{{Warningbox|This section has been recently updated for ChipWhisperer 5. The previous version can be found here: https://wiki.newae.com/V4:CW1173_ChipWhisperer-Lite/XMEGA_Programmer}}
The XMEGA device programmer requires only two connections to the target: clock (PDIC) and data (PDID). The PDIC line is usually shared with the RESET pin, and the PDID pin is a specific pin on the XMEGA device. See [[#20-Pin_Connector]] for details of XMEGA programming pin connections.The programmer can be accessed through <code>cw.programmers.XMEGAProgrammer</code>:
