Re: [avrdude-dev] Using USB port

[Micah Carrick]

Hey, I also have a laptop and only have USB ports.  I'm using the 
AvrUsb500 (http://www.tuxgraphics.org) programmer and have an article on 
setting it up in Linux at http://www.micahcarrick.com/v2/content/view/25/27/

If you're using a serial USB dongle and it's using the FT232x series 
chip, you just have to load the kernel module for the driver and then 
configure avrdude to use it as a serial port.  For example, on Fedora 
Linux, the device shows up as /dev/ttyUSBn (where n is the number 
starting at 0).  So I setup my avrdude conf file to point to /dev/ttyUSB0.
