ATMISP under Linux needs FTDI USB to work in Wine.

[peterzieba]

The Atmel In-circuit JTAG programmer software uses an extremely common FTDI USB chip.

Because this chip is used in quite a many devices, getting this to work would allow many other people attempting to use various devices under Wine.

While there are other ways of programming these chips under linux, this software conveinently accepts a .JED file, whereas a typical JTAG programmed will need the .JED converted to an .SVF or .XSVF beforehand.

Perhaps all the pieces to make this work are already there and this needs writeup on how to do it successfully, however, I couldn't get it to work.

There are two versions of ATMISP available for download from Microchip:

• ATMISP 6.7 for Windows 2000 and XP
• ATMISP 7 for Windows 7, 8, and 10
