\begin_layout Section
Dependencies
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Python 3.7 or later is required
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\begin_layout Section
Supported chips
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Just execute the following command to get a list of supported chips:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
toprammer --list
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For a more verbose list,
 also pass the -V parameter with a verbosity level number:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
toprammer --list -V99
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Installation
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Just execute
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
python ./setup.py install
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
as root inside of the toprammer distribution package's root directory.
 Note that 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

setuptools
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 have to be installed on your system.
 See dependencies.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Graphical user interface tool usage
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The toprammer GUI tool is called 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

toprammer-gui
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 To start it just run:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
toprammer-gui
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Note that,
 depending on your system config,
 you might need to run toprammer-gui as root to allow USB hardware access.
 If you get 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Operation not permitted" errors,
 try to re-run toprammer-gui as root.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Commandline tool usage
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Toprammer needs the identification string of the chip that is inserted into the ZIF socket.
 Additionally it needs an action to be performed on the chip.
 So a call to toprammer might look like this:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
toprammer --chip-id atmega32dip40 --read-prog flash.img
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
That command selects an Atmel AtMega32 DIP40 chip and reads its flash contents into the flash.img file.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For a list of supported chips,
 see the
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
topgrammer --list
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
command.
 It will print a list of supported chip-IDs.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
ZIF socket layout
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The ZIF socket layout generator "toprammer-layout" will try to generate a chip-insert layout with the given parameters and print it as ASCII-art to the console.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For example,
 if you have a DIP28 packaged chip,
 that needs VCC on pin 7,
 VPP on pin 1 and GND on pin 8,
 you'd issue the following command:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
toprammer-layout -d top2049 --package DIP28 --vcc 7 --vpp 1 --gnd 8
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This will show you a layout of how to insert the chip into the programmer.
 It will also show which pins of the ZIF are powered.
 This will hopefully match your request.
 :) Alternatively,
 it will yield an error message,
 if it was unable to find a layout that fits the contraints.
 Note that the –vcc,
 –vpp and –gnd pins specified on the commandline are with respect to the package (_not_ the ZIF socket).
 The whole purpose of the tool is to map the package and its pin layout to the ZIF socket,
 while obeying the programmer constraints.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Alternatively you can specify one of the supported chip-IDs to toprammer-layout:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
toprammer-layout -d top2049 --package atmega8dip28
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This will show you the layout of the AtMega8 DIP28.
\end_layout
