If you spend enough time writing interrupt service routines in low-level embedded code, one tiny instruction shows up again and again: RETI. On paper it looks simple. It means RETurn from Interrupt. In practice, though, that small instruction exposes deep architectural differences between microcontroller families. On some CPUs RETI is a real instruction with distinct […]
AVRISP mkII
Until recently I have extensively used my MacBook, AVRDude and USBTiny for my μController projects: Now I got myself a proper tool, the AVRISP markII, mostly because I wanted to use AVRStudio 6.0 features: Key features: Programs both flash and EEPROM Supports fuses and lock bit programming Upgradeable for future device support Supports target voltages from […]
