Configuration and programming instructions for ATmega128 Development Board “TinyBoard” via PonyProg:
STEP 1:
For ATmega128 TinyBoard V1.1 connect “HEADER A” to ISP programmer as shown:
For ATmega128 TinyBoard V1.2 connect ISP header from board with ISP programmer:
STEP 2: Download PonyProg from PonyProg-download and install PonyProg.
STEP 3: Connect programmer to parallel port of your PC.
STEP 4: Configure ISP programmer (dongle) by “Setup->Interface Setup”, use the following settings.
STEP 5: Verify presence of ISP programmer by using “Probe”.
STEP 6: Do “Setup -> Calibration”
STEP 7: Select “Device->AVR Micro->ATmega128”
STEP 8: Load your program file *.hex. using “File-> Open Device File”.
SETP 9: Now you can program your device by using “Command -> Write all”.
You can change pre-configured settings (fuse bits) by “Command -> Security and Configuration Bits”.
Avrdude is an open-source program for
download / upload code to AVR microcontroller flash and eeprom.
Download code from
avrdude-download.
The example is chown as Windows version with Windows parallel
port declaration "-P lpt1".
For Linux use "-P /dev/parport0"
instead.
Note: You now have to use "flashfile.bin" instead of "flashfile.hex" unlike in prior versions (4.x).

Because AVR ATmega2560 and ATmega2561 devices are not supported by avrdude by now (Version WinAVR-20060125) use ATmega1280 mode instead:

UISP is a tool for AVR (and AT89S) microcontrollers which
can interface to many hardware in-system programmers.
