ISP (In System Programing)

This is a manual to use the PonyProg 2000 and avrdude to program the microcontrollers in our boards .
It is possible to use scripts for Ponyprog, so it can be started by a Batch-File or Makefile (more).
The LPT or COM-Ports are usable to program the chips.

DT-006 (parallel)

This is the simplest interface for ISP-Programming with only 4 resistors.

We developed a small PCB to make it even easier to build a ISP-Adator.
As shown on the picture, the Crimp-Connector can be placed on one side of the cable and the other side is directly soldered onto the board

Details here.

How it looks in PonyProg::

SI-Prog (serial)

This is a (not so simple) ISP-Adaptor for the serial PC-Interface

A small PCB can look like this:

The configuration in PonyProg here would be::

Note: If you use CodeVision: The inbuild serial Terminal-program needs a different COM-Port than the Serial ISP-Adaptor!

Now you can program the Chips with PonyProg.

Scriptfiles

The script files have the ending *.e2s in PonyProg. You'll find a HTML-File in the Ponyprog main folder for further informations. This is the script-File for the ACR-Ctrl PCBs:

##########################################

  # PonyProg-Scriptfile for

  # AVR-Ctrl

  # 

  # http://www.mikrocontroller.com

##########################################

#SELECTDEVICE "AVR Auto"

SELECTDEVICE at90s8535

LOAD-PROG main.hex



# Write without Verify

WRITE-ALL



# Write with Verify

#WRITE&VERIFY-ALL

Shortly:
'#' = comments.
The Chip is selected (here the 90S8535), than load the Hex-File(main.hex) and programming (without Verify).

How to implement this in CodeVision?

Select the script under "after make":

The command-Line is:
start {Scriptname}

Example:

start C:\cvavr\bin\at90s8535.e2s

Is that also possible in the makefile ?

Yes, here:

ISPEXE = c:/programme/ponyprog2000/ponyprog2000.exe MCU = at90s8535 TRG = myapp

isp: $(TRG).hex $(TRG).eep

echo -e "SELECTDEVICE $(MCU)\nLOAD-PROG $(TRG).hex\nLOAD-DATA $(TRG).eep\nWRITE&VERIFY-ALL" >isp.e2s $(ISPEXE) isp.e2s
