About

PalmAVR is the Open Source Atmel AVR® microcontroller in-system-programming (ISP) solution for Palm OS®. PalmAVR is licensed under the terms of GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2. Copyright © 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 Mark Hämmerling.

Overview

PalmAVR allows you to upload, download, verify, and identify ROM contents of any supported Atmel AVR® microcontroller with your Palm OS® powered handheld computer. PalmAVR is ideal for in-field ISP firmware updates or reconfiguration.

Features

(as of version 0.5.0)

Flash and EEPROM upload from ROM image database
Flash and EEPROM verification against ROM image database (full or partial)
Flash and EEPROM download into ROM image database
Flash and EEPROM identification (compare against all available ROM image databases)
graphical fuses editor with symbolic fuse name resolution
automatic selection of block or page memory access when supported
ROM image databases management
target auto-detection and preselection by device signature

Supported programmers

AVR061 protocol (e.g., STK500 and AVR ISP)
AVR109 protocol (e.g., orig. AVR910, enhanced AVR910, and AVR Butterfly)
data transfer rate is freely configurable from 9600 until 115200 bps
support for programming over RS232, IrCOMM, RFCOMM (Bluetooth)

Future plans

security bits editor

Requirements

Palm handheld device (or emulator) with Palm OS® 3.3 (or later)
one of the supported programmers
optionally, pdbmake to convert existing binary ROM image files to .pdb database files
