Hi Rodan, the stk500 clone only implements the base functionality of the stk500, it doesn’t include extras like the clock generator (as far as I know).

Is the STK500’s clock generator emulated as well? What BP pin do I connect to the AVR’s XTAL1?

oh, i see. the BP pins are on the left, the re-mapped pins for programming on the right. i thought the whole thing was a 2×6 header. thanks for the reply!

ISP is 2×3, bus pirate is 2×5.

is it just me or is the pinout listed a 2×6 header while the BP only has a 2×5? how does that work?

@krop – If there’s any existing code that supports this, I’m happy to port it to the Bus Pirate.

Any plans on PDI programming protocol so that AVR XMega’s can be supported?

Thanks so much for the report. It’s good to know it works on other AVRs. Look for PIC programming soon.

Works great, thanks! I’ve been able to program ATMega8s on a v2go with 3.3v using AVR Studio. Love it so much I pre-ordered a v3.
