AVR Programming


We have an AVRISP mkII programmer with us that can be used to flash AVR chips with firmware. We recommend using avrdude with the programmer. Its a simple command line program that talks to  the AVRISP. This page has all of it covered. The avrdude name for the AVRISP mkII programmer is "avrispmkII", (for the -c argument). Before an avr program can be flashed onto an avr chip, it needs to be compiled. Mac users can install CrossPack to setup a toochain for AVR. It installs avr-gcc, avrdude and other things needed to compile (and flash) avr projects.
