Atmel spi programmer pro#

The Pololu USB AVR Programmer v2 (top) connected to an Adafruit Pro Trinket for programming.

Atmel spi programmer windows#

Older versions of Windows are not supported.

Atmel spi programmer mac os x#

We support using the Pololu USB AVR Programmer v2.1 and its configuration software on desktop versions of Windows (7, 8, and 10), Linux, and Mac OS X 10.11 or later. By default, the programmer expects the target to be self-powered, but it can be configured to deliver power to the target device in low-power systems. The programmer is designed for use with AVR microcontrollers running at either 3.3 V or 5 V. The programmer features upgradable firmware, allowing updates for future devices. We expect it to work with most AVRs in the megaAVR (ATmega) family, and it works with some members of the tinyAVR (ATtiny) family, but it does not support the Tiny Programming Interface (TPI), and it does not work with the XMEGA family or with 32-bit AVRs.

Atmel spi programmer serial#

The programmer should work with all AVRs that can be programmed with the AVR ISP (in-system programming) interface, which is also known as in-circuit serial programming (ICSP), serial programming, or serial downloading, but it has not been tested with all devices.

6-pin ISP cable and a 1×6 double-sided male header included.

All I/O pins are protected with 470 Ω resistors.

Provides a 100 kHz clock output, which can be useful for reviving misconfigured AVRs.

USB-to-TTL serial adapter functionality for general-purpose serial communication.

Can optionally power the target at 3.3 V or 5 V in low-power systems.

Supports both 3.3 V and 5 V devices can automatically switch operating voltage based on detected target VCC.

Configuration software available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

Works with standard AVR programming software, including Atmel Studio, AVRDUDE, and the Arduino IDE.

Emulates an STK500 programmer through virtual COM port interface.

Connects to a computer through USB via a USB A to Micro-B cable (not included).

This product requires a USB A to Micro-B cable to connect to a computer. The Pololu USB AVR Programmer v2.1 is a drop-in replacement for the older Pololu USB AVR Programmer v2 with several hardware improvements that are described in the “Comparison to previous AVR programmers” section below. It ships fully assembled with connectors soldered in as shown.

The programmer also acts as a USB-to-TTL serial adapter, providing a TTL-level serial port that can be used to communicate with other serial devices from your computer. The programmer connects to your target device via an included 6-pin ISP programming cable (the older, 10-pin ISP connections are not directly supported, but it’s easy to create or purchase a 6-pin-to-10-pin ISP adapter).

The programmer connects to your computer’s USB port via a standard USB A to Micro-B cable (not included) and communicates with your programming software, such as Atmel Studio, AVRDUDE, or the Arduino IDE, through a virtual COM port using the STK500 protocol. This programmer is designed to work well with both 3.3 V and 5 V devices, and it can even be configured to provide power to the target device in low-power systems. It can also be used to update, replace, or remove the bootloader on some Arduino boards including the Uno, Leonardo, and Mega, and also on our Arduino-compatible A-Star controllers. It is a good solution for programming AVR-based controllers like our A-Star 328PB Micro and Orangutan robot controllers. The programmer provides an interface for transferring a compiled AVR program from your computer to the target AVR’s non-volatile memory, allowing it to run the program. The Pololu USB AVR Programmer v2.1 is a compact, low-cost in-system programmer (ISP) for AVR microcontrollers from Atmel (now a part of Microchip).
