INFO:
AVR-ISP500
is fast and reliable USB AVR programmer, working directly with AVR Studio.
It si recognized as STK500 programmer and programs all AVRs. As it used
USB CDC no need for drivers and works under Windows, Linux and MacOS. If
you do not want to use AVRStudio you can use AVR-ISP500 with AVR Dude.
FEATURES
-
connects
to PC via USB 2.0 Full speed
-
no need
for external power supply as it takes the power supply from USB
-
uses Atmel's
2x5 pin ICSP and 2x3 connector layout
-
dimensions
45x30 mm (1.7x1.2") + 20 cm (8") cable

INFORMATION
To
get BASCOM AVR Running with the usb programmer:
1.
Download AVRStudio from the ATmel website
(http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=2725)
2.
Install AVR Studio , make sure that the box for STK500 is selected
3.
In BASCOM-AVR go to Options-Programmer
4.
Select Programmer STK500
5.
For the STK500.EXE option browse to the folder where AVRStudio was installed
(ie:
C:\Program Files\Atmel\AVR Tools\STK500\Stk500.exe)
6.
Restart BASCOM AVR
My
machine selected COM-port 2 and BAUD 9600 and works OK
the
selection option for USB is blank
Running
AVR-ISP500 on the MAC:
Find
out which serial device file has MacOS assigned to AVR-ISP500 by
executing
the following command line:
ls /dev/cu.*
Then
look for a file named like /dev/cu.usbmodem000010471 - this is your
serial port which must be given to avrdude, like this:
avrdude -p m88 -B 50 -c stk500v2 -P /dev/cu.usbmodem000010471 -e -U
flash:w:blinkled.hex
Below
is a session log of using avrdude under MacOS.

Feedback

- Just a little more feedback on running AVRISP500TINY on a Mac although
this is not Mac/PC related.
I
discovered that AVRDude's default bitclock rate (it defaults to 1.0) is
on the edge of failure for programming an AT90S2313-4PC running on a 4MHz
Xtal on a rough development board. Using the -B option to slow it a little
makes the procedure way more reliable. Herewith the commandline for
AVRDude
avrdude
-c stk500v2 -p 2313 -U flash:w:main.hex:i -P /dev/cu.usbmodem3a21
-e -B 1.1
The
failure looks as follows:
avrdude:
stk500v2_command(): unknown status 0x80
avrdude:
stk500v2_command(): unknown status 0xc9
avrdude:
stk500v2_program_enable(): cannot get connection status
avrdude:
initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
I suspect
it would work OK with the default once a decent PCB layout has been made.
But, when it fails, it is not clear why from the error messages and leads
you to believe that the ISP port was not connected or wired up correctly.

and
some more feedback...
In
June 2008 I emailed you requesting advice. I had a stock of ATMEL AT90S8535
microcontrollers and my copy of BASCOM-AVR 1.11.8.3, and I was after a
compatible USB programming setup. You sold me an Olimex-AVR-ISP500
and an Olimex-AVR-P40N-8535-8MHz. The ISP500 needed a copy of STK500.exe.
The first one I downloaded was a ver1.nn but I soon became aware that I
needed ver2.nn. I obtained a copy from the AVR website by downloading
AVRStudio. The setup works well with AT90S8535s & ATMEGA8536s,
but one needs to change $crystal = 8000000 to $crystal = 1000000
for the MEGA chip to function. I use a USB to RS232 adaptor to access
the COM functions of the P40N board. I hope the information is of
some use to somebody. Thank you for your assistance. regards, Bob
