speed up usbtiny as programmer from arduino ide

Post by jeffob »

Is there anyway to speed up the usbtiny. I am programming an arduino pro mini 8Mhz using the usbtiny. i need all the space and i need the program to start up very fast, so i'm not using the bootloader. i'm familiar with editing boards.txt and programmers.txt.
any help is much appreciated.
thanks
jeffob

I'm not sure I understand. It's one thing to have your target processor run fast, but programming it is something that doesn't usually have any sort of time constraints on it. It can be annoying to wait for it, but we're only talking about a few seconds to upload a program?

There is an avrdude option to change the programming speed - if I remember right, it's the -B option. You can check that out. But be aware that if you go too fast, the target won't program correctly.
