| The Teensy is a complete USB-based microcontoller development system, in a very small footprint! All programming is done via the USB port. No special programmer is needed, the USB module plugs straight into the USB port on your computer! The original Teensy is sold out until the end of the year, this is a close copy of the teensy 1.0, but uses the FLIP software and utilises an 8Mhz Oscillator instead of 16Mhz.
We have a mixed bag of these AVR Tools, some are SuperAVR, the others are Teensy. If yours is SuperAVR, use ATMEL FLIP software for programming.
Whichever software you use, the onboard controller is AT90USB-162, this is an 8Mhz oscillator, unlike the 16Mhz of the original teensy.
If you are using any precompiled HEX file for your project, you can use;
Teensy 1.0, Teensy++ 1.0, Teensy 2.0, Teensy++ 2.0 are all 16Mhz, this is 8Mhz
FLIP
FLIP (FLexible In-system Programmer) is a software that runs Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista/Windows7 and Linux x86.
FLIP supports in-system programming of Flash devices through RS232, USB or CAN.

Two installation files (below) are available: one with Java Run-time Environment (JRE) integrated and one without JRE in case you have it already installed (v1.5 and above).
Programming:
Software Preparation:
Start by installing the Atmel Flip software including the Java Runtime Environment if you do not already have this installed.
Find the directory where you have installed Atmel Flip for example (C:\Program Files\Atmel\Flip 3.4.2)
The software preparation is now done and you have also saved yourself time solving a simple problem, Good Job!
Hardware Preparation:
The next step is to plug the USB device into your PC and place in programming Mode by following these steps:
1. Hold the button on the SuperAVR
At this point windows should start prompting you for drivers so direct it to the USB directory in your Atmel Flip folder for example
(C:\Program Files\Atmel\Flip 3.4.1\usb) and you're done, if running Win 7 64bit, you will need these DRIVERS
Final Hurdle:
You're now going to flash the .hex to your AVR USB. (*Must be done in this order)
1. Launch Atmel Flip and select 'Device', Select the microcontroller that matches your board (In this case AT90USB162) and select OK.
2. Select 'File' - 'Load Hex File' - Select your .hex file
3. Select 'Settings' - 'Communication' - 'Open'
4. Click the 'Erase Target Device Memory button.
5. Click the 'Program Target Device Memory button. |
