AVR600
8293-AVR-02/10
• 2 pcs. Sub gigahertz SMA stub antenna. Used with the AT86RF212 radio
transceiver.
• 2 pcs. Bag with wires and squid cable: The squid cable fits the radio frequency
boards and will enable wiring to a hardware that does not contain the standard
Atmel 10-pin accessory header.
• 1 pcs. Technical Library CD

3.3 Quick Start Guide
To following sequence is suggested when testing the evaluation application the
RZ600 kit:
1. Unpack the kit and verify contents
2. Identify the processor boards and select two radio frequency boards with the same radio
transceiver mounted. It is suggested to do this even though there are two different radio
transceivers for the 2.4GHz band that are fully compatible with each other: AT86RF230 vs.
AT86RF231.
3. Mount a radio frequency board to each of the processor boards
4. Insert the assembly into a free USB port on the computer.
5. Let the devices enumerate – they should become available as two CDC virtual COM ports.
6. Open two terminal windows and start typing. Verify that the text in the two terminals is the
same.
