Boot Loader[edit | edit source]
micronucleus is a 2Kb boot loader that provides a bit banged USB interface for directly updating user code without teh need for a programming device or dedicated USB to UART/Serial hardware.

A new ATtiny85 chip will need a time operation, i.e., be flashed with this bootloader. avrdude is a useful solution for this, and the following demonstrates such process with a Bus Pirate.
Check proper connectivity with chip via Bus Pirate connected at ttyUSB0
$ avrdude -c buspirate -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -p t85 Attempting to initiate BusPirate binary mode... avrdude: Paged flash write enabled. avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions Reading | ################################################## | 100% 0.09s avrdude: Device signature = 0x1e930b (probably t85) avrdude: safemode: Fuses OK (E:FF, H:DF, L:62) avrdude done. Thank you.
Write file "t85_default.hex" to ATtiny85
