini: Supported by MiniCore; choose 16 MHz external, no bootloader, the correct variant, and as the Programmer Xplained Mini. The port should be set to the USB port opened by the board. You can upload code to the board using the command Upload Using Programmer. Serial I/O can be used via the Serial Monitor of the IDE. Debugging can be activated by simply using the debugging button. Power-cycling (for enabling debugWIRE mode) is done automatically. Note that you can plug Arduino shields on top of the boards if you solder headers to the boards.
  • ATmega324PB Xplained Pro: No core yet. Serial I/O is routed via Serial1 instead of Serial. The LED is connected to digital pin 23.
  • AT90USBKEY (AT90USB1287): no core yet
  • ATmega256RFR2 Xplained Pro: no core yet
  • AVR Butterfly (ATmega169): no core yet
