# AVR128DA48 USART Hello World Code Example

This repository provides an Atmel Studio solution with a bare metal code example for a basic USART communication.
This example demonstrates the basic functionality of the USART peripheral. The message "Hello world!" is sent through TXd (PC0) pin every one second and can be viewed using a terminal on a PC.
