USB device to load program into AVR (ATmega, ATtiny ...)

This project's aim it to program AVR devices.

I have used an atMega8 into this design to convert data from USB to ISP protocol.

 

The firmware of this device is based on source code of similar project: USBtinyISP (https://learn.adafruit.com/usbtinyisp).

 

Avrdude recognize this device as an USBtinyISP device (no patch needed for avrdude).

 

PCB has already been produced for this device, and it works :)

Photo has been taken on version 1.0 of this project (some manual modifications have been done).

 

Project updated to revision 1.2.
