Editing Flashing bootloaders on AVR (section)

== PC ==

Whatever PC would work, but the situation is (as usual) much simpler on Linux or macOS than on Windows.

The end goal is to have a piece of software that can talk to the ISP Programmer, and drivers that allow it talk to the Programmer (this is only an issue on Windows; Lin/X work out-of-the-box). The usual one to use is [http://www.nongnu.org/avrdude/ avrdude]. On linuxes, it is usually available through your package manager; on macOS it is installable through [http://brew.sh/ homebrew] {and <code>brew tap jpommerening/avr</code>}. On Windowses, either google for an avrdude.exe, or get the [https://www.arduino.cc/ Arduino GUI], avrdude comes with it (a big download for a 200kB binary).

Now drivers on Windows - that will depend on the Programmer that you'll use. In what I'll be writing about, we'll use an Arduino, which will appear as a serial port on your PC, so you'll need an .inf file for that. It comes with the Arduino GUI, and you can follow the instructions [https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Windows#toc4 there].
