Application Note
1. Introduction
The aim of this document is to describe how to perform the firmware upgrade of the
AT90USB products using the on-chip bootloader and FLIP software.
2. Description
The AT90USB products are delivered with an on-chip bootloader. This bootloader
allows the user to program the FLASH/EEPROM memories through the USB
interface.
To perform firmware upgrade, Atmel has developed an application called FLIP . This
software is a flexible application which lets you program and configure Atmel's micro-
controller devices in their final environment without needing any dedicated hardware.
The latest release of FLIP offers the following capabilities:
" Perform In-System Programming through RS232, USB or CAN interfaces.
" May be used through its intuitive Graphical User Interface or launched from
a DOS window, from an embedded software IDE (AVR Studio), or even from
your own application
" Buffer editing capabilities: fill, search, copy, reset, modify, goto address.
" Target device memory control: erase, blank check, program, verify, read,
security level and special bytes reading and setting.
" Parts serialization capability (from batchisp only).
" ISP hardware conditions may be set by software.

As shown in the above figure, the AT90USB products have a new fuse bit (Comparing to a stan-
dard AVR device). This fuse bit is the HWBE, it is enabled by default. Adding to this new fuse bit,
the AT90USB products have a new pin: the HWB. This pin should be active low under RESET to
launch the bootloader.
To allow the user to perform the bootloader function, all AT90USB kits have two buttons: RST to
active the reset and the HWB to active the HWB pin.

6. Device Firmware Upgrade
The Flip software is the tool used to upgrade the firmware (available freely in the USB CD-
ROM or Atmel website).
The following steps should be completed to allow the device starting DFU mode (bootloader),
and program the FLASH or the EEPROM memory:
1. Install Flip software (Flip version 3.0 or above is required).
2. Connect the AT90USB board (STK525, AT90USBKey...) to the PC using the USB cable
(Standard A to Mini B).
3. Push the HWB (Hardware Bootloader) button
4. Push the RST (Reset) button
5. Release the RST button
6. Release the HWB button
7. If your hardware conditions explained above are correct, a new device detection wizard
will be displayed. Please follow the instructions (the INF file is located in the USB subdi-
rectory from Flip installation: install path:\ATMEL\FLIP\FLIPx.x.x\usb ). The new
device detection wizard may not appear if the suitable hardware is already installed,
you can jump to step 8.

8. Check the Device Manager Figure 6-4. and you should see the same icon (Atmel DFU
icon) as shown in the figure below. If not, repeat step 2.

Once your device is in DFU mode, launch the Flip software and follow the instructions explained
below, Figure 6-5.

7. FAQs
1. After programming my device using the JTAGICE MKII or the AVRISP, I cannot start the
bootloader anymore?
" When you use the JTAGICE MKII or AVRISP, the first instruction performed is the full chip
erase. This instruction erases the whole of the flash memory and deletes the bootloader. You
have to load the bootloader HEX file again using the JTAGICE MKII or the AVRISP to be able
to use flip software to program the device.
2. I have a Flip 2.4.x/3.0.x version on my computer. I installed Flip 3.1.y, When I start the
bootloader, I cannot see the Amel DFU icon in my device manager window as shown in
the figure 6.4, I still have the Jungo icon?
" Flip 2.4.x and Flip 3.1.y are not using the same USB driver. You have to update the driver
used for the bootloader:
Open the device manager
Right-click on the AT90USB Jungo icon
Select Update Driver
Continue as described in the section 6 (Device Firmware Upgrade)
3. Can I modify the fuse bits using Flip?
" No, Flip cannot modify the fuse bits. To modify the fuse bit you can use either the JTAG ICE
MKII, the AVRISP MKII, or parallel programming.
4. What is the difference between starting the application with the Reset box checked off
or not?
" If you start the application with the Reset box checked off, the device will start after a
Watchdog reset and this watchdog will remain active. You need to disable the Watchdog in
your application. Resetting the device, ensures there is no side effect from resources used by
the boot-loader before starting the user application.
