  45  *  \section SSec_Description Project Description:
  46  *
  47  *  Firmware for an AVRStudio compatible AVRISP-MKII clone programmer. This project will enable the USB AVR series of
  48  *  microcontrollers to act as a clone of the official Atmel AVRISP-MKII programmer, usable within AVRStudio. In its
  49  *  most basic form, it allows for the programming of 5V AVRs from within AVRStudio with no special hardware other than
  50  *  the USB AVR and the parts needed for the USB interface. If the user desires, more advanced circuits incorporating
  51  *  level conversion can be made to allow for the programming of 3.3V AVR designs.
  52  *
  53  *  This device spoofs Atmel's official AVRISP-MKII device PID so that it remains compatible with Atmel's AVRISP-MKII
  54  *  drivers. When prompted, direct your OS to install Atmel's AVRISP-MKII drivers provided with AVRStudio.
  55  *
  56  *  Note that this design currently has the following limitations:
  57  *    - Minimum ISP target clock speed of 500KHz due to hardware SPI module prescaler limitations
  58  *    - No reversed/shorted target connector detection and notification
  59  *    - A seperate header is required for each of the ISP, PDI and TPI programming protocols that the user wishes to use
  60  *
  61  *  On AVR models with an ADC converter, AVCC should be tied to 5V (e.g. VBUS) and the VTARGET_ADC_CHANNEL token should be
  62  *  set to an appropriate ADC channel number in the project makefile for VTARGET detection to operate correctly. On models
  63  *  without an ADC converter, VTARGET will report a fixed 5V level at all times.
  64  *
  65  *  While this application can be compiled for USB AVRs with as little as 8KB of FLASH, for full functionality 16KB or more
  66  *  of FLASH is required. On 8KB devices, ISP or PDI/TPI programming support can be disabled to reduce program size.

 108  *
 109  *  In addition, the AVR's XCK pin will generate a .5MHz clock when SPI programming is used, to act as an external
 110  *  device clock if the fuses have been mis-set. To use the recovery clock, connect XCK to the target AVR's XTAL1
 111  *  pin, and set the ISP programming speed to 125KHz or below.
