3. If you are using a custom made board or you connect the microcontroller directly with wires
make sure you follow the AVR ICSP programming standards.
4. Make sure you are using the ISP interface of AVR-ISP-MK2. If your target board has a 6 pin
connector instead of the 10 pin on AVR-ISP-MK2 make appropriate adapter.
5. Ensure the target is powered. It can be powered from AVR-ISP-MK2 by changing the "Target"
jumper to position On (to the USB).
Q3: I use Atmel Studio 6. The device is visible and properly installed but my target
microcontroller is nowhere to be found in the drop-down menus. How shall I proceed?
A3: Some target microcontrollers lack ready configuration files in the stock versions of Atmel
Studio 6. You might need to add such manually follow the pattern of the already existing .xml files
located by default in C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Atmel Studio 6.x\tools\AVRISPmkII\xml
