Hey all. I'd like to give direct AVR programming a shot, and there's a project using the ATMega16 that I'd like to try, but the schematic shows it attached to a JTAG ICE connector, where the USBTiny doesn't support it.
However, from what I gather, JTAG ICE is just the protocol/hardware for in circuit debugging right? So the ten pin connector on the USBtiny should be able to program the chip just fine?
I would just like some confirmation of this before I purchase, and if JTAG ICE isn't what I think it is, then what is it?

Yep, you're right, It doesn't.wireframewolf wrote:(...) JTAG ICE connector, where the USBTiny doesn't support it.
You were right the first time, it uses special hardware inside the micro. So the JTAG pins won't work with the USBtiny.wireframewolf wrote: However, from what I gather, JTAG ICE is just the protocol/hardware for in circuit debugging right?

But you can use the USBtiny to program using the ISP pins!
Watch out!! Here in the schematic I used a library part from someone, who misplaced the ISP connector signals!
And me, using a ISP programmer (as the USBtinyISP) with a atmega16!
