HARDWARE

USBasp - USB programmer for Atmel AVR controllers USBasp is a USB in-circuit programmer for Atmel AVR controllers. It simply consists of an ATMega48 or an ATMega8 and a couple of passive components. The programmer uses a firmware-only USB driver, no special USB controller is needed. Features Works under multiple platforms. Linux, Mac OS X and Windows are tested. No special controllers or smd components are needed. Programming speed is up to 5kBytes/sec. SCK option to support targets with low clock speed (< 1,5MHz). Planned: serial interface to target (e.g. for debugging). Download Firmware and circuit          The following packages include circuit and firmware Drivers On Linux and MacOS X no kernel driver is needed. Windows requires a driver for USBasp: usbasp-windriver.2009-02-28.zip (70 kB) Note: Windows Vista/7 x64 requires drivers with digital signature. Currently there are no official drivers for libusb (USBasp software is based on i
