Hello list,
I am looking for a cheap USB ISP programer for the AVR familly. Can you give
me some sugestions?
In fact, what I really want was a debugger. But I noticed that many AVR
devices dont support JTAG. And I found out about this debugWIRE interface,
that seens to have more devices compatible, that I have never heard about
before. I also noticed that the JTAG debbugers usually can debug by JTAG
also.
Is there a debbuger ,not too expencive :), that also supports debugWIRE that
you guys can sugest me?
Thank you a lot!

Some support JTAG, some support debugWIRE, some don't debug at all.

Yes, I would hope a JTAG debugger could debug by JTAG also. :-)
No, it is rare that a JTAG debugger also supports debugWIRE. The Atmel
JTAGICE mkII is the only sure solution, over $300.

AVR Dragon has JTAG, debugWIRE, and ISP. But only supports a limited
range of AVRs, none with more than 32K of FLASH. You don't say much
about your application other than "not expensive". My guess is that if
you limit your selection of AVR to that which is supported by the Dragon
then you won't be very limited at all.
The AVR Dragon was just over $50 last time I looked. It could be really
helped with the addition of an accessory kit with wires to connect to
off board CPU. Perhaps a Dragon Rider:

If JTAG-only is good enough for you then I really liked the ECROS ICE
Cube: http://www.ecrostech.com/AtmelAvr/AvrIceCube/index.htm
But IIRC there might be an issue with virgin AVRs having JTAG disabled
from the factory. Then you have to have an AVRISP ($30 or $40) in order
to change the config bits to enable JTAG.

Hello David,
Thank you for the clarifications :)
I found the AVRdragon to be very interesting. I think I will get one.
It is not so hard to build one programmer ISP+JTAG+debugWIRE tought:

It is only ISP and JTAG, sorry.

Dear Frnd,
It is AVRISPMK2.It only programs no debug.
