Atmel-ISP software versions V2.99 and later allow you to edit device properties more
easily. To edit a chain, you can perform the following:
1.
View your chain file. You can either select it from your Windows Taskbar or select
View..Chain File from the main menu.
2.
Select the device and/or operation you want to change. The line you select will
be highlighted.
3.
Double-click with the left mouse button.
4.
The Device Properties dialog box for the appropriate chip will appear. For
example, if you have a 2-device chain, select Chip 1 and do a double-click with
the mouse button, the Device Properties dialog box for Chip 1 will appear.
5.
Change the properties for the device accordingly and click OK when you are
done.
6.
The chain file will be automatically updated to reflect the changes you made. It is
recommended that you save your chain file before you exit the ISP software. The
software will prompt you to save it before exiting.
To add device(s) to a chain in Atmel-ISP V2.99 and later, you can perform the following:
1.
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
2.
To insert a device before the chip you’ve selected, press the [Insert] key. The
Device Properties dialog box for the new device will appear. Enter the appropri-
ate ISP operations and other information you need to specify for that device.
3.
The new device’s properties will automatically be updated in the chain file. The
chip number in your chain will also be adjusted accordingly.
To remove device(s) from a chain in Atmel-ISP V2.99 and later, you can perform the
following:
1.
Follow steps 1 and 2 in the “Edit Device” section above.
2.
Follow step 2 of the “Add Device” section above except press the [Delete] key.
The software will prompt you on whether you want to delete the device from your
chain.
3.
Select Yes on the Delete Device prompt. Selecting No will cancel the delete
operation.
4.
Your chain file will be automatically updated to reflect the new device configura-
tion you have specified.
Note:
Be careful when you execute any Add or Remove operations to a chain file.
Since these operations change the number of devices in your chain file, the
JTAG hardware chain on your circuit board must match your chain file in num-
ber and type(s) of devices.
