avrusb500v2 programmer, firmware download section


Warning: Please use an atmega8 to build this programmer!

It is possible to use other and more expensive chips but it does not result in a better programmer. The boot-able CD that is provided for initial firmware loaded when buying this programmer at shop.tuxgraphics.org is prepared to load the firmware into an atmega8 based avrusb500v2 programmer.
