I don't know which kind of firmware the most recent JTAGICE3s have been shipping with. If it's still the older one (VID/PID 0x3EB/0x2110), then yes, as long as you don't allow Atmel Studio to upgrade that firmware, it will work. Should they already ship with a newer firmware (USB PID 0x2140), then you'd have to downgrade it, which gets you the difficulty about how to obtain the older firmware officially. Personally, I think the 0x2110 firmware was even better performing than the current one. The reason is that this HID cr*p triggers a lot of USB traffic that just contains nothing, whereas their previous private protocol concentrated on those things thar are important. But since Windows used to only offer HIDs a generic driver (sure, how else would your Windows sysadmin proceed if keyboard or mice drivers where asking for a vendor driver? ;-), all the (Windows) world is a "human interface" these days. :-( > What about the Dragon? Does AVR Studio also change that firmware? The Dragon (or its ancestor JTAGICEmkII) are fine, but they are slower than the recent devices (due to less processing power inside, and due to a USB 1.1 connection only), and they don't offer you the upgrade path to ARM devices. Again, it's not completely out of the question to have AVaRICE talk to an Atmel-ICE, it's just it takes someone to implement it. I'm sorry, but currently it doesn't seem I'm the person who's going to be able to spend the time into that. -- cheers, Joerg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
