====== Make several usb AVR programming dongles work on Linux ======


To use the avrisp mkII and other programmers run on Linux needed to add a rule to udev (according to this http://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/AVRDUDE)

Add a rule 10_avrproggers.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/
containing:


<code>
# Atmel AVR ISP mkII
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="03eb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2104", GROUP="users", MODE="0660" 

# usbprog bootloader
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1781", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c62", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"
 
# USBasp programmer
ATTRS{idVendor}=="16c0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="05dc", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"
 
# USBtiny programmer
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1781", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c9f", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"
</code>

then restart udev and you are done.

USBasp is natively supported on Ubuntu 10.04 and newer.
