ISP, JTAG, TPI and UPDI Programming Interfaces

AVR ISP is the original AVR programmer interface and includes older AT90S, ATmega and ATtiny microcontollers. It uses SPI interface and is either 6-way or 10-way DIP header, both included. Adapters are available for 10-way 1.27mm and 2.0mm pitch.

AVR ISP Interface



AVR JTAG is available as an alternative AVR programming interface on 40 pin+ older AVR microcontrollers. It is a 4 wire interface and needs JTAGEN fuse enabled. It uses a 10-way interface and adapter is included. .

AVR JTAG Interface



AVR TPI Interface



AVR UPDI is the latest programming interface. It is a serial UPDI and uses a single wire, but is usually used with a 6-way UPDI header, Reset pin is optional. UPDI programming is the interface for the latest ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers and is the only interface on latest AVRxxx devices.

Comparision with other UPDI AVR Programmers

Kanda handheld programmers and Kanda Keyfob Programmers support ISP, JTAG and UPDI if you need a standalone solution that programs without a PC or laptop. These are great for field updates or on the production line. This AVR UPDI programmer is better for development and small volume production.

Atmel ICE supports UPDI but it uses Atmel or Microchip Studio software, which is very clunky for programming operations. PICKit 4 also supports AVR UPDI using MPLAB X MPE software. There are also some Arduino UPDI solutions but they are more for amateur use.

Kanda AVR programmer software is better as it has lots of features like buffer edit, serial numbers, checksums that other software does not have. It is also much easier to swap between ISP, TPI, JTAG and UPDI programming.
