The ATmega328P is a 28-pin microcontroller from Atmel and is part of the AVR line. It is probably best known as the most frequently used μC in the Arduino brand of development platforms, but the AT328P is capable of much more than can be squeezed from it there. If you want to see some evidence for that statement, have a look at the 660-page datashe...
AVR Pocket Programmer Driver
The Windows driver for the AVR Pocket Programmer is the same one that is used by the Adafruit USBTiny Programmer. Go to this Adafruit web pageand click on the link for the Windows USBtinyISP signed driver built with libusb v1.12. That will allow you to download a zip file that contains two installer.exe files: one for 32-bit computers and one for 64-bit computers. Double-click on whichever one is appropriate for your Windows PC, and the driver will be installed. Only after installing the corr...
Atmel Studio 7
Like many microcontroller design firms, Atmel has an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that works with their hardware offerings: Atmel Studio 7. Although it’s not the only way to program Atmel μCs, it is the most fully featured method for Windows 7, 8, and 10 (both 32-bit and 64-bit); unfortunately, it can’t be used with Linux or Mac operating systems. The number of options and choices in Atmel Studio 7 can be overwhelming for a new user. Thus, a step-by-step approach will be provided...
AVRDude
AVRDude is a command-line utility that is used to download from and upload to Atmel microcontrollers. Versions are available for both Linux and Windows systems. As of this writing (7 June 2017), the latest version available is 6.3; it can be downloaded here. Windows users should download avrdude-6.3-mingw32-zip (clicking this link will download the zip file!), unzip the files, and install AVRDude. Note that installing the program in the root of your main hard drive is not essential but will s...
Assuming the programmer is connected to the AVR on your solderless breadboard as previously described, you are almost ready to program your AVR.

Admittedly, that was a long process for just flashing an LED, but the truth is that you have successfully cleared four major hurdles: creating a hardware platform for programming an AVR microcontroller, installing an integrated development environment (Atmel Studio 7), integrating an external program (AVRDude), and defining a programming tool for t...
This kit is a simple but powerful programmer for the Atmel 89C1051, 89C2051 & 89C4051 microcontrollers and uses a serial port for communication. Data Sheets may be obtained from their website atmel.com. Go to Products/8051-Architecture. Using the serial port has several advantages: • The programmer does not require special software
Atmel-ICE is a powerful development tool for debugging and programming ARM® Cortex®-M based Atmel® SAM and Atmel AVR® microcontrollers with On-Chip Debug capability. It supports: Programming and on-chip debugging of all Atmel AVR 32-bit microcontrollers on both JTAG and aWire interfaces.
Atmel described a simple programmer based on the AT90S1200 (NOT the AT90S1200A) controller in their application note, AVR910 (a modification to use the AT90S2313 is also given below).The circuit is so small and simple, I was able to put two of them together without using a printed circuit board, taking only about an hour to assemble each one.
