2.5 In-System Programming
2.5.1 Programming with USB bootloader: DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade)
AT90USB part comes with a default factory pre-programmed USB bootloader located in
the on-chip boot section of the AT90USB. This is the easiest and fastest way to
reprogram the device directly over the USB interface. The “Flip” PC side application, is
available from the Atmel website, offers a flexible an user friendly interface to reprogram
the application over the USB bus.
The HWB pin of the AT90USB allows to force the bootloader section execution after
reset. (Refer to AT90USB datasheet section “boot loader support”). To force bootloader
execution, operate as follow:
Press both “RST” and “HWB” push buttons
First release the “RST” push button
Release the “HWB” push button
For more information about the USB bootloader and “Flip” application, please refer to
the “USB bootloader datasheet document” and “Flip’s user manual”.
Note: The HWB pin is active only if the HWBE fuse is set (default factory configuration).
2.5.2 Programming with AVR JTAGICEmKII
The AT90USB can be programmed using specific JTAG link. To use the AVR
JTAGICEmkII with an AT90USBKey an optional HE10 connector should be soldered to
J9 footprint. Then the JTAG probe can be connected to the AT90USBKey as shown in
Figure 2-10.
Note: When the JTAGEN Fuse is unprogrammed, the four TAP pins are normal port pins, and
the TAP controller is in reset. When programmed, the input TAP signals are internally
pulled high and the JTAG is enabled for Boundary-scan and programming. The
AT90USB device is shipped with this fuse programmed.
