AVRDUDE supports two basic programmer types: Atmel's STK500 and the PPI AVRDUDE supports three basic programmer types: Atmel's STK500, appnote
(parallel port interface). PPI represents a class of simple programmers avr910 and the PPI (parallel port interface). PPI represents a class
where the programming lines are directly connected to the PC parallel of simple programmers where the programming lines are directly
port, while the STK500 uses the serial port to communicate with the PC connected to the PC parallel port. Several pin configurations exist
for several variations of the PPI programmers, and AVRDUDE can be be
configured to work with them by either specifying the appropriate
programmer on the command line or by creating a new entry in its
configuration file. All that's usually required for a new entry is to
tell AVRDUDE which pins to use for each programming function.
The STK500 and avr910 use the serial port to communicate with the PC
