Using the TinyUSBboard as AVR programmer
The TinyUSBboard can be used as an AVR programmer.
We need to upload the programmer.hex to the board and after that it can be used as USBasp for programming.
Download the software
Download the programming .hex file from the Matrixstorm website:
(and safe it as rev3_usbaspprogrammer.hex)
Connect TinyUSBboard (rev.3 and the SMT rev.4) to usb
Browse in the terminal to rev3_usbaspprogrammer.hex.
Check with avrdude if the board is ready
avrdude -c usbasp -p m8
Avrdude will show that the device is ready
(if not press the program button ... and while pressing the program button click on the reset button)
Load the programmer software
avrdude -c usbasp -p m8 -F -u -U flash:w:rev3_usbaspprogrammer.hex
Now the TinyUSBboard is ready to be used as USBasp programmer (with both Avrdude and the Arduino IDE)
