The driver will work on both 32 and 64 bit platforms. On Linux And Mac OS X no kernel driver is required, just use AVRdude and specify the correct port. The programmer will work with a wide variety of Atmel AVR microcontrollers including the Atmega8a and Atmega168a. A full list is available on the specifications tab.

EXtreme Burner – AVR is a Windows GUI Software for USBasp based USB AVR programmers. A command line light weight dfu-programmer can also be used. USBAsp AVR Arduino Programmer Drivers There are a few variants of the USBAsp, mostly they work the same and need the same drivers. This guide is for the ones that look like this, but as I say mostly they work the same so try it anyway.

USBasp is a USB in-circuit programmer for Atmel AVR controllers. It simply consists of an ATMega88 or an ATMega8 and a couple of passive components. The programmer uses a firmware-only USB driver, no special USB controller is needed.Features
- Works under multiple platforms. Linux, Mac OS X and Windows are tested.
- No special controllers or smd components are needed.
- Programming speed is up to 5kBytes/sec.
- SCK option to support targets with low clock speed (< 1,5MHz).
