In the bulleted list there are some mistakes: - libc should be: avr-libc - usip should be: uisp The author pointed out how difficult it is to use uisp on the Mac. The author should have gotten avrdude instead: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avrdude avrdude is known to work under Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, and Mac OS X. And it's licensed under the GPL.

  Thanks missed those things.
  
  I hadn't seen avrdude. It seems very complete with all the bells and whistles. The only problem is it requires a parallel port. I had some very slight acquaintance with a USB <-> Parallel port device but never could get it working on the Mac. Perhaps others would work. I ended up rolling my own download program since I had the Delcom board. Not as nice as avrdude but pretty natural as I do this kind of thing in my (paid) embedded work.
  
  I will look into adapting the Delcom device into the avrdude program. I just did a build of it on OS X and found it does need a bunch of _ppi_xxxx routines which I guess is where you insert your parallel port drive routines.
