thanks, Very good ! So I can get started developing code easy peasy! an worry about field upgrade at a later stage.

It is enough to download AVR Studio connect the AVR ISP to the ISP interface. No need for a bootloader. If you want to be able to do field upgrade later, without the AVR ISP or a JTAG ICE; then there are some application notes available on www.atmel.com or www.avrfreaks.net -- Best Regards, Ulf Samuelsson This is intended to be my personal opinion which may, or may not be shared by my employer Atmel Nordic AB

By definition, you do not need any code in the micro in order to program over ISP.

Hi all ,

I have just designed a board with a JTAG interface and ISP interface
( with some good advice from past discussions on this forum)and have
also bought the JTAG programmer. Now before I send the board for
layout , I am looking at the nitty gritty of bootloading a hello world
programme ( flashing leds!)  on it. Does the ATMEL parts come
preprogrammed with a standard bootloader in the boot section of the
flash , so that I can compile link and load using the AVRISP mkII? If
yes what are the functionalities of the boot loader?

If no are there any example bootloader for ATmega which i could use to
start off, without reinventing the wheel.
