AVR P28 and AVRStudio

Am I correct in assuming that the AVR-P28 can not be programmed via AVRStudio 4+

As it has a standard ICSP connector it can be programmed via AVR Studio. You will need a suitable programmer, of course.

I have the 28 Pin AVR Development Board avr-p28.

That’s what I assumed you were using. What is the problem?

AVRStudio can not connect to the Olimex board. My understanding is that STK500 is not the same as STK200 and the Olimex board is compatible with the stk200. So I was wondering if I should be going back to AVRStudio 3.5 or if there is something else that I’m not doing.

I assumed it was STK500-compatible.

As I recall, your issue is the ISP connector type and layout, e.g. the 6 pin header. The AVRstudio software per se doesn’t care.

Ask your question on avrfreaks.net/forum and you’ll get lots of help.

If it is just the connector, then it’s only a matter of wiring depending on which programmer is being used. It’s pretty easy to search online for the pin layout of the 6 pin connector. Compare that with the pin layout of the programmer you have and it should be straight forward to make an adapter. This assumes, though, that AVR studio doesn’t complain about any wires left unconnected or some other issue like that.

I’ve used 3 or 4 different programmers and they all supported 6pin in-circuit-programming. I used 6pin headers on all of my designs until I had to use the 10pin header for JTAG.
