The firmware Atmel Studio pushes onto it gets at JTAGICE3 very close to the way the Atmel-ICE works, i.e. they changed the product ID, and implemented a completely different protocol (based on HID - everything in Windows is a "human interface", isn't it?). It's not that it's completely out of the question to implement the stuff needed. After all, the higher-level protocol is not that much different from what the JTAGICE3 is using. It's the low-level transport that makes it different. I did implement the Atmel-ICE support in AVRDUDE, but I'm not very happy with the way I did it. It works under FreeBSD, it mostly works under Linux, it has a hard time working under Windows or OSX though. The better way to do it were to base it on libhidapi (rather than libusb), as OpenOCD does. My idea was to first switch AVRDUDE to make it use libhidapi, and thus avoid doing the work twice in AVaRICE. Alas, that idea has been sitting around in my head for one and a half year now, without finding a sufficiently large enough timeslot to actually materialize. -- cheers, Joerg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
