Ahh... I think I see now. Pull the clock from (STK500)XT1 to
(16550)XIN and then connect (16650)XOUT to ground through a resistor?

P.S. I like how you antispammed your e-mail address. Dunno why I never
thought of that one before.

You won't be able to use Port E's XT1 and XT2 "as if" they were a
crystal and connect them to the 16550's XIN and XOUT. You may be able to
pull the clock from XT1 and drive XIN with it, though.

Simple noobie question about the Atmel AVR STK500...

Can the XT1 and XT2 pins on PORTE\AUX used to supply a clock signal to
an external device (explanation below)?

As I am learning to program and interface the AVR's I have a 16550
UART on a separate experiment board and I see that the 16550 needs a
crystal or clock source on pins 16 and 17 (XIN and XOUT)... can the
XT1 and XT2 pins be used to supply the clock source or do I need a
separate crystal?
