Title: AVRISP mkII MPLABX support Post by: metal on August 14, 2020, 04:44:13 16:44 Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to use AVRISP mkII in MPLABX, if not, what are the other options available to use for AVR burning in MPLABX? Also, what is the future of Atmel Studio, any body has any idea? I have seen that XC8 now supports AVR, but apparently a wrapper, so I was able to compile existing AVR codes immediately without changing anything. thanks Title: Re: AVRISP mkII MPLABX support Post by: pickit2 on August 14, 2020, 07:43:50 19:43 https://www.avrfreaks.net/forum/using-avrisp-mk2-mplab-x-ide
I need to catch up as well. Title: Re: AVRISP mkII MPLABX support Post by: metal on August 15, 2020, 02:42:38 02:42 well, it's been like 6 years since I touched any electronics. I have 2xSTK500, JTAGICE-mkII and 2xAVRISP mkII, this HW is now useless. This is not a smart phone business after all so keeping support for this HW is OK. I have both PICKit2/3, so at least they are supported by MPLABX, but for AVR, even if it is supported in MPLABX, I still have to revert back to AVR Studio.
I am looking at the devices list, there is nothing AVR does that PIC can not do at the moment, except for true vectored interrupts where AVR rules there, so it seems Microchip knew how to kill AVR. Now when I look at the old days, I wish I am trapped in 2012 for the rest of my life.. for small projects it is not logical to use cortex M0+, it just doesn't make sense. I don't like this snap thing TBH.

Reminds me in work we had a vast amount of 16f84's when projects got bigger we split it up using more than one 16f84 and on one we used 4. Yesterday I was given 10 16F872 a friend thought I might fine use for, I'm afraid to look up the data sheet, as I know I will go on a tangent to what I should be doing.

There are five channels to a single AD, Two 8 bit and one 16 bit Timer with CCP. Additional it can do SPI and I2C in Hardware. There are 64 8 bit EEPROM-Cells, 128 bytes of RAM and 2 kWords Flash. But i have cheated. I didnt read the datasheet. I used the PIC Micro Database for Android. Best Regards |
