Will the mega 8 and 32 boards acsept programing and debugging useing the emulator or will I have to attach a different connector?
The current AVR-P28 and AVR-P40 boards do not have a JTAG header - only an ICSP header. If you plan on doing debugging, you will need to wire in your own JTAG connector. Later revisions of the Olimex board will incorporate this header.
