@all,
hier die neuesten XMega Infos in deutsch:
http://www.msc-ge.com/de/news/.../version/9
the latest XMega infos in english:
http://www.msc-ge.com/en/news/...?locale=en
Offensichtlich ist es so dass alle vorhandenen und neue XMegas die USB Hardware besitzen werden.
Die Absicht von Atmel ist es scheinbar die U und non-U Versionen eine zeitlang parallel laufen zu lassen. Irgendwann wird es die non-U Versionen nicht mehr geben. Ist aber kein Beinbruch, da die U-Versionen absolut pin und funktions kompatibel sind.
Obviously all new XMega devices provide USB support
It seems to be that Atmel runs both versions 'U' and non-'U' in parallel for a time. Lateron the non-U versions will be discarded and replaced by the U versions. But don't care, the U-version are completely pin and function compatible with their predecessors.

USB XMEGAs seem to finally have ADC working without problems:

@all,
we have an XMega256A3U (with USB) working here. There is absolutely no problem in this chip. Fantastic. We get an USB speed of 1MByte/s with very low CPU load.

Rolf,
So how is the rest of the development going?
SPI (Soft and hard), TWI (Soft and hard), Ethernet support, FAT16, RS485 network etc etc

Hello Neil,
since a long time all these drivers are implemented. Take a look into the demo section of the AVRco implementation.
Still missing is USB (coming soon) and Bootloader support (coming after PDI debug support).

Rolf,
Last time I looked, I was looking at the Wizard and what I could select.
Just trying now and things like the serial ports aren't available, so I assumed the RS485 network and Lan Network were also un-operational.
The TWI interface is also greyed out.
There are also lot's of other areas that I use in a standard Mega128 etc that are greyed out in the wizard.

Hi Neil,
Rolf is tonight no more available.
The Wizard must obviously wait until all the drivers are working.
So it's still necessary to copy (most of) the corresponding lines from the examples
to your source.

yes, Gunter is right.
There are some priorities how XMega support goes on:
XMega USB support (XMega U-types)
XMega PDI debugging, including ISP3 firmware updates
XMega Boot support
AppWizard XMega support

@all,
today I made some speed tests with an XMega128A1 using overclocking. Fantastic results !!!!
Of course I didn't test very much. But a small application runs without any problems.
Blinking LEDs, UART, ADC etc.

Hello Thorsten,
yes, overwelming. And the case temperature of the XMega stays at 5gradC above room temperature
Tomorrow we will test our new XMega USB driver with 64MHz. Its a very complex application. I'm curious about the results.

XMega users,
more and better tests showed that the secure limit of the XMega128A1 max clock is about 40MHz.
The XMega256A3U runs with 64MHz without any problems !!!
It seems that the new U-devices are more shrinked and have faster flash !

@all,
there a two new PDFs from Atmel concerning the differences between the non-"U" devices and the "U"-devices. Some differences maybe less important for existing or future designs, some differences maybe essential.
So one should be careful when selecting an XMega. To avoid any bad surprises I suggest reading these PDFs carefully will help the choice. Better is to use the "U" devices for new designs only.
One argument can be the speed results above

Please note:
-----------------
When XMega overclocking is used the supply voltage must be 3.3V...3.6V
The brownout level must be set to 2.6V...3.0Volt
The brownout values (fuses) differ somwhat between "U" and "non-U" devices.
Anyway, a proper setting of the brownout fuses is strongly recommended!
