XMega100 Breakout
sku: BOB-09546
Description: This is a breakout board for the 100-pin TQFP package of Atmel's ATxmega128A1. The ATxmega128A1 is a low power, high performance and peripheral rich CMOS 8/16-bit microcontroller based on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture.Among the chip's many features are 128kB of flash memory, 8 kB SRAM, 78 I/O pins, eight 16-bit timers, sixteen 12-bit ADCs, four 12-bit DACs, eight USART, four SPI and four TWI interfaces. This powerful chip can process up to 32 MIPS when running at its maximum clock speed of 32MHz. The operating voltage of the xmega is 1.6 to 3.6VDC.
All VCC pins of the ATxmega128A1 are connected together and brought out to a single header pin, same goes for the GND and AVCC pins of the chip. We've also included decoupling capacitors, and a red power indicator LED; but beyond those we've tried to keep the board as simple and straightforward as possible. If you want to start developing with this chip, but don't want to deal with soldering it, this is the board for you!
Note: The 6 pins labeled ICSP are used to program the board through the PDI interface using the common 6 pin ICSP cable found on most AVR programmers. Also, this board ships with the example code shown below and the JTAGEN bit set to 1 (JTAG disabled, PDI enabled).
Features:
- All pins of the ATxmega128A1 broken out to 0.1" spaced pins
- 0.1uF decoupling capacitors placed near VCC inputs of the chip
- 2x3 AVR ICSP connector broken out
- Red power indicator LED

It would be nice if this were labeled correctly to avoid confusion, but at least the port is useful as-is.

It's about time sparkfun got ahold of the Xmegas. They're powerful little chips
You could add that external crystal if you want higher accuracy for something like timekeeping.
I agree, reworking the arduino mega boot loader and having the option to buy this BOB with it preinstalled would be a definite seller
Right now the runtime and bootloader run only on the xplain. I'm now in the process of porting to the sfe xmega100 breakout. I may also give a crack at porting to the stack foundaries boards, and boston androids.
Has the JTAG to PDI adapter pinout, and it works on a JTAGICEmk2. I'll try the dragon later when I have a chance.
First, the JTAGEN fuse is UNPROGRAMMED, so the upper 4 pins of port B (4-7 are TMS/TDI/TCK/TDO) won't act as JTAG until this is done.
The Dragon won't do PDI (but I had access to a JTAGICE), but will recognize and do JTAG if you enable this bit.
When I try to do this with the avrisp2, I get the message:
avrdude: usbdev_open(): Found AVRISP mkII, serno: 0000B0041148
avrdude: usbdev_open(): error setting configuration 1:
usb_set_configuration(SetConfiguration): device not opened for exclusive access
avrdude: usbdev_open(): did not find any USB device "usb"
When I try to do this with a dragon:
avrdude: jtagmkII_recv(): Got message seqno 1 (command_sequence == 1)
avrdude: Recv: . [a0]
Raw message:
