It's a STK500 cloned, used with many type of AVR and support firmware upgrading by AVRStudio. And my interesting is High Volt Parallel Programming mode.
But my big problem is How to program firmware to ATMEGA8535 in HVProg.
Because of AVRStudio is including firmware of STK500, but the format is *.ebn
You can make an AvrProg to program At90s8535 ou AtMega8535 with stk500.ebn, Atmel uses AvrProg to update Stk500, give a look here **broken link removed**
my problems with dre hammer stk500:
1 avr studio /the new one/ in communication was set to 9600b/s,and stored.when I uninstall ,and install older verson with 115200b/s HV start's at the first time!
ps i made a advanset version with dip atmega and IC's and smd rezistors and C
2 with the target board -too long HV programing cable ,Atmega 8 do not respond at SPI ,but in HV mode was ok.so i made a board for SPI for atmega8....:-(
