2.3 Connecting to the Host Computer
Before connecting up the Atmel AVR JTAGICE mkII for the first time, be sure to install the USB driver on the host computer. This is done automatically when installing the front-end software provided free by Atmel. See www.atmel.com for further information or to download the latest front-end software.
The JTAGICE mkII can connect to the host PC through a USB cable or serial cable (to COM port on the PC).
