ReAl

Working of avreal with FT2232C/L/D/H has been checked for WindowsXP/64, Windows7/32 Windows7/64 and CDM 2.06.00 driver. All OK.

avreal v1.28r1 (Sun 2010-01-31) has been released.

• FT2232H, FT4232H support is added. Both channels with MPSSE are allowed for programming. Allowable pin names are listed in configuration description.
• Switch -k is added for waiting an adapter’s key being pressed before starting the programming. See key record description.
• Switch modifier -os is added for selecting SCK frequency instead of MCU clocking frequency.

“So it does!” said Pooh. “It goes in!”
“So it does!” said Piglet. “And it comes out!”

I found out that a cover plug of Siemens ME45 mobile phone fits fairly to USB socket and can be used for dust, moisture and static electricity protection.

AVReAl – AVR serial programmer

You can download the most recent version of AVReAl from this page.
FTDI chip driver and FTD2XX library must be installed for FT2232C/L/D, FT2232H, FT4232H support in Win* and Linux environment.

avreal/linux has been checked up with libftd2xx versions 0.4.16 and below. You can download here 32-bit libftd2xx0.4.16.tar.gz and 64-bit libftd2xx0.4.16_x86_64.tar.gz versions of the library.

DLPortIO port access driver must be installed for NT-line OSes (WindowsNT, Windows2000, WindowsXP 32 and 64 bit, Windows7 32 and 64 bit) for LPT-adapters support. No driver required for Windows 98.

avreal for Linux does not requires a special LPT driver also. What is needed is to choose a method and set up a permissions.

Some of previous versions (including the last DOS-version) available from old History page.

These drivers are not tested with Windows Vistabut apparently they should work when installed as for Vindows 7

AT89S51, AT89S52 serial programmer

at89s52.zip

There is old “quick ad dirty” patch of avreal for at89s51, at89s52 programming. The program was written some years ago for my friend and frozen in initial state. Only Windows and LPT are supported. Use the same driver as for avreal and almost the same switches.
Try to decrease -o switch frequency to -o8MHZ or -o6MHZ when programming errors occured.

AVReAl designed for programming of Atmel AVR microcontrollers in ISP (in-circuit serial programming) mode.
AVReAl requires one of

• simple adapter connected to LPT — “5 wires“, “HC244″ — Altera ByteBlaster, STK200/STK300 or other using pin mapping feature.
• USB-adapters bulit with FT2232C, FT2232L, FT2232D and FT2232H, FT4232H by FTDI.

AVReAl is console application which makes possible to integrate it into almost any development environment (IDE).
Now supported Windows, Linux and FreeBSD (no FT2232 support for FreeBSD).
DOS-version not supported since 1.27rev0. Last DOS version 1.25r6 is available for downloading.
Working of avreal/win32 with FT2232C/L/D/H has been checked for Windows2000, WindowsXP/32, WindowsXP/64, Windows7/32, Windows7/64.
Working of avreal/win32 with LPT via DLPortIO drivers has been checked for Windows2000, WindowsXP/32, WindowsXP/64, Windows7/32, Windows7/64. No drivers needed for Windows98.

The program is free for commercial or non-commercial use but it’s sources unavailable. Shortly, it is freeware but not free software.

You can download avreal and DLPortIO driver for 32- and 64-bit Windows here. Visit description page for detailed information and adapters page for schematics of programming adapters.
Posts about updates and bug fixes are published under ‘History’ category. Separate posts about bug is published in that case, when I have no time for urgent correction or I treat the bug as “feature” up to next avreal release.
List of previous changes and some of previous versions can be found on “old” History page.

Supported microcontroller list can be got by the command

avreal -h

avreal (and any other programmer) can’t differ microcontrollers listed by character ‘|’ (read more).
