Someone mentioned MkII clones. When I a search on eBay, perhaps to find a used MkII, I found several items:
http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38.l1313&_nkw=jtagice+mkii&_sacat=See-All-Categories However, all were clones. Most from China. Specifically this one item was listed: http://cgi.ebay.com/AVR-JTAGICE-mkII-clone-support-AVR32-JTAG-ISP-debugwire_W0QQitemZ140269280491QQcmdZViewItemQQptZBI_Electronic_Components?hash=item140269280491&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 Here's what bothers me about it though. From their text: "Tis item is 100% compatible with Atmel's AT JTAGICE mkII, It supports AVR32 series of MCUs and can upgrade with avrstudio's upgrade tool." In order to be 100% compatible, and be upgradable via AVRStudio, somebody has either 1) OEM'ed the MkII, 2) successfully cloned (clean room approach), or 3) "cloned" it (as it pirated). I don't think it is #1, since we would probably see OEMs from more than China. And #2 would mean there are probably going to be issues, and Atmel won't support it. Good luck getting support from China. So I suspect #3. And that means no support and probably issues in quality. Just my $0.02 worth. -- -- "To love for the sake of being loved is human; to love for the sake of loving is Angelic." -- Alphonse de Lamartine _______________________________________________ AVR-chat mailing list AVR-chat@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat
