USBasp Programmer
General Description
USBasp is a USB in-circuit programmer for Atmel AVR microcontrollers.
Features:
• Read and write the microcontroller Program memory, EEPROM data, fuse
bits and lock bits.
• USBasp programmer works under multiple platforms, Windows, Linux,
and Mac OS X.
• 5 KB/sec maximum write speed.
• SCK option to support targets with low clock speed (< 1.5MHz).
• Standard 10pin and 6pin ISP interface sockets for target connecting
flexibility.
• Indicator LED for normal operation and busy activity.
• Option for self-biasing target.
• Option for self programming for updating firmware.
• Size 65 X 29 X 15 mm
1 - USB Socket
The USB end of the programmer connects directly into your computers USB
port.
2 – ISP 6Pin Socket
The 6 pin ISP connection provides an interface to the microcontroller. the pin
out is shown in Figure 3
4 – Supply Target
This jumper controls the voltage on the ISP VCC connector. It can be enabled to
supply 5V to target device or disable this jumper if the target device has its own
power source.
5 – Slow Clock
This jumper is enabled if the target clock is lower than 1.5 MHz .Usually you
needn’t to short this jumper unless programming a new brand AVR
microcontroller where usually come configured from factory with an internal
clock of 1MHz.
6 – Self Program
This jumper is used to update the firmware of the USBasp programmer. In order
to update the firmware you must enable this jumper and use another
programmer to do the programming. Connect the other programmer to USBasp
programmer via 6pin or 10pin ISP socket.

Driver Installation
Start Windows and connect USBasp to the system. When Windows asks for a
driver, choose "usbasp-windriver\libusb_0.1.12.1". Windows XP may warn that
the driver is not 'digitally signed'. Ignore this message and continue with the
installation.
On Linux and Mac OS X no kernel driver is required.
Software installation
Two software programs can be used to burn hex codes to target using USBasp
programmer. Khazama AVR Programmer and eXtreme Burner. Both software
include driver in the installed folder.
If your compiler support USBasp programmer you needn’t any other software
to program your target microchip.
For example BASCOM-AVR compiler supports USBasp programmer. Just follow
next steps to compile and burn your firmware in the same IDE.
Step1:
Open BASCOM-AVR compiler and write your firmware. Compile your code
before try to burn it. Press “F7” or click “Compile Program” red icon in the tool
bar.
Step2:
Go to (options – Programmer)
Step3:
Select USBASP from programmer list and set your preferred options and click
“OK” button.
Step4:
Press “F4” or click “Program chip” green icon in the tool bar. USBASP interface
will open.
