ZigBit with avrdude and Bus Pirate



Full disclosure, I haven't exactly 'programmed' the zigbit yet, but I do seem to be able to communicate to it with it using avrdude with a buspirate.

I found a few posts on this, but I think there were some errors in them. I wanted to post what worked for me in case it helps someone.

The board is my own breakout board - but all pins listed here are the pins on the actual ZigBit module.

I have the 'seed' cable, and not the 'sparkfun' cable:

I of course have GND and 3.3v hooked up to their proper places -

GND - 9,22,23
3.3v - 24,25 (I use a bypass cap and a ferrite bead as indicated in the datasheet)
MOSI (grey) goes to 38
MISO (black) goes to 39
CS (white) goes to 8
and CLK (violet) goes to pin 1

Unless I'm looking at things wrong (Its late :-) - it is different than what is posted In this post by Atmel.


I am hoping to use Contiki OS on this - I am looking at a post Here.
