Assembly and Schematic
Loading USBasp bootloader on ATMEGA
Start from
http://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/usbasploader.html
Edit bootloaderconfig.h and
adapt port names according to schematic and
Quartz frequency used and
Use ISP programmer like stk500 compatible
http://wiki.ullihome.de/wiki/USBAVRLab/Firmwares/SK500v2
or another hardware USBasp to burn the bootloader
into atmega8, take care to burn correct fuses and lock bits
for atmega8
USBasp driver installation
Linux and MacOS X
No driver is needed.
Windows XP
1. Download and unzip USBasp driver
http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/usbasp-windriver.2011-05-28.zip
2. Plug-in Arduino and click reset button.
3. New hardware will be found, update driver by pointing it to the USBasp driver directory
Windows 7
Follow the instructions from the link below. We found that this solution doesn't work on all Win 7 computers. Also note that device will only work on usb port used during installation ???CHECK???. Plug-in the Arduino and click reset button before creating driver.

Programming with AVRDUDE ??? ili šta ???
Linux
MacOS X
Install CrossPack. CrossPack is a development environment for Atmel’s AVR® microcontrollers running on Apple’s Mac OS X, similar to AVR Studio on Windows. It consists of the GNU compiler suite, a C library for the AVR, the AVRDUDE uploader and several other useful tools.

Windows
Programming with Arduino IDE
1. Download latest Arduino software for your OS:
http://arduino.cc/hu/Main/Software
2. Find file "boards.txt" inside Arduino app folder, and add following lines at the bottom.

3. Open Arduino IDE. Go to Tools menu and set Programmer to "USBasp" and Board to "Arduino from Scratch w/ ATmega8"
4. Click reset button on Arduino.
5. Paste "timer.c" code in new file and click "Upload". Ignore the warning "avrdude: warning: cannot set sck period. please check for usbasp firmware update.". Arduino should start blinking immediately – you have just reprogrammed it :-)
Next you can try some Arduino examples. Note that Arduino IDE uses it's own nomenclature for the ports (digital 1,2,3… analog in 1,2,3…). Trace them on Arduino schematic to find to which ATmega8 chip pin they are mapped. You can also use diagram below, or print out small sticker and stick it over ATmega8 chip.
