[avrdude-dev] Support for Altera Byte Blaster

[Volkmar Dierkes]

Hi to all,

I am new to this mailing list because avr-dude is now inlcuded in 
WinAVR and I am going to test it for my usage.

I have an Altera Byte Blaster as a parallel port interface which I 
am using successfully with AVReAl 
(http://ln.com.ua/~real/avreal/index_e.html).

I tried to integrate this type of programmer to avrdude, but I am 
not successfull because the Byte Blaster has a special io pin which 
have to be on low level for the whole time where avrdude is 
accessing the atmel mcu. I didn't found such a pin definition in 
avrdude.

It would be great if someone give me a hint if I am wrong or if such 
a function could be implemented to the next version.

Another question to the leds: Are they high or low active? It seems 
all high active. But this isn't documented in the doc which is 
included in WinAVR.

Thanks

Volkmar
