Incircuit Programmer

The document discusses adding an in-circuit programmer to an existing base circuit using an ATmega328 microcontroller. It provides a component list and circuit diagram showing how to connect a USBASP in-circuit programmer via its 10-pin header to the microcontroller on the development board. The USBASP will be used to program the microcontroller by flashing bootloader, application programs, and fuse/lock bits while it is installed in the circuit.

Description
The Atmega328 microcontroller supports in-circuit
in programming. In-circuit
circuit programming, also know as in
in-
system programming, is a feature which allows the microcontroller to be programmed while being
installed in the production system. The advantage of the feature
feature is the microcontroller need not be
plugged out of the final product for firmware upgrades. However, a hardware component called InIn-circuit
programmer is required to program the microcontroller.

USBASP is one of the in-circuit


circuit programmers used to pprogram
rogram the AVR microcontrollers. It is used to flash
the microcontroller with bootloader, application program and fuse & lock bits.

The USBASP has a USB connector which plugs into the USB port of the development PC and the 10 pin
header is used to connect it to the development board. Out of the 10 pins, only 6 pins are used. While
programming the microcontroller,, the power is supplied by the programmer. The USBASP has a jumper
setting to choose between 3.3V and 5 V power supply as shown in the following figure.. We are using 5V
power supply for our board, so the jumper must be set accordingly.
