#172632 - FLIP does not support ATmega8
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Read the FLIP documentation.

From memory, FLIP only supports the CAN and USB variants of the AVR.
Likewise it only supports the 8051 chips that have a RS232 or USB bootloader like AT89C51RD2 or AT89C5131.

Most Atmel 8051 chips do NOT have a bootloader.
Most Atmel AVR chips do NOT have a bootloader.

Even those Atmel chips that do have a factory bootloader can destroy the bootloader by ISP.

You can install a different bootloader into any Atmel chip. But only by ISP or JTAG. So you have a chicken and egg situation.
