AVR ISP USB Programmer

The AVRISP is a professional low cost InSystem Programmer covering all AVR 8-bit
RISC Micro Controllers. The programmer
connects to a PC through a standard USB
and draws the necessary power from the PC
USB port eliminating the need for an
additional power supply. It can also power
your target board upto 100ma from USB.
AVR Studio is used as front-end software,
giving you a highly integrated development
solution.
Programmer also supports AT89S51 and AT89S52 ICs along with all other AVR ICs.

Features

AVR Studio Interface

ISP Programming of all AVR Devices
Programs both Flash and EEPROM
Supports Fuses and Lock Bit Programming

Getting started for first time use

Step #1 Connect Device to USB Port
Plug in one end of USB Cable to PCs USB Port and another end to Programmer. Please note that
USB driver requires the hardware to be connected to PC else it will fail setup.
Step #2 Install USB Driver
Insert the CDROM provided with programmer.
There will be a folder called 1. USB Driver. It
contains a file README.TXT with instructions
related to install of USB Driver as per your
operating system.
Just to check, Now you should be able to see a Virtual COM port
in your Device manager as shown here. It will be called USB
Communications Port(COMx).
To open device manager right click My Computer and click properties. In this window see Hardware > Device Manager > Ports.

Step #3 Install Programming Software AVR Studio

Run setup by clicking AvrStudio4Setup.exe file from CDROM.
Follow onscreen instructions to setup leaving everything as default. This will install AVR Studio in
Start Menu.
Now you are done installing software and setup. In following section we will see how to prepare
target board and start using AVR Studio.

Understanding ICSP Connector

The programming connector is 2x5 type 10 pin Box Header. This connector is in the programmer as
well required in target
rget board. The connector has polarity protection slot to prevent accidently
reverse connection and damage to programmer or target board.
Target Board connector is same as on programmer which is connected through 10 way FRC cable.

Target Board
The programmer needs a target board with supported chip to load program into. The programmer
will check though VCC pin, if your target board is powered on though external power supply, If it
fails to detect +5V on VCC pin, it will give +5V to your target board limited to 100mA. If your target
board takes more than 100mA, then it is advisable to use external power supply to your target
board. VCC connection (pin 2 of ICSP) is optional and can be left out to keep voltage from
programmer and target board separate.
Crystal can be of any value. Once programming is finished the reset pin is released and target chip
is put to run mode.
Minimum required schematic for your target board is described below for 40 pin AVR chip
ATMEGA16 or similar IC. Your target board can have a 10 pin connector for ICSP. Make sure that
the MOSI, MISO, SCK pins are not connected in your target hardware to other units so that it would
not affect the programming signals.

Note for 3V target boards: If your target board is working from 3V then do not connect VCC pin
from programmer ISP to your target board because programmer can only provide 5V. In this case
you have to provide 3V externally to your target board with three 100R resistor in series for signals
of MOSI, RST and SCK to drop down ISP signal voltage. MISO does not need this resistor.

Using Programmer with AVR programming adapter

You can use this programmer with our AVR Programming
Adapter board which can be purchased separately.

AVR Programming Adapter

Schematic is given in its datasheet
http://www.sunrom.com/p-529.html

It can be used instead of your target board for quick

programming of many AVR ICs. It has IC sockets which
supports many AVR ICs. You cannot run programs in this
adapter but you can only program various ICs.
Programmer will automatically power this adapter board.

Using Programmer with AVR Development Board

You can easily use it with any development board like below to load programs. If your development
board uses more than 100mA then power external power to development board else programmer
will automatically power your target development board.
It supports development board or all AVR ICs as well as AT89S51/AT89S52

Using Programmer with 89Sxx programming adapter

You can use this programmer with our 89Sxx Programming
Adapter board which can be purchased separately to program
AT89S51 and AT89S52 ICs. Programmer will automatically power
this adapter board.

Using AVR Studio to load program

You can start programming software from going to Start Menu > AVR Studio.

Click Connect
From next time use you can
use AutoConnect option to
quick start the interface.

Select AVRISP and

Click Connect

Troubleshooting Note: If you are getting this Connect Fail screen again and again after clicking
connect means software is not able to connect to your programmer. It is possible that USB virtual
com port is not installed or hardware is not connected. Also your COM port should be between
COM1 to COM9. You can change the com port from your Device Manager.
Also if our target board is drawing more current the USB voltage could drop. Try removing target
hardware and connect. You can check target voltage with meter.

Select your target

device and try reading
signature. If it reads
ok without error,
connection is ok.

Browse for a HEX file

and click Program. It
should finish without
errors.

LED Blink Program

LED Test folder on CDROM contains sample project source code in WinAVR compiler. It also
includes compiled HEX file which you can load into any AVR controller.
The HEX file is compiled for ATMEGA8 controller.
Hex file is located at LED Test\output\BlinkLED.hex
To use this HEX with other AVR controller you have to recompile it. See
steps below
BlinkLED.aps is project file for AVR Studio, You can click it to open and
compile in AVR Studio. If you want to change the target
chip

Select your target chip

and click OK

Right click the project

tree and select this
option.
Recompile the project
for generating new
HEX file
