USBasp is a USB in-circuit programmer for Atmel AVR controllers. It simply consists of an ATMega88 or an ATMega8 and a couple of passive components. The programmer uses a firmware-only USB driver, no special USB controller is needed. USBasp is a low-cost programmer for AVR microcontrollers. It uses a pure software implementation of the USB communication protocol and it can be easily used with laptops.

Features

• Works under multiple platforms. Linux, Mac OS X and Windows are tested.
• No special controllers or smd components are needed.
• Programming speed is up to 5kBytes/sec.
• SCK option to support targets with low clock speed (< 1,5MHz).
• Planned: serial interface to target (e.g. for debugging).
• 10 pin ISP interface
• Allows you to to read or write the microcontroller EEPROM, firmware, fuse bits and lock bits
• Brand new and high quality
• Color:Black

On Linux and MacOS X no kernel driver is needed. Windows requires a driver for USBasp: usbasp-windriver.2011-05-28.zip (70 kB)
