Page 4: Pc Driver Installation
PC DRIVER INSTALLATION: Drivers for the Mass Storage mode are integrated in Windows XP/Vista. The driver for STK500v2 mode is available from our website. Windows installation steps are the following: 1. Download and unzip the file “AVR-STK500-drivers.zip” in a temporary directory. 2. - Page 5 COM4 or below. Otherwise AvrStudio might not be able to detect the programmer. Here are the steps to change it: 1. Go to Device Manager. 2. Unfold “Ports (COM&LPT)” and right-click on “Olimex Virtual COM - AVR-ISP500 (COMxx)” where COMxx can be anything between COM1 and COM255. Select properties.
- Page 6 Go to the “Port Settings” tab and click the “Advanced” button. Change “COM Port Number” COM3 COM4. 5. Click OK.
- Page 7 7. Click OK to close the device properties. USING AVR-ISP500 WITH AVRSTUDIO: WARNING: The COM port number assigned by Windows to AVR-ISP500 must be COM4 or below. Otherwise AvrStudio might not be able to detect the programmer. See the section for PC Drivers Installation for more information.

USING AVR-ISP500 WITH AVRDUDE: AVRDUDE requires the serial port name, assigned by the Operating System to AVR-ISP500. It must be given with the -P command line option. For Windows systems please check the Device Manager. For Linux systems the following command will list all USB CDC serial ports:... -
Page 9: Firmware Upgrade
User is free to use his favorite terminal client (HyperTerminal, minicom, etc) to upload the firmware images taken from our website. The AVR-ISP500 boot loader implements a USB virtual serial port that is baud rate agnostic. As an alternative we provide a simple Windows GUI application for users who don’t want to or cannot use terminal software. -
Page 10: Electrical Characteristics
The solution is to remove all such circuits (LEDs, RS232 drivers, resistors below 2k, etc) from the four ISP lines during programming. AVR-ISP500 is more susceptible to this kind of fault than other programmers on the market because it has 560 ohm resistors in series with all its outputs. -
