I decided to order the following USB Programmer. Please look at it and guide me.
**broken link removed**
Ca I able to program and debug using this programmer with AVR studio
first I thought to verify the the meaning of this programmers
1.Jtag Programmer
2.JDM Programmer
What is the meaning of "J" here
What is the relation ship between serial port and "J"
What is the meaning of JDM and Jtag
Please advice
Thanks in advance
The AVR chips that have JTAG can either be programmed using ISP or JTAG and can be debugged using JTAG.
The chips that don't have JTAG (e.g. mega8) can only be programmed using ISP and can't be debugged
There is also a new alternative to debug for newer chips that support it, it is named debugwire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DebugWIRE
There is of course the parallel programming option but is not very common unless there are problems using the ISP method.
JDM could stand for "Jens Dyekjaer Madsen" - inventor of the original device programmer used for programming microcontrollers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JDM
