Using USBTinyISP with Arduino IDE

Post by normlane »

Can someone point me to the stuff I have to do to use this with the Arduino IDE?

Thanks

I forgot to mention that I wanted to load sketches rather than just the bootloader. I finally remembered to edit boards.txt which was the missing piece. I haven't seen any reference to that so you might want to add something.

Can you please explain this further? Also, can changing the board.txt take the place of changing configurations through AVRDUDE? Meaning if I add this to the board.txt file:

lopower.name=Arduino Ultru Low-Power (<2.4V, 8 MHz) w/ ATmega328

lopower.upload.protocol=stk500
lopower.upload.maximum_size=30720
lopower.upload.speed=57600

lopower.bootloader.low_fuses=0xFF
lopower.bootloader.high_fuses=0xDA
lopower.bootloader.extended_fuses=0x06
lopower.bootloader.path=atmega
lopower.bootloader.file=ATmegaBOOT_168_atmega328_pro_8MHz.hex
lopower.bootloader.unlock_bits=0x3F
lopower.bootloader.lock_bits=0x0F

lopower.build.mcu=atmega328p
lopower.build.f_cpu=8000000L
lopower.build.core=arduino

would I still have to use the ISP and AVRDUDE?

Thanks.
