In System Programming (ISP) for ATMEL chips






With this isp-programmer you can program 89s51, 89s52 and 89s8253 from a PC via the USB port.
For the USB interface an Arduino Diecimila is used.
The interface from Arduino to the 89sxx processor is SPI (Serial Programming Interface)

The hardware

Wirering between Arduino and the Atmel processor

---

The software

The software consists of 2 parts, one part of the PC and the other part of the Arduino

The PC software is written in c++, using Codeblocks and Wxwidgets
It is compiled for linux ubuntu platform.
C++, Codeblocks and wxwidgets are multiplatforms, so with some minor changes, it can run on windows and mac as well.
