It's hot +off the presses, and so this readme and everything else is already way out of date + +Some quick notes: +The stuff in commandline is a slightly modified version of bootloadHID's commandline +folder - it's irrelevent for now - don't use that stuff! +To upload to the device, pop in to 'firmware', and install ruby 1.9 on your system +(I recommend using homebrew on Macs), then install libusb 1.x and then the libusb +rubygem. You'll then be able to use my two experimental scripts 'upload.rb' and 'dump.rb' +to upload binary files via bootloader (not hex) and dump to binary files over a +littlewire/usbtiny isp. I used ruby for rapid prototyping - I think it'd be better +to port this stuff to C, modifying obdev's commandline app to do it or something like +that. + +Another note - the nyan-cat binaries require you connect a piezo speaker between pb0 +and pb1. Upload and enjoy! + +And now back to your regular broadcast... + + + +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +======================================================================================= +!!%$!^%%$!#%$@#!%$@!$#@!%$#@%!#@%$!@$%#@!$%%!$#^&%$!%(*$!^%#!$@!#%$*^%!!&^%!%@$#!^!%@%$ +@#$%^&*%#$%^#($)#*&($^#^*%&%%&@$*#($^&^*@$#&%^*%&($^&#^*%&$(^^%@$&^*#%@%&$^#*%^*%&^@$%& +&$%#$&^&$%@&#$*^*##*$##^$&#^%$^&*$&^&^%$#^%$&*$&#^%$*^$#^&%$*%#^$&^*%$#^$*^$$&*%#$^%$*% +======================================================================================= +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + + USBaspLoader-tiny85 is a modification to the USBaspLoader project giving support for the ATtiny85 microcontroller.
