1 Introduction
This document describes the AVRISP mkII protocol. The firmware is distributed
with AVR Studio 4.12 or later. Download the latest AVR Studio from the Atmel web
site, http://www.atmel.com/products/AVR/.
The definition of all commands, responses, parameters and other defined values
can be found in chapter 6.1.
All device specific values can be found in the XML part description files. See
chapter 4 for how to find the parameter values for AVRISP mkII.
Figure 1-1. AVRISP mkII
Rev. 8015B-AVR-02/06
2 USB Communication
The communication between the AVRISP mkII and the PC is done through its USB
interface. The USB interface utilizes two bulk endpoints; one IN and one OUT. The
USB descriptors can be found in chapter 6.2.
2.1 Packet Format
The PC sends commands to the AVRISP mkII, which responds with an answer. Each
command will generate an answer.
Both commands and answers can be larger than the maximum packet size for the
bulk endpoints, so a command or answer can be split into several IN/OUT packets. A
short packet indicates the end of a command or answer.
The commands and their respective answers are described in chapter 3.
2.2 USB Driver
In order to communicate with the AVRISP mkII, a driver must be installed on the host
computer. A driver can be written from scratch or by using a driver development kit.
AVR Studio 4 bundles a USB driver licensed from Jungo (www.jungo.com). By
obtaining a license from Jungo, 3rd party software can access the same driver as
AVR Studio. The user can then use both AVR Studio and other tools without
changing drivers.
Note: Firmware upgrades for AVRISP mkII can only be uploaded with the dedicated upgrade
software bundled with AVR Studio. This requires that the driver supplied with AVR Studio to be
installed.
3 Commands
This section describes all commands that can be entered to the AVRISP mkII, and all
the possible responses that each command can give back to the host.
For all commands, the AVRISP mkII will return an answer with an answer ID that is
equal to the command ID. The first byte in a command is always the command ID, the
first byte in an answer is always the answer ID.

Mode
Word Mode
Page Mode
The Word/Page Mode bit selects if the device supports page programming or not.
The command bytes are different for word and page mode. In word mode, the ISP
commands Write Program Memory and Read Program Memory are used. In page
mode, Load Page, Write Program Memory Page and Read Program Memory are
used. The read instruction is used if Value Polling is specified in the mode bit. The
Low/High byte selection bit (3rd bit in the Load Page, Write Program Memory
commands) is handled by AVRISP mkII, so leave this bit cleared.
According to the mode, different termination methods are selected – Timed delay,
Value polling or RDY/BSY polling.
For paged operation, the Write page bit decides if a Write Program Memory Page
command should be issued after the data has been loaded into the page buffer. For
devices with page size bigger than what can be transferred to AVRISP mkII in one
command, several CMD_PROGRAM_FLASH_ISP commands must be issued. In
such a case, only the last command should have the Write Page mode bit set.
NOTE: Only bit 0-6 are set in the XML file, because bit 7 is not constant and must be controlled
by the PC software.
When value polling is used to determine when a programming operation is complete,
poll1 must be supplied. This value indicates which value will be read from the device
until the programmed value is read. This indicates end of programming. poll2 is used
only for EEPROM programming.

3.4.1 PARAM_BUILD_NUMBER_LOW
The PARAM_BUILD_NUMBER_LOW and PARAM_BUILD_NUMBER_HIGH together
return a number that is incremented for each build of the firmware. This number is
mainly for ATMEL internal use.
3.4.2 PARAM_BUILD_NUMBER_HIGH
See PARAM_BUILD_NUMBER_LOW.
3.4.3 PARAM_HW_VER
Returns a hardware revision number.
3.4.4 PARAM_SW_MAJOR
The PARAM_SW_MAJOR and PARAM_SW_MINOR returns the firmware version.
3.4.5 PARAM_SW_MINOR
See PARAM_SW_MAJOR.
3.4.6 PARAM_VTARGET
The parameter value is voltage in volts x10, i.e. a parameter value of 42 (decimal)
corresponds to 4.2V.
3.4.7 PARAM_SCK_DURATION
When using the ISP programming interface, the ISP clock frequency must not exceed
what the target device supports. (The maximum ISP clock frequency depends on the
device system clock, internal clock division etc.)
The AVRISP mkII supports ISP frequencies from 51 Hz up to 8.0 MHz. The value for
PARAM_SCK_DURATION can be found using the algorithm shown in chapter 6.3.
3.4.8 PARAM_RESET_POLARITY
The AVRISP mkII can program both AT90 (AVR) family and AT89 (8051) family of
microcontrollers. They have different RESET pin polarity. The AVR has active low
reset, while the AT89 has active high.
This parameter sets the polarity of the reset signal. Set the parameter to 1 when
programming AVRs, and 0 when programming AT89 controllers.
NOTE: AVRISP mkII stores this parameter in EEPROM, so they are available the next time
power is applied to the programmers.
3.4.9 PARAM_STATUS_TGT_CONN
This parameter returns the status of the target connection. Each bit has a separate
status. See table below:
Table 3-37. Success

0x00
STATUS_ISP_READY

STATUS_CONN_FAIL_SCK
0x10
STATUS_TGT_NOT_DETECTED
0x20
STATUS_TGT_REVERSE_INSERTED
0x00
STATUS_ISP_READY
The corresponding bit will be set ‘1’ to indicate an error.
That is, if a line is short-circuited, if target is not detected or the plug is inserted with a
reverse orientation.
If the value 0x00 is returned it means the connection is ok.
If any *_CONN_FAIL_* bit is set, the command CMD_RESET_PROTECTION must
be issued.
The parameter should be checked before starting a programming sequence to check
if target connection is correct.
It should also be checked after a programming sequence if the command failed to
check if the operation failed because of a short circuit.
A short circuit can only be detected after the command Enter Progmode has been
issued, because the control circuits of the AVRISP mkII is isolated via switches when
the AVRISP mkII is in idle mode.
3.4.10 PARAM_DISCHARGEDELAY
This parameter sets a time period for which the reset line has a higher resistance for
each time it is toggled.
The purpose is to reduce the maximum current caused by the discharge/recharge of
a decoupling capacitor connected to the reset pin.
When the reset is toggled a resistor of 510ohm will be switched in, which reduces the
peak current to an acceptable level for the internal components of the AVRISP mkII.
The delay should be set to: t>510ohm*C
If no capacitor is connected this parameter could be set to 0.
4 XML Parameter Values
The AVRISP mkII firmware uses parameters extensively for its programming
algorithms. All AVR devices have their own set of parameters. They can be found in
part description files installed with AVR Studio. The part description files are XML files
and can be found in the folder
… \Atmel\AVR Tools\PartDescriptionFiles\

6.3 Setting SCK Frequency
The AVRISP mkII supports the SCK frequencies shown in avrispmkIIfreqs below.
Use the CalcSckDur( ) algorithm to find the PARAM_SCK_DURATION value for a
given frequency:
// frequencies for AVRISP mkII ISP programming
double avrispmkIIfreqs[] = {
