AVR™ Professional Starter System User Manual V1.02
Device Support
It is possible to program Atmel AVR™ microcontroller devices using two different methods:
1 Parallel Programming Mode (ZIF)
In this mode the target device must be placed in the programmer ZIF socket. It is possible to set certain
'Special Option' fuses in this mode which can not be altered in ISP mode.
2 Serial In-System Programming (ISP) Mode
This mode allows a device in a remote target system to be programmed without removing the device
from the board. A special ISP cable is supplied with the programmer which plugs into the user target
system.
The table below shows the AVR microcontrollers which this system supports and also details whether a
particular device is supported by the assembler and 'BASIC LITE'.
ATMEL AVR (90S) FLASH MICROCONTROLLER SUPPORT
90S (AVR)

AT90S1200
AT90S1200A
AT90S2313
AT90S2323
AT90S2343
AT90S4414
AT90S8515
The following device families are not supported by this system:
Atmel Mega AVR Microcontrollers & Atmel 89S Microcontrollers
Please note:
The Activ8r programmer is able to program all AVR devices on the market as of late 1997. In order to achieve
this, certain hardware resources are dedicated to particular pins on the ZIF socket. Should Atmel release any
devices in future which require different resources, programming of these in the ZIF socket may not be
guaranteed. Although Equinox may opt to extend device support for the Activ8r, we are not obliged to do
so. We may offer support for future devices on products as yet unannounced.
