The AVRISP is now the AVRISP mkII. However, as far as I know, it only programs Atmel AVR 8-bit MCUs. It might be on the Gumstix site because they offer the Robostix, which is based on an ATmega128 and has a connector to mate with the Gumstix.Right, I'm interested in the Robostix, not the Gumstix. So does the AVRISP mkII work OK with avrdude under linux?I see digikey has an ATAVRISP2 listed, but no price/not in stock. Do you know ofanother vendor that sells online and has them in stock?
Probably works fine, but I use Mac OS X. The AVARISP only has USB, so there might be issues if you can't get USB to work. I think it works well, from what I've inferred.
You can program the Atmel AVR in C on a PC and download to it via AVRISP or (much better for debugging) JTAGICE mkII (about $300).What software works with the JTAGICE mkII under linux?
The avr-gcc toolchain, avr-gdb, avarice. I've never gotten avrdude to work, but I've been able to do all I need with avarice (note that it uses a different set of pins; no SPI).
Like I said, I'm just trying to get started and am overwhelmed by both thenumber of choices and the incomplete information at the moment, so I appreciate your help.
You want to get the toolchain and related tools. I used this page as a guide. Things I did differently: I put everything under /usr/local/ avr (using --prefix=/usr/local/avr for the ./configure steps), and I got the latest version of each package. I also configured gcc to build both C and C++ compilers. I didn't bother with uisp (it's been superseded by avrdude) The page is Mac OS X-specific, but I suspect you'll need to make very few changes to get it to work.
