Strictly to the letter of their conditions, I wouldn't even be allowed to copy them out of an AVR Studio installation into my FreeBSD system. :-( Atmel ensured us though that copying information out of the XML files is OK, to whatever extent. Also, the XML files do only know that much detail as is required by AVR Studio and the other Atmel tools. As bit-bang direct ISP programming is not implemented in any Atmel tool (only inside the firmware of the STK500/AVRISP/JTAG ICE/Dragon), all the bit-bang programming information (low-level ISP commands) are missing from the XML files. Thus, it's not even possible to generate a full avrdude.conf[.in] entry out of an XML file. :-( Otherwise, I'd probably have written a XSL stylesheet for this already. You can find a couple of those in the tools/ subdirectory in the source tree (only available in the CVS version). If you want, use them as a boilerplate to create the missing STK500v2 snippets. (I always have a hard time remembering all those XSL details, but in the end, this method turned out to be the most straightforward one, compared to Perl or Python scripting.) -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
